Cisco is looking for an experienced security product manager to join our Catalyst security team leading the development of operational automation solutions tightly integrated with Cisco's Routing, SD-WAN and Security Services Stack.

What You'll Do

Enterprise Routing & SD-WAN is a multi-billion-dollar core business for Cisco where we enjoy high market shares. The Catalyst 8000 is used by tens of thousands of Enterprises, Government and Service Provider customers across the globe. As a result of the convergence of networking and security, there is a major opportunity to reshape the wide-area-networking business where security policies can be defined centrally and implemented across a distributed fabric closest to users, devices and workloads. As Cisco moves towards a more software focused strategy with high levels of security integration, this is a great time to help pave and transform the Routing & SD-WAN space.

• Definition of product requirements and strategies, aligned with customer needs and market trends for API/SDK integrations and automation solutions for networking & security market.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to design and develop API-based operational automation solutions for networking and security.
• Engage with customers to gather feedback and understand their operational automation needs.
• Monitor product performance and make data-driven decisions to improve product offerings.
• Stay updated on the latest trends and technologies to keep our products ahead of the curve.

Who You'll Work With

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, technical marketing, sales, and customer support. Also, you will be working across multiple Cisco businesses including Catalyst Networking, Cisco Security and Meraki to deliver consistent customer experiences. This is an outstanding opportunity to influence the product development roadmap at Cisco and make a mark in the global networking and security market.

Who You Are

As a self-starter, you thrive in dynamic environments and have a knack for making things happen. You are a strategic problem solver who can translate market needs into actionable product requirements. You take the responsibility of delivering a successful product to heart, and step in wherever needed, even if crossing typical role boundaries; you never shy away from the details nor lose sight of the bigger picture. You value creativity, and are curious, and do not hesitate to ask thoughtful questions. The best candidates are team-first but willing to take the lead with minimal direction.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree + 8 years of related experience, or Master's degree + 6 years, or PhD + 3 years.
• Product Management experience, including defining product requirements, managing product backlogs, and driving product strategy.
• Experience within network security, specifically developing and delivering security features or operational automation solutions and API-based solutions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Ability to work closely with engineering to understand technical tradeoffs and their impact on the product.
• Experience with relevant programming languages and tools commonly used in API development (e.g., RESTful APIs, GraphQL, JSON, XML, Postman, Swagger).
• Ability to bring together insights from every corner (customers, engineering, design, and go-to-market teams) to ensure the best product experience.
• Effective communication to any audience (company leadership, engineering, customers, and more) is key to success in this role.
