The Role 

We are looking for an Associate Technical Product Manager to join our Product Management team in Zurich and help shape the continuous improvement of Ontinue’s AI-powered MXDR service. 

This role is ideal for someone with early product management experience or a strong technical, customer-facing background in cyber security, such as Sales Engineering, Security Consulting, Security Operations, or Pre-Sales. You do not need to be an expert in every area. What matters is that you understand cyber security environments, enjoy working with customers and technical teams, and are motivated to grow into a product management role. 

You will work closely with Product, Sales, Engineering, Security Operations, Customer Success, and customers to translate market feedback, customer needs, and technical requirements into clear product priorities, requirements, user stories, and service improvements. 

This is a hands-on role for someone who is structured, curious, customer-focused, and comfortable moving between technical discussions, customer conversations, and product execution. 

 

What You'll Be Doing 

• Support the development and continuous improvement of Ontinue’s MXDR service offering. 

• Work with Product, Sales, Engineering, Security Operations, Customer Success, and customers to understand needs, use cases, pain points, and desired security outcomes. 

• Translate customer, market, and internal feedback into requirements, user stories, product concepts, and roadmap inputs. 

• Support requirements engineering, including discovery, documentation, prioritization, validation, and stakeholder alignment. 

• Join customer and prospect conversations to understand technical requirements and operational challenges. 

• Help bridge commercial and technical teams by capturing, structuring, and following up on product feedback. 

• Create clear diagrams, workflows, presentations, and documentation to explain product concepts and technical ideas. 

• Support go-to-market activities with product knowledge, technical context, competitive insights, and messaging input. 

• Monitor trends in cyber security, MDR, MXDR, SOC operations, Microsoft Security, and AI-powered security operations. 

• Support product initiatives from discovery through execution, gradually taking ownership of selected topics as you grow in the role. 

 

What You Bring 

• 2+ years of experience in Product Management, Requirements Engineering, Sales Engineering, Pre-Sales, Cyber Security Consulting, Security Operations, or a similar technical customer-facing role. 

• Practical cyber security experience, for example in managed security services, threat detection, incident response, SOC operations, consulting, or customer-facing technical work. 

• Ability to understand customer needs, challenge assumptions, and translate feedback into clear product requirements. 

• Confidence working with Sales, customer-facing teams, technical stakeholders, and customers. 

• Structured, analytical thinking combined with a pragmatic, hands-on execution style. 

• Clear communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences. 

• Ability to communicate complex technical ideas through diagrams, workflows, presentations, and written documentation. 

• Curiosity, ownership, and motivation to grow in a fast-moving product environment. 

• Willingness to work regularly from our Zurich office. 

• Fluency in English is required; German is a strong plus. 

 

What Makes You Successful in This Role 

• You succeed in this role by taking ownership, asking the right questions, and turning complex input into clear, actionable requirements. 

• You are comfortable working close to customers and Sales while going deep into technical topics. You care about outcomes, follow through on commitments, and help move topics from discussion to execution.

We have been recognized as a top place to work. In addition to a competitive salary, we also offer great benefits and access to management and Microsoft training. 

Come as you are. We search for amazing people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. Ontinue welcomes and encourages diversity in the workplace regardless of race, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status.
