At Forescout, we build defenses that keep civilization running smoothly in an increasingly connected world.\nFor more than 25 years, Fortune 100 organizations, government agencies, and large enterprises have trusted Forescoutas their foundation to manage cyber risk, ensure compliance, and mitigate threats. From power grids and healthcare systems to financial networks and transportation hubs, Forescoutprotects the critical infrastructure of our modern world.\nWhat You Will Do\nWe are seeking a high-caliber, highly driven Director of Product Management to lead key elements of Forescout’snext-generation cybersecurity strategy across the full digital terrain. This is not a network-security-only role. The successful candidate will understand cyber risk through the combined lenses of devices and assets, users and identities, networks and communications, and the physical processes those systems monitor or control across IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT environments.This is a visible, customer-facing portfolio leadership role for a decisive self-starter who combines strategic and technical depth with exceptional executive presenceand can turn strategy into delivered outcomes.\nThe Director will lead through influence across Product, Engineering, Architecture, UX, Product Marketing, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and Services. This leader must command a room, communicate complex ideas with clarity and conviction, think quickly under pressure, and build credibility with customers, field teams, technical leaders, and executives. They will create alignment, make tradeoffsexplicit, and drive accountable execution across the full customer experience-from discovery and product definition through delivery, launch, adoption, support, and expansion.\nPortfolio Strategy and Investment: Translate company priorities, market opportunities, and customer problems into investment themes, outcome-based roadmaps, and sequenced plans for protecting cyber-physical systems across device, identity,network, and physical-process layers.\nConnect Investment, Roadmap, and Delivery:Establish a transparent line of sight from funding and capacity decisions to roadmap commitments, delivery milestones, customer value, and business impact.\nCross-Portfolio Cyber-Physical Leadership:Drive customer journeys and capabilities that unify device and asset intelligence, user and machine identity, network context and control, exposure management, threat defense, policy, segmentation, and enforcement across IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT. Evaluate outcomes in the context of operational continuity, resilience, safety, and mission impact-not through a network-only lens or isolatedproduct silos.\nCustomer and Market Leadership:Meet regularly with customers, prospects, partners, and field leaders across enterprise IT and cyber-physical environments to understand how devices, identities, networks, and physical operations intersect. Translate those insights into scalableprioritiesthat address risk without disrupting critical business, industrial, or clinical processes.\nPrioritization and Tradeoffs:Frame decisions using customer impact, strategic fit, revenue potential, risk, cost, evidence, dependencies, and time to value. Recommend where to invest, partner, adjust, defer, or stop.\nRoadmap and Execution Discipline:Build coherent plans with clear outcomes, ownership, dependencies, milestones, decision points, and measures of success. Distinguish vision, plan, and commitment, and surface delivery risk early.\nEnd-to-EndCustomer Outcomes: Own outcomes across the entire customer experience, ensuringinitiatives address discovery, evaluation,deployment, integration, operations, reporting, supportability, adoption, value realization, renewal, and expansion-not merely feature delivery.\nExecutive Presentations, Demos,and Field Readiness:Deliver persuasive customer briefings, roadmap presentations, demonstrations, executive reviews, and industry-facing sessions. Translate complex capabilities into clear narratives, use cases, value propositions, launch criteria, and enablement that customers and field teams can understand and act on.\nPerformance and Adoption:Define success metrics, inspect adoption and business performance, and use evidence to guide continued investment and roadmap adjustments.\nGTM and Marketing Alignment:Partner closely with Sales, Product Marketing, Marketing, Customer Success, and Services leadership to align positioning, demand creation, field execution, launch plans, and customer feedback with product strategy and roadmap priorities.\nEngineering and Organizational Leadership:Provide strong direction across multiple engineering teams, establish clear outcomes and priorities, resolve ambiguity and dependencies, and hold teams accountable for commitments.
