About The Position

Horizon3 is seeking a Senior/Staff Product Manager to lead the strategy, development, and evolution of NodeZero Tripwires, their threat detection and deception offering. This role is responsible for defining how Horizon3 extends value from offensive validation into continuous detection and response. The Product Manager will own the vision and roadmap for Tripwires, covering core Tripwires, AD Tripwires, deployment and coverage strategy, detection fidelity, alerting and workflow integrations, dashboard experience, and the long-term expansion of the product into a broader threat detection and deception capability. The ideal candidate will deeply understand the operational realities of SOC, SecOps, IR, and hybrid IT/security teams, and translate those needs into scalable, differentiated product capabilities. This role requires strong systems thinking, deep cybersecurity domain knowledge, and the ability to balance technical depth with commercial awareness. The Product Manager will work cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Security stakeholders to ensure Tripwires delivers measurable business outcomes: earlier attacker detection, lower false-positive burden, stronger coverage of identity and crown-jewel risk, and tighter integration into existing customer response workflows. As a senior leader within Product, the candidate will operate with high autonomy, influence executive direction, and serve as the voice of customers using NodeZero to strengthen detection and response. They will define clear success metrics and ensure delivery against adoption, engagement, retention, differentiation, and revenue goals.

Experience working closely with engineers and designers to define product requirements, trade-offs, user workflows, and outcome-based roadmaps
Ability to translate attacker behavior, security telemetry, and defensive workflows into differentiated product experiences and customer value
Strong communication skills with the ability to align executives, go-to-market teams, and engineering around a clear product vision
Comfort operating at both strategic and tactical levels, from market positioning and roadmap direction to requirements, prioritization, and launch execution
Data-driven decision-making skills with experience using product analytics, customer feedback, and operational metrics to guide prioritization

Responsibilities

Define and execute the product strategy for NodeZero Tripwires as a precision threat detection and deception capability rooted in proven attack paths and attacker behavior.
Own the roadmap across Tripwires, AD Tripwires, and adjacent threat detection workflows. Drive prioritization across reliability, scalability, deployment coverage, new tripwire types, analyst workflows, and future detection capabilities.
Extend Horizon3’s core “find, fix, verify” motion into “detect and respond” by turning pentest results into durable defensive value, including automated tripwire placement, contextual alerting, and validation of customer detection posture.
Champion a product philosophy centered on high-confidence alerts, low false positives, and real attacker behavior. Ensure the product continues to differentiate by generating signals that are precise, contextual, and operationally useful.
Define how Tripwires should be deployed automatically on exploited assets, selectively on crown-jewel assets, and from entry points across additional NodeZero workflows such as internal, external, cloud, phishing, insider threat, and rapid response tests.
Partner closely with Engineering to deliver seamless integrations into SIEM, SOAR, ticketing, webhook, and broader SOC tooling ecosystems so customers can operationalize Tripwires inside their existing incident response motions.
Own the Tripwires user experience, including dashboards, contextual alert details, attack-method visibility, weakness and impact correlation, and workflows that help defenders quickly understand what happened and what to do next.
Engage directly with customers, prospects, and partners to understand how modern teams approach threat detection, deception, identity defense, and response. Identify market opportunities, competitive differentiation, and monetization paths that drive growth.
Collaborate closely with Engineering, Design, Support, Marketing, Alliances, and Customer Success to ensure successful launches, enablement, documentation, and adoption at scale.
Define and monitor KPIs such as activation, deployment coverage, alert-to-investigation rate, integration adoption, retention, expansion, NPS, and product contribution to revenue and strategic differentiation.
