How We Work:

At Proofpoint you’ll be part of a global team that breaks barriers to redefine cybersecurity guided by our BRAVE core values: 

Bold in how we dream and innovate Responsive to feedback, challenges and opportunities Accountable for results and best in class outcomes Visionary in future focused problem-solving Exceptional in execution and impact Satori is Proofpoint's agentic AI   business ,a   startup   operating   inside a larger,   established   company. We build agents that automate the high-volume, repetitive security work customers do by hand today, and we monetize that work through a consumption model. Our scope is the full agentic stack: Agent Foundry (no-/low-code building of agents), Agent Harness (the runtime that hosts and executes them), MCP Access (a governed, metered product that   lets third-party agents and systems reach Proofpoint data and APIs), the Consumption Ledger (the metering and monetization fabric underneath everything), and Mission Control (the customer-facing plane where agents are managed and governed). The agents themselves — the missions span both Collaboration Security and Data Security.  

Reporting to our new SVP of Product Marketing within our Threat Protection Organization (TGP), We are looking for a VP of Product Management to run Satori as a business.  

This is a   business-owner role, not only   a R &D-roadmap role.  

Proofpoint expects its product leaders to own outcomes, not output. At   Satori   that bar is explicit: you will carry a direct, multi-year revenue commitment that scales aggressively. You own the strategy, the product, the go-to-market, and the number.  

This is a rare scope for a product   leader   and it asks for a true product leader, not a roadmap manager. Three things define it:  

• You own the number, and you achieve it through influence. Most of the monetizable   value will come from agents the BUs build on your platform which means your leverage is strategy, clear standards, and a platform good enough that BU teams choose to build on it. You will drive results across teams you   don't   manage.  

• You own   go -to-market. With a dedicated Product Marketing Manager as your partner,   you'll   shape the full motion: evangelism, Ideal Customer Profile definition, POC design and execution, customer training and education, field enablement, and pricing including quote and deal   review. The viability of the business is yours to prove and   to build   on.  

• You own a platform and a product line. The shared platform (Mission Control, Foundry, Harness, the Ledger, and the supervision/monetization standards) serves both BUs. On top of that, MCP Access is a product you ship and monetize directly.  

What   you'll   own  

The Satori business .    Revenue, the consumption/credits model, packaging, pricing, and   the visibility   into usage, value, price, and cost that lets us defend and expand it.  

Product   strategy for the Satori platform Mission Control, Agent Foundry, Agent Harness, MCP Access, and the Consumption Ledger including the shared standards (supervision patterns, monetization hooks, instrumentation, auditability, identity/access abstractions) that let BU teams build quality missions consistently, without a shadow BU forming.  

MCP Access as a product   line   the governed, metered   way third-party   agents and systems consume Proofpoint data and APIs.  

Go-to-market,   end to end   evangelism, ICP, POCs,   enablement, training, pricing, and quote review until Satori earns dedicated GTM investment.  

The operating model in practice making the steering committee, the ring-fenced BU mission teams, and charter-based cross-BU governance   actually produce   shipped value (see the Satori operating model).  

People hiring and coaching the Satori PM(s) who report to   you, and   building an empowered product team that thinks in outcomes.  

What   you'll   do  

-Set and communicate a product strategy sharp enough that 1,350 engineers   you   don't   manage choose to build on your platform.  

- Run continuous discovery with customers, the field, and internal builders (BU R&D, sales engineering, support, threat research) to find the shared problems worth solving.  

- Run the GTM motion yourself: define who Satori is for, prove value in POCs, train customers and the field, and own pricing and deal economics.  

-   Operate   the cross-BU model steering committee, co-signed reviews, decision log to resolve conflict quickly and keep mission teams ring-fenced   and moving.  

- Build governance into the platform as a first-class concern: guardrails, explainability, auditability, supervision pathways, and behavior-change controls.  

- Hire, coach, and hold the bar for your PM team; use AI fluently and work natively in a Git-based, AI-first product practice.  

What   we're   looking for  

- A product leader who has carried   a business   revenue, pricing, and GTM — not only   a roadmap   and   a delivery   org.   

-   Demonstrated   ability to drive outcomes across teams you   don't   control, in   ambiguous, fast-moving, politically complex environments.  

- Strong platform and product-line experience: APIs, identity/access, monetization, or infrastructure — with the judgment to   prioritize around   outcomes over activity.  

- Real GTM range: evangelism, ICP, POCs, enablement, packaging and pricing, and deal review.  

- Credibility with eng
