About the Role
We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to join our team in a full-time, remote capacity. This is a high-level individual contributor role where you will report directly to the VP of Product.

- Act as a primary spokesperson for our products, effectively communicating value to both internal stakeholders and external customers through demos, documentation, and industry events.
- Build deep, trust-based relationships with buyers and champions to ensure our product development remains focused on high-impact needs while steering the organization away from low-value requests.
Requirements
- At least 8 years of experience in product management, with a preference for candidates who possess an MBA and have experience as a founder or early employee at an enterprise B2B, GovTech, or DefenseTech company.
- Exceptional communication and influence skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts and persuade executive-level decision-makers.
- A proven track record of success within critical infrastructure industries such as cybersecurity, defense, or manufacturing.
- The ability to travel up to 20-30% of the time to engage in face-to-face meetings with enterprise customers, partners, and conference attendees.
- A pragmatic, independent work style paired with a strong bias for action and a commitment to continuous improvement.
