We are now ready to take MFT to the next level and win against established MFT vendors. As a member of OPSWAT's product leadership team, you will help set company-level product strategy, influence investment decisions across the portfolio, and be accountable for the business performance of MFT. This Senior Director role is a rare opportunity to shape the future of MFT, including a next-generation MFT Gateway and a lightweight automation offering, while scaling commercial impact and deepening customer value. You will operate at the intersection of product strategy, engineering execution, and go-to-market success, with clear ownership and visible impact. It is also a chance to redefine what product management looks like in the AI era. We are not looking for someone who talks about AI. We want a leader who already uses it every day to work faster and smarter, and who can build a team of PMs that does the same. If you are energized by building, innovating, and owning outcomes, this role was designed for you. What You Will Be Doing As Senior Director of Product Management, MFT, you will be the executive owner of MFT's product strategy, business performance, and growth trajectory. You will: Set and own the MFT product vision and roadmap, including the MFT Gateway, automation, and AI-driven capabilities. Translate market signals, customer needs, and competitive insights into clear product direction and prioritized investments. Drive MFT's position in regulated and high-assurance markets (e.g., GxP, financial services, federal, OT), including compliance, audit, and integrity requirements. Partner deeply with Engineering, ensuring fast, high-quality execution and scalable architecture. Work closely with Sales, Sales Engineering, and Marketing to drive bookings, pipeline, competitive displacements, and customer adoption. Serve as a strong, visible product leader across regions, with close partnership with our engineering team in Hungary and Romania. Balance innovation with operational excellence, ensuring MFT delivers reliability, performance, and trust at scale. Own MFT business results, including revenue, pricing, packaging, and investment priorities. Shape company-level product strategy as part of the product leadership team, presenting to the CEO and executive team. Represent MFT as its executive voice with strategic customers, partners, analysts, and at industry events. Build an AI-Native Product Function You will set the standard for how product management works at OPSWAT, using AI as a core part of how the team operates: Use AI to compress the path from customer signal to shipped feature: synthesizing customer calls, support tickets, win/loss data, and competitive intel into clear insights in hours, not weeks. Use AI tools to draft PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and release notes, freeing PMs to spend more time with customers and engineers. Prototype workflows and UI concepts with AI to validate ideas with customers before engineering commits. Build AI-assisted competitive and market analysis so the team always knows where MFT wins and why. Identify where AI belongs inside the product itself, from intelligent automation and anomaly detection to policy recommendations and natural-language administration. Define practical guardrails for using AI safely in a security company, protecting customer data and IP. Grow and Lead a Team of PMs You will build and develop a high-performing product team as MFT grows: Hire, coach, and grow product managers across regions, raising the bar on product judgment, customer empathy, and execution. Create a clear career path and a culture of ownership, where PMs own outcomes, not just backlogs. Establish lightweight, repeatable product processes for discovery, prioritization, and launch that scale with the business. Make every PM on the team AI-fluent through hands-on enablement, shared playbooks, and leading by example.Develop future product leaders who can take on new product lines as OPSWAT grows. What Success Looks Like In your first 12-18 months, success will look like: A clear, compelling MFT roadmap aligned to market demand and customer value. Measurable growth in bookings and pipeline tied directly to product strategy. Competitive wins displacing legacy MFT solutions in strategic accounts. Strong, trust-based partnerships with Engineering and GTM teams. Delivery of the MFT Gateway and automation offerings that position MFT for long-term growth.
