VP of Product Management

Today's world is crime-riddled. Criminals are everywhere, invisible, virtual and sophisticated. Traditional ways to prevent and investigate crime and terror are no longer enough… 

Technology is changing incredibly fast. The criminals know it, and they are taking advantage. We know it too.  

For 30 years, the incredible minds at Cognyte around the world have worked closely together and put their expertise to work, to keep up with constantly evolving technological and criminal trends, and help make the world a safer place with leading investigative analytics software solutions. 

We seek an exceptional VP of Product Management to lead a large-scale group of Product Managers, Product Experts and Product Marketing Managers. This individual will own the strategic vision and execution of our portfolio of products and will be accountable for end-to-end product and business execution, market growth and penetration and continuous innovation and competitive differentiation.

You will play a critical leadership role, managing and mentoring a team of product managers while working cross-functionally to drive innovation and transformation in a highly complex environment.

At the Network Intelligence business unit, we develop advanced Network Intelligence solutions that harness AI, machine learning, big data analytics, and automation to transform massive volumes of communication network data into actionable intelligence for security organizations.

As a Cognyter you will: 

• Define and execute the product vision, strategy, and roadmap to drive business growth, market leadership, and customer value, ensuring alignment with company and business unit objectives.
• Lead, mentor, and develop high-performing teams across Product Management, Product Experts, and Product Marketing, fostering a collaborative, customer-focused, and results-driven culture.
• Own the business unit's performance, accountable for bookings, revenue, profitability, and customer satisfaction, while establishing and monitoring KPIs to measure success.
• Partner closely with engineering, design, architecture, sales, marketing, and operations to ensure seamless product development, robust cloud-based solutions, and effective go-to-market execution.
• Engage with customers and market stakeholders to identify needs, opportunities for differentiation and scalability, and to drive adoption of the company's solutions.
• Represent the product organization at the executive level, clearly communicating vision, priorities, and progress while ensuring alignment of product and sales strategies with corporate objectives.
• Lead and drive forward the ongoing transformation into a product portfolio organization, while shifting into a generic market and customer driven product approach.

For that mission, you'll need:

• 10+ years of experience in product management, including at least 5 years in a senior leadership role managing cross-functional teams (Product Management, Product Experts/Presales, and Product Marketing).
• Proven success in managing complex product portfolios and platform solutions, with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, networking, backend systems, and ideally telecommunications/RF domains.
• Demonstrated track record of achieving business growth and financial targets while driving innovation, scalability, and customer value.
• Inspirational leadership style with a passion for mentoring, motivating, and developing diverse, high-performing teams in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
• Outstanding communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across matrixed organizations and at executive levels.
• Strategic thinker with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, capable of managing multiple high-impact initiatives and aligning them with business objectives.
