The Product Manager drives the strategy, discovery, and delivery of Sophos Workspace Protection, a Security Service Edge (SSE) solution. You will partner closely with engineering, design, sales, and customer success to build solutions that protect organizations as they embrace cloud-first and hybrid work environments. This Product Manager role owns the full product lifecycle, including identifying market opportunities and defining strategy through launch, adoption, and scaling. The primary focus of SSE capabilities will be Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), the Sophos Protected Browser, and, to a lesser degree, the Sophos SD-RED devices. You'll operate at the intersection of security domain expertise, customer insight, and technical execution, with a global scope that includes regular collaboration with regional teams and periodic international travel. What makes this role unique is the combination of breadth and depth: you'll shape product direction in one of the fastest-evolving segments of cybersecurity, working across every function of the business.
