About The Position

Proofpoint is seeking a Vice President of Product Management to lead Satori, their agentic AI business. Satori operates as a startup within Proofpoint, focusing on building agents that automate security tasks. The role is a business-owner position, responsible for the strategy, product, go-to-market, and revenue commitments of the Satori business. The VP will influence other business units to build on the Satori platform, own the go-to-market motion with a dedicated Product Marketing Manager, and manage the Satori platform and product line, including MCP Access. This is a rare opportunity for a product leader to drive significant business outcomes.

Requirements

Product leader who has carried business revenue, pricing, and GTM responsibilities, not just roadmap and delivery.
Demonstrated ability to drive outcomes across teams not directly managed, in ambiguous and fast-moving environments.
Strong platform and product-line experience (APIs, identity/access, monetization, infrastructure) with a focus on outcomes.
Extensive GTM experience including evangelism, ICP definition, POCs, enablement, packaging, pricing, and deal review.
Credibility with engineers on technical aspects (architecture, APIs, auth, telemetry) and with commercial leaders on business aspects (packaging, value, GTM).
Track record of building and coaching empowered product teams that own outcomes.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, sound judgment, and a bias for action.

Nice To Haves

Cybersecurity experience (collaboration security, data security, identity, or security operations).
Experience with usage- or consumption-based monetization models.
Experience productizing third-party integrations and ecosystem/partner offerings.
0-to-1 or startup-style experience within a larger company.
Familiarity with agentic-security and automation platform patterns, including competitors like CrowdStrike Charlotte AI, Palo Alto Networks, Splunk SOAR, and Microsoft security automation.

Responsibilities

Own the Satori business, including revenue, consumption/credits model, packaging, pricing, and usage visibility.
Define and execute product strategy for the Satori platform (Mission Control, Agent Foundry, Agent Harness, MCP Access, Consumption Ledger) and shared standards.
Manage MCP Access as a product line, enabling third-party agents and systems to consume Proofpoint data and APIs.
Oversee the end-to-end go-to-market strategy, including evangelism, ICP definition, POCs, enablement, training, pricing, and quote review.
Implement and manage the operating model, including the steering committee and cross-BU governance.
Hire, coach, and develop the Satori Product Management team, fostering a culture of outcome-oriented product development.
Set and communicate a product strategy that encourages adoption by engineers in other business units.
Conduct continuous discovery with customers, field teams, and internal builders.
Build governance into the platform, including guardrails, explainability, auditability, and supervision pathways.
Operate the cross-BU model steering committee and resolve conflicts to ensure mission teams remain focused and productive.
