Role Overview
You are a senior product leader who wants to shape how AI transforms IT and cyber risk management at scale. In this role, you will own one of the most strategic product areas in a global GRC SaaS platform, defining how organisations identify, assess, and act on cyber risk — and how CISOs and boards get the clarity they need when it matters most.
You will set and drive the product vision, roadmap, and outcomes for IT & Cyber Risk on a multi-solution platform used by enterprises worldwide. You will partner closely with engineering, design, data science, and senior leaders to build AI-native capabilities that automate risk detection, prioritisation, and reporting. Your work will have high executive visibility, real strategic weight, and direct impact on how customers manage governance, risk, and compliance.
Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff)
Lead the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap for IT & Cyber Risk, aligning to company objectives and broader platform direction.
Design and deliver AI-powered features (LLMs, agents, ML models) that automate risk identification, assessment, and reporting for enterprise security and risk teams.
Partner with engineering, data science, and design to define technical approaches, ship high-quality releases across web, mobile, and API, and iterate using product analytics.
Develop deep market and customer insight by engaging regularly with CISOs, security leaders, and risk managers, and turn those insights into clear product bets.
Define, track, and communicate product KPIs, AI performance metrics, and north star outcomes to senior stakeholders, including business cases for major investments.
Work cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Professional Services, and Marketing to ensure successful launches and adoption of new IT & Cyber Risk capabilities.
These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview
7+ years of product management experience, including significant time building SaaS products.
Proven track record of owning and delivering complex B2B product roadmaps end-to-end.
Deep domain experience in IT risk, cyber risk, or information security, working closely with CISOs, security, or risk functions.
Hands-on experience shaping or building AI-powered product features (for example using LLMs, agents, or ML models) and understanding how they work in practice.
Confidence partnering with engineering and data science on technical design trade-offs and feasibility.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to simplify complex topics and influence senior, cross-functional teams.
Data-driven mindset: comfortable using product analytics, experimentation, and OKRs to make decisions and measure impact.
It would be great if you had these too, but we’ll support you if you don’t
Experience in governance, risk and compliance (GRC), compliance, or enterprise risk environments.
Background working in agile product delivery (such as Scrum), and/or formal product or agile certifications.
Familiarity with cyber regulations and standards, and how they shape enterprise risk and security programs.
