Job Summary Job Description Join Palo Alto Networks IDIRA Product Management team in the exciting and rapidly emerging space of Agentic identity. AI agents act on behalf of users, other agents and themselves. They behave non-deterministically and chain permissions across systems, so they can't be governed like service accounts. As Principal PM for Secure Agent Identity, you will set the product vision for how agents are identified, authorized, monitored and controlled. You will then drive it through to the shipped product. There is no existing playbook for this domain, and you will help define the industry standard. What you will do - Define and own the multi-year vision and strategy for Secure Agent Identity, and translate it into a prioritized roadmap and measurable outcomes. - Lead the product direction for agent and NHI lifecycle, delegation (on-behalf-of vs. autonomous), runtime authorization and policy, and response (session revocation, kill switch, human approval). - Shape how the product works across the wider platform and the AI security portfolio, aligning with the owners of adjacent products. - Build deep market and competitor understanding. Use it to position the product, find differentiation, and influence standards and the analyst and customer community. - Work directly with customers and design partners to turn real needs into product bets. - Lead outbound as well as inbound: pricing and packaging, launch, enablement of field and sales engineers, and win/loss learning. - Influence without formal authority across Research, Engineering, Design, Marketing and executive leadership. Set the bar for product craft and mentor other PMs. - Work AI-natively: prototype, analyze and validate quickly with AI tools. - Move fast and iterate—this domain is evolving rapidly, so you’ll need to research, validate, and execute quickly, adapting to new requirements and opportunities as they arise. - Prioritize high-impact deliveries that address urgent market demand. Qualifications - 8+ years in product management, with a track record of owning complex products end to end. - Hands-on knowledge and experience in IAM, NHI and AI agents (for example OAuth/OIDC, workload identity, secrets and credential management, agent protocols). - Proven strategic and vision experience. You have set a vision, turned it into a plan, and executed it to deliver outcomes. - Proven technical skills and self-learning ability, capable of thoroughly understanding the functional and technical aspects of a complex system - Strong technical depth, with credibility with senior engineers and security architects. - Executive-level communication and the ability to challenge constraints, push back, and drive decisions. - Excellent written and verbal communication and presentation skills (mainly in English) - Experience taking a new category or product from zero to market -– an advantage - BSc in computer-science/engineering, or 2-4 years hands-on experience in software development – an advantage Our Commitment We’re trailblazers that dream big, take risks, and challenge cybersecurity’s status quo.
