Your Role:
Tenable is seeking a talented and dynamic product marketing leader to help extend the company’s leadership across the cloud security (CNAPP) and operational technology (OT) security markets.
Tenable is the Exposure Management company. More than 40,000 organizations around the world rely on us to help them understand and reduce cybersecurity risk. Our goal is to arm every organization, no matter how large or small, with the visibility and insight to answer four critical questions at all times: Where are we exposed? Where should we prioritize based on risk? Are we reducing our exposure over time? How do we compare to our peers?
In this role, you will lead product marketing for Tenable’s Cloud Exposure (CNAPP) and Operational Technology (OT) solutions, with Product Marketing Managers aligned to each area reporting to you. These are two distinct buyer worlds, and a core part of this role is understanding those differences well enough to build credible, differentiated messaging for each, while also connecting both to Tenable's broader exposure management narrative so customers see one coherent platform story. Reporting to the Senior Director of Product Marketing, you will interface and regularly collaborate with a variety of departments across Tenable and play a key role in successfully executing product launches, enablement programs and demand generation campaigns for both the cloud security and OT businesses. You will leverage analytics, establish benchmarks, and gain feedback to identify program success and opportunities for improvement.

- Serve as a voice of the sales team to the product development organization
- Manage and develop Product Marketing Managers aligned to cloud security and OT, including setting priorities and ensuring alignment across both go-to-market strategies
- Recruit, onboard and train new hires
- Provide mentorship, guidance and career development to members of the team
- Create an inclusive, supportive environment where all team members can do their best work
- Evaluate performance of the team, including quarterly performance feedback for each team member; complete annual reviews and recommend rewards (merit/promotion/equity) based on performance for the review period
- Partner with manager on budget requests and spending for strategy and team development needs
