Sr. Product Manager – Data Security

Proofpoint is a global leader in human- and agent-centric cybersecurity. We protect how people, data, and AI agents connect across email, cloud, and collaboration tools. Over 80 of the Fortune 100, 10,000 large enterprises, and millions of smaller organizations trust Proofpoint to stop threats, prevent data loss, and build resilience across their people and AI workflows. Our mission is simple: safeguard the digital world and empower people to work securely and confidently. Join us in our pursuit to defend data and protect people.

At Proofpoint you’ll be part of a global team that breaks barriers to redefine cybersecurity guided by our BRAVE core values: 

• →

  Experience as a product manager in cybersecurity, or as a sales engineer / solutions architect ready to move into core product management, with the technical depth to back it.

• →

  A track record of owning a product area and driving it from roadmap to adopted product, and standing behind your priority calls with engineering and stakeholders

• →

  Evidence of relevant technical depth.

• →

  Ability to reason about how data gets discovered, scanned, and assessed for risk, and hold your own with the engineers who build that pipeline.

• →

  AI fluency -  You already use AI tooling to do your own work faster, and you look for ways to build that same speed into how your product area and your team operate.

• →

  Clear writing and speaking. You can put a tight product brief and a defensible prioritization case on the page and in the room.

• Background in data security, DSPM, DLP, or an adjacent cloud and SaaS security area.

• Experience owning a technically deep product: a detection or scanning engine, a data-processing pipeline, or a similar backend area where correctness and scale both matter.

• Familiarity with the environments DSPM works across, such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Snow flake, and Salesforce.

• Comfort working as a senior individual contributor, driving outcomes through influence rather than a reporting line.
