About The Position

We are seeking a visionary and experienced leader to join as the Director of Product Management for our core Data and AI Platform. This is a critical, high-impact role where you will be responsible for the foundational data infrastructure that powers all of SailPoint's AI-driven insights and intelligent features. This is not just another data platform role. You will be at the heart of identity security, working with one of the most comprehensive identity data sets in the world. Your primary responsibility will be to build and scale the platform that collects, processes, and enriches this vast identity data—from user entitlements and access history to roles and activities. Crucially, this platform will be designed to intelligently collect, transform, normalize, correlate, summarize, and store customer-specific and third-party data, creating a unified data ecosystem that serves as the "single source of truth" for our AI services, and which can be used for multiple purposes such as search, querying, graph and AI. For the AI Platform, you will own delivery of the core AI tools that enable other product teams—including our Harbor Pilot teams -- to build and deploy their own AI-powered features. Your platform will provide the leverage that multiplies the efforts of our entire R&D organization, ensuring consistency, quality, and speed. Success in this role means empowering SailPoint to deliver smarter, faster, and more predictive identity security solutions to our customers.
