Key Responsibilities

• Product Vision & Strategy: Define and execute the long-term product strategy and roadmap for Exterro’s Digital Forensics solutions, aligning with overall company objectives.

• Market & Competitive Analysis: Actively monitor industry trends, emerging technologies (e.g., cloud forensics, mobile artifacts, AI-driven analysis), and competitor landscapes to identify new market opportunities.

• Customer Advocacy: Deeply understand user personas (DFIR professionals, law enforcement, corporate investigators). Gather and prioritize feedback through interviews, advisory boards, and user data.

• Product Lifecycle Management: Write comprehensive Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) and user stories. Partner closely with Engineering and UX/UI teams in an Agile environment to build, test, and ship high-quality features.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to develop go-to-market (GTM) strategies, pricing models, product positioning, and training materials.

• Data-Driven Decisions: Establish and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure product adoption, customer satisfaction, and financial success.

Qualifications & Skills

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in Software Product Management, preferably within Digital Forensics, Incident Response (DFIR), Cybersecurity, or E-Discovery.

• Domain Expertise: Strong foundational knowledge of forensic collection, processing, and analysis techniques. Familiarity with FTK, EnCase, Cellebrite, Axiom, or similar forensic tools is highly desirable.

• Technical Aptitude: Ability to grasp complex technical concepts (e.g., file systems, cloud architecture, API integrations) and translate them into clear business and product requirements.

• Agile Methodology: Proven track record of managing product backlogs and working effectively within Agile/Scrum development frameworks.

• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to confidently pitch ideas to executives and talk shop with engineers.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Digital Forensics, or a related technical/business field (or equivalent practical experience). Relevant certifications (e.g., ACE, EnCE, GCFE) are a plus.
