Product Manager - Threat, Risk & Compliance Group

Who we are:

We are a fast-growing data science and analytics company that helps organisations manage their security posture using automated metrics and reporting; protecting critical services and data we all rely on.

We’re at the forefront of the cybersecurity industry and have received multiple industry recognitions, having been included in two Gartner Hype Cycles for emerging technologies. In July 2020, Panaseer was featured as an inaugural vendor in the new category of Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) for Risk Management. In July 2021, we were included as an inaugural vendor in the new category of Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) for Network Security. Recently, Momentum Cyber included CCM in its Cybersecurity Almanac, as a next generation technology that will shape the future of cybersecurity, also including Panaseer as an inaugural vendor.

Panaseer developed the first Continuous Controls Monitoring platform that uses automated, data-driven security metrics to give enterprise security leaders greater visibility into their cybersecurity posture. This gives anyone – from executive to analyst – live, trusted insight into their security posture, enabling them to make the best decisions about risk, confidently report to key stakeholders, hold people accountable and prioritise remediation based on their business priorities.

We have raised over $43 million in funding and have won numerous awards - most recently being named winner of ‘Best Product in Continuous Controls Monitoring’ in the Cyber Defense Magazine Awards at RSA Conference 2020. Panaseer’s CCM platform was named as the ‘Best Regulatory Compliance Tool and Solution’ at the 2020 SC Awards Europe. We were also named the ‘Hottest CyberTech Startup’ at TechCrunch's Europas’ Awards.

We have multiple strategic partnerships with leading technology vendors such as Cisco, Amazon Web Services and RSA which strengthens our platform.

Requirements

Product Management at Panaseer

We are looking for a Product Manager to take the next step in their career and lead a new cross functional product team in our Threat, Risk and Compliance (TRC) group.

The Product Manager will be the first hire of a new team and will be at the forefront of discovering how the evolving technology, threat and regulatory landscapes impact our customers’ ability to measure, report, and evidence security posture in a complete, trusted, and timely manner. The Product Manager will identify innovative solutions to these user problems.

The Product Manager will lead initiatives from product discovery, working closely with design and the engineering technical lead to propose, refine, and define scope. The Product Manager will be responsible for determining and monitoring the success of the initiatives their team delivers and reporting to the wider product team and business.  

The TRC product group is accountable for the goals and experiences of our users who are tasked with strategic decision making and reporting as it relates to the holistic security posture of the business.

Typical user roles would be the Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Information Officers (CIOs) or any risk and security executives who are required to hold their peers in other departments (e.g. IT) accountable for the security performance of their part organisation; to report across and upwards to governance and risk committees, the C-suite and the Board to evidence the security posture of the business relative to an evolving threat landscape and justify the ROI on strategic investments in security; and finally to report outside the business to interested third parties such as regulators and external auditors where they are required to demonstrate compliance to industry standards and regulations.
