Come work at a place where innovation and teamwork come together to support the most exciting missions in the world! Senior Director, Product Management – Autonomous Remediation Platform (Autonomous RemOps) About the Role Location: Foster City, CA, USA 3-days’ work from office Organization: Product GTM & SME Reports To: SVP of Product Management Qualys is redefining cybersecurity operations through the Enterprise TruRisk Platform and the industry's first AI-Native Risk Operations Center (ROC). We are seeking a visionary Senior Director of Product Management to lead the evolution of TruRisk Eliminate into the market's leading Autonomous Remediation Operations (RemOps) Platform. This leader will define and execute the strategy for Agentic AI-powered cyber risk reduction, transforming remediation from a manual, ticket-driven process into an autonomous, intelligent, and measurable business workflow. You will own the vision, roadmap, and execution for a Next-Gen Autonomous RemOps platform that orchestrates risk elimination across vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, cloud exposures, application risks, identity risks, and emerging AI risks. Working across Product, Engineering, Data Science, AI, Design, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success, you will build the category-defining platform that enables enterprises to move from "finding risk" to "proving risk reduction." Qualys' ETM platform already positions itself as an AI-powered Risk Operations Center with Agentic AI capabilities; this role will define the execution system that closes the loop. Mission Build the industry's first Autonomous RemOps Platform that enables enterprises to: Discover remediation opportunities Prioritize based on business risk Generate optimal remediation plans Execute fixes autonomously Coordinate cross-functional teams Validate outcomes Measure and prove cyber risk reduction Why This Role Matters This is not a traditional PM leadership role. This leader will define the future of cyber risk reduction. Most security vendors stop at visibility. Some stop at prioritization. Very few can execute remediation. The mission of this role is to build the platform that autonomously eliminates cyber risk at enterprise scale and positions Qualys as the leader in the emerging Autonomous RemOps category—creating a natural evolution from VMDR to ETM to a fully autonomous Risk Operations Center. "Autonomous RemOps (Remediation Operations): The system of record and system of action for enterprise cyber risk reduction." That category has the potential to be materially larger than traditional vulnerability management because it spans IT Operations, SecOps, CloudOps, DevOps, IAM, and AI Security rather than just vulnerability scanning. What You Will Own Product Vision & Strategy - Define the long-term vision for: Autonomous Remediation Operations Move beyond vulnerability remediation into: Exposure remediation Cloud remediation Application remediation Identity remediation AI risk remediation Third-party risk remediation Agentic AI Workforce Build AI agents that perform: Remediation planning Root cause analysis Risk-to-fix mapping Change orchestration Ticket generation Approval routing Execution monitoring Validation and rollback Enterprise Risk-to-Action Platform Create a system where: Risk Identified → Remediation Planned → Fix Executed → Risk Eliminated → Business Impact Measured without requiring manual coordination across dozens of teams. Platform Leadership Lead strategy across: TruRisk Eliminate Expand beyond: Patch Management Mitigation Isolation toward: Autonomous remediation Workflow orchestration AI-assisted execution Cross-tool automation Remediation Orchestration Fabric Build integrations with various ITSM, CMDB, EPP, EDR, CI/CD and Identity ecosystems tools Risk Reduction Analytics Create executive dashboards that answer: How much risk was reduced? Which actions delivered the highest impact? Which teams create remediation bottlenecks? What is the predicted future risk posture? Agentic AI Innovation Partner with AI and Engineering teams to create: Remediation Planning Agent Determines: Best remediation option Patch vs mitigation vs isolation Business impact Change risk Execution Agent Autonomously performs: Configuration changes Patch deployment Script execution Cloud remediation actions within approved guardrails. Verification Agent Confirms: Vulnerability closed Exposure eliminated Business services unaffected Compliance maintained Optimization Agent Continuously learns: Which fixes succeed Which teams delay execution Which workflows reduce MTTR Recent industry research increasingly points toward autonomous discovery-to-remediation workflows governed by strong oversight, validation, and trust frameworks, which aligns with where enterprise security operations are heading.
