Principal Business Intelligence & Product Operation

About the role
 

We are looking for a commercially sharp Strategy & GTM Lead to join our Data Security Product Management team. This role sits at the intersection of product, sales, marketing and finance — owning pricing and packaging across our data security portfolio (DSPM, DSF, FAM, CipherTrust), running our competitive and win-loss programs, and serving as the commercial bridge between what we build and how we sell it.​

What You'll Own

• Pricing & Packaging: Own pricing and packaging strategy across the portfolio — list price, tier and edition design, metering and consumption models, discount architecture, and cross-product bundling.
• Competitive Analysis: Own the competitive program — battlecards, positioning, objection handling, and displacement plays that Sales actually uses. Track competitor pricing, packaging, releases, and GTM motion, and translate movement into a recommendation.
• Win-Loss Analysis: Build and run a repeatable win-loss program end to end — interview design, execution, and synthesis. Separate the reported loss reason from the real one: product gap, price, packaging, competitive displacement, or sales execution. Close the loop into the roadmap and into enablement.
• Pipeline Analysis: Analyze pipeline health by product, segment, and route to market. Find where deals stall, name why, and drive the fix with the accountable owner.
• Back Office & Commercial Operations: Serve as Product's interface to the back office.
• Field Enablement and GTM: Equip Sales and Sales Engineering to sell on value — pricing guidance, competitive training, and value articulation.

What We're Looking For

Must have:

• 10+ years in outbound product management, product marketing, pricing strategy, or GTM strategy for enterprise B2B software — with at least 5 years personally owning pricing, competitive, or win-loss outcomes
• 5+ years in security business
• Hands-on ownership of a real pricing or packaging change: what you changed, why, what it did to ASP or win rate, and what you got wrong
• Hands on experience with analyzing pipelines and performing win-loss analysis
• Experience with leading GTM activities
• Ability to influence Sales, Finance, and Operations without authority over any of them
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Team player who brings evidence, states plainly when the data is thin, and makes the call anyway
   

Advantages:

• Strong advantage - DSPM market experience — data security posture management, data discovery and classification.
• Data Security experience more broadly — DAM, encryption and key management, DLP, data governance
• Enterprise security in an adjacent segment — endpoint, network, cloud, identity, or SIEM/SOC
• Portfolio spanning both on-premises/hybrid and SaaS, including the pricing tension between them
• Consumption or usage-based pricing experience; channel, MSSP, or hyperscaler marketplace motion
• Familiarity with the compliance drivers behind data security spend (GDPR, PCI DSS, DORA, NIS2, data residency and sovereignty)
• SQL or BI tooling (Tableau, Power BI)
