Senior Director, Product Management – Autonomous Remediation Platform (Autonomous RemOps)
About the Role
Location: Foster City, CA, USA 3-days’ work from office
Organization: Product GTM & SME
Reports To: SVP of Product Management
Qualys is redefining cybersecurity operations through the Enterprise TruRisk Platform and the industry's first AI-Native Risk Operations Center (ROC). We are seeking a visionary Senior Director of Product Management to lead the evolution of TruRisk Eliminate into the market's leading Autonomous Remediation Operations (RemOps) Platform.
This leader will define and execute the strategy for Agentic AI-powered cyber risk reduction, transforming remediation from a manual, ticket-driven process into an autonomous, intelligent, and measurable business workflow.
You will own the vision, roadmap, and execution for a Next-Gen Autonomous RemOps platform that orchestrates risk elimination across vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, cloud exposures, application risks, identity risks, and emerging AI risks.
Working across Product, Engineering, Data Science, AI, Design, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success, you will build the category-defining platform that enables enterprises to move from "finding risk" to "proving risk reduction." Qualys' ETM platform already positions itself as an AI-powered Risk Operations Center with Agentic AI capabilities; this role will define the execution system that closes the loop.
Mission
Build the industry's first Autonomous RemOps Platform that enables enterprises to:
Why This Role Matters
This is not a traditional PM leadership role.
This leader will define the future of cyber risk reduction.
Most security vendors stop at visibility.
Some stop at prioritization.
Very few can execute remediation.
The mission of this role is to build the platform that autonomously eliminates cyber risk at enterprise scale and positions Qualys as the leader in the emerging Autonomous RemOps category—creating a natural evolution from VMDR to ETM to a fully autonomous Risk Operations Center.
"Autonomous RemOps (Remediation Operations): The system of record and system of action for enterprise cyber risk reduction."
That category has the potential to be materially larger than traditional vulnerability management because it spans IT Operations, SecOps, CloudOps, DevOps, IAM, and AI Security rather than just vulnerability scanning.
