Senior Product Manager, Cyber/Email Security

CyberNut•Remote, Remote

13d•$100,000 - $150,000•Remote

About The Position

CyberNut is the #1 security awareness training platform built for K-12 schools, protecting over 1.4 million students and 400,000+ faculty and staff across 400+ school districts. This role owns CyberNut's security product end to end, including active threat triage and remediation, compromised-account detection and containment, email security gateway capabilities, and related integrations. The company is investing in moving from awareness training into real detection and response. This role is designed for the AI era, where Product Managers are expected to actively build and iterate on products using AI prototyping and code-generation tools like Claude. The Product Manager will produce working, interactive prototypes that are 70-80% complete, allowing the UI/UX design team to finalize them. This is a hands-on individual contributor role with no direct reports, operating as a peer to the VP of Product and other senior PMs. The role involves direct customer interaction with IT directors and security staff, defining product strategy, prototyping, and launching with a lean engineering team. While a K-12 background is not required, curiosity to learn the educational sector's operational context is essential. AI prototyping is a core expectation of this role.

Requirements

5+ years in product management, with senior or lead-level ownership of a product or major area in CyberSecurity/Email Security B2B SaaS.
Cybersecurity/Email Security SaaS experience: phishing, email security, threat remediation, account takeover, or detection and response.
Demonstrated fluency with AI prototyping. You can show us working prototypes you have personally built with Claude or comparable AI tools. A portfolio of what you have made matters more than résumé bullet points.
A track record of doing your own customer discovery, not outsourcing it.
Enough technical fluency to reason about detection logic, data models, integrations, and reporting with engineers.
Strong product judgment and the backbone to push back on stakeholders, including sales and executives, with evidence rather than opinion.
The curiosity and speed to absorb the K-12 customer context: how districts buy, how thin their IT teams are, and what FERPA and state security reviews demand.
Clear, fast writing, and the temperament to thrive in a remote, fast-moving startup with little hand-holding.

Nice To Haves

Experience with email security gateway, secure email, or anti-phishing products at the detection-and-response layer.
Experience shipping products with AI features embedded in them, including evaluating model output, handling hallucination and data-privacy risk, and knowing when AI is the wrong solution.
Experience with integrations into mail platforms (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365) or back-office and identity tooling.
Experience supporting enterprise sales motions and security review processes.
B2B SaaS experience selling into education or public sector.

Responsibilities

Own the product direction for the security product, from validated problem statement through design, execution, and launch.
Run customer discovery with district IT and security staff on a regular cadence, and turn what you hear into an evidence-backed roadmap for threat remediation, account-takeover protection, and email security.
Build interactive prototypes, fast, with Claude and other AI prototyping tools, and hand them off 70 to 80% complete with the research, call recordings, and reasoning behind them, so design refines rather than reverse-engineers.
Drive the expansion of CyberNut's detection and response capability: reported-threat workflows, auto-remediation, compromised-account containment, and email security gateway functionality.
Drive prioritization with discipline, and defend those calls with evidence when sales, customers, or leadership push, especially on competitive deals.
Write the problem statements and PRDs that carry work through our gated product process (intake, development readiness, prioritization, go/no-go, launch).
Partner with engineering to stress-test feasibility, scope, and trade-offs, and dig into detection logic, data-model, integration, and reporting questions, knowing when an answer does not add up.
Support enterprise and large-district deals: respond to security and compliance questionnaires, scope what is realistic, and feed real prospect needs back into the roadmap without letting a single deal hijack it.
Define and track the metrics that tell you whether what you shipped actually reduced risk for customers.
