Job Summary

We are looking for a Product Owner to own a domain of our technical sales experience end to end from unmet field need to adopted value-generating capability.

This is not a traditional Product Manager role. We arent looking for someone to groom a backlog and count features shipped. We want a domain authority who owns an outcome: did the capabilities their domain produces actually get adopted by the global Solutions Engineering (SE) field and did they make those sellers measurably more effective

You will own the what and the why for your domain translating raw field signals into prioritized PRDs. And you will own adoption: the rollout enablement and feedback loop that turns a shipped capability into real field impact. You will not manage the engineers who build it; you drive the build through the clarity of your specifications and through influence partnering with a technical counterpart who owns the how.

Success is measured not by features shipped but by the effectiveness efficiency and consistency your domain brings to technical sales teams worldwide.

• Own the canonical understanding of what the global SE force actually needs in your domain across PoV toolkits lab scenarios demo flows discovery workflows and field utilities.
• Practice AI-Centric Discovery: use conversational AI agents to capture raw field signal and structure it into shippable specs at the same velocity as your engineering counterparts ship code.
• Run continuous user research interviews observation design partnerships with working SEs and validate every workflow against real-world selling motions.

• Set and maintain a multi-quarter vision and roadmap for your domain aligned to business priorities and field truth (not to what is easiest to build).
• Prioritize and specify the capabilities your domain delivers for example: discovery workflows use-case recommendations demo orchestration knowledge retrieval opportunity blueprints asset generation evaluations agent-to-agent workflows and institutional-memory repositories.
• Produce engineering-ready PRDs and hand them to your technical counterpart. Hold the strategic line on what is worth building you can defend a no as confidently as a yes.

• Own the rollout enablement and feedback loop for your domains capabilities. You are accountable for getting SEs to actually adopt them not merely for shipping them.
• Close the loop from field-need capability measured value: instrument adoption gather field feedback and feed it into the next cycle.

• Partner closely with the technical side (Outcome Architects and Engineering) who own the how.
• Translate business objectives into prioritized initiatives; balance short-term field wins against long-term platform investment. When a technical constraint reshapes scope absorb it into the spec dont route around it.

• Act as the primary advocate for Solutions Engineers across Sales Solutions Engineering Enablement Operations and Leadership.
• Drive alignment on what your domain builds and why it matters influencing without direct authority.

You will define and be held to outcome metrics for your domain including:

• Platform adoption and active users
• Asset reuse and content-contribution rates
• Reduction in SE preparation time
• Discovery-quality improvements
• Demo consistency
• User satisfaction
• Pipeline influence and sales-productivity impact

• The Domain Authority deep practitioner-level expertise in your CyberArk domain (PAM Secrets Management Cloud Security Privileged Access Identity). You dont just know what these are; you understand how they get deployed demoed and adopted in real customer environments.
• The Outcome Owner you measure yourself on adoption and field value not on features shipped. You own the result end to end and you can drive it through influence without direct authority over the engineers who build.
• The AI-Augmented Discoverer you treat conversational AI agents as your primary discovery and specification interface structuring field chaos into shippable specs at 10x speed.
• Outcome Fluent you choose what to build based on field truth and strategic impact not on what is loudest or easiest.
• SE-Native you have hands-on Sales/Field Engineering experience. Youve demoed to customers run PoVs and felt the friction of broken lab environments firsthand. You speak SE.
• Spec Orchestrator you translate Slack threads demo failures customer asks and sales-call notes into the structured PRDs your technical counterpart executes against. A great spec ships; a bad one stalls.
• Adaptable and Fast you thrive where requirements shift rapidly and the vibe of the solution matters as much as the logic.
• Bonus Points
• Product-management experience or a track record building out an internal product / platform portfolio at a peer security or SaaS company.
• Familiarity with agentic AI systems orchestration frameworks RAG architectures or LLM-based applications.
• Experience with sales-productivity platforms Gong Salesforce Highspot Storylane or similar.
• Background in Solutions/Sales Engineering Technical Marketing or Revenue Operations.
• A track record of holding the what to build line as a peer to senior engineering in highly technical conversations.

By the end of your first year you will have:

• Established a clear vision and roadmap for your domain of AI-enabled technical sales experiences.
• Delivered measurable improvements in the productivity and effectiveness of the SEs your domain serves.
• Driven adoption and trust in the AI-powered workflows your domain ships.
• Built strong partnerships across Sales Engineering Enablement and Leadership.
• Positioned the organization to scale technical expertise through intelligent reusable systems.
