[Hiring] Director of Product Management @Cobalt

Role Description

Cobalt is hiring a Director of Product Management, Platform to own the product surfaces that connect our pentesting offerings to the rest of a customer's security and business stack, and that make those offerings easy to evaluate, configure, and scale. This is a newly created role on the Product leadership team, reporting to the VP of Product Management, with direct accountability for:

• Platform architecture decisions
• Partner and integration ecosystem
• Pricing and packaging mechanics
• Access and permissions models
• Operational backbone (tooling, metrics, content)

You will lead a team spanning Customer Experience, Product Operations, and Platform/Integrations PMs, and you will be the primary product partner to Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, and Security/Compliance stakeholders on anything that touches how customers connect to, configure, and pay for Cobalt. This is a high-visibility, build-and-scale role: you'll inherit a working integrations program (including a recently shipped Wiz integration) and a clear mandate to mature it into a defensible platform and ecosystem strategy.

What You'll Own

• Platform & Integrations Strategy: Define and execute the roadmap for Cobalt's integration ecosystem (e.g., SFDC, Slack/MS Teams, ticketing and automation tools), including build-vs-partner decisions and a prioritization framework tied to revenue and retention impact.
• Ecosystem & Partnerships: Own the product side of technology partnerships — API/webhook strategy, partner onboarding requirements, and joint roadmap alignment with strategic integration partners.
• Pricing & Packaging: Partner with Finance, Sales, and the VP of Product to design and evolve pricing and packaging across the tiered portfolio, including credits, contracts, and tier-based feature and integration entitlements.
• Roles, Permissions & Access (RBAC): Own the roadmap for role-based access control, authentication, and customer administration capabilities that meet enterprise security and compliance expectations.
• Customer Experience Alignment: Absorb and elevate the Customer Focus charter — customer journey, scoping and calculator experience, findings/reports, asset and engagement management, and customer-facing catalogue — ensuring platform decisions are grounded in real customer workflows.
• Product Operations Leadership: Oversee the operating rhythm of the Product org — roadmap cadence, QBRs, Product Hour, in-platform content (Pendo), technical publications, usage/experience metrics, and tooling/vendor contract management.
• Team Leadership: Manage and develop a team of PMs and product operations professionals; set goals, coach for growth, and represent the team's roadmap to the VP of Product and cross-functional leadership.
• Cross-Functional Execution: Partner closely with Engineering leads and Design to translate platform strategy into epics, acceptance criteria, and shippable releases, and with Customer Success/Sales to ensure GTM readiness for platform and integration launches.

What Success Looks Like in the First Year

• A published platform and integration roadmap, prioritized against a clear framework, with at least one new strategic integration shipped.
• A documented pricing/packaging model for tier-based feature and integration entitlements, adopted by Sales and Finance.
• An RBAC and permissions framework that closes known enterprise/compliance gaps and is referenceable in security reviews.
• A unified Product Operations cadence (roadmaps, QBR, Product Hour, usage metrics) running reliably across the org.
• A team of PMs operating with clear ownership, a healthy backlog discipline, and strong cross-functional trust with Engineering, Design, and GTM.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in product management, including 3+ years in a people-leadership role (Director, Group PM, or equivalent), ideally within B2B SaaS or cybersecurity.
• Demonstrated experience owning platform, integrations, or ecosystem products — defining build-vs-partner tradeoffs and shipping API/webhook-based integrations at scale.
• Direct experience with pricing and packaging design for a multi-tier or multi-product SaaS portfolio.
• Working knowledge of access control, authentication, and enterprise security/compliance requirements (RBAC, SSO, SAML/OIDC) as they apply to product design.
• A track record of leading product operations or platform functions that support an entire product organization (metrics, tooling, roadmap cadence), not just a single product line.
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills — proven ability to align Engineering, Design, Sales, and Customer Success around a shared roadmap.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting strategy and tradeoffs to executive leadership.

Benefits

• Grow in a passionate, rapidly expanding industry operating at the forefront of the Pentesting industry.
• Work directly with experienced senior leaders with ongoing mentorship opportunities.
• Earn competitive compensation and an attractive equity plan.
• Save for the future with a 401(k) program (US) or pension (EU).
• Benefit from medical, dental, vision and life insurance (US) or statutory healthcare (EU).
• Leverage stipends for:
  • Wellness
  • Work-from-home equipment & wifi
  • Learning & development
• Make the most of our flexible, generous paid time off and paid parental leave.
