The role involves bringing together multiple teams and related product areas to create a cohesive, scalable member experience for deeply technical enterprise customers.
This is a highly cross-functional position requiring independent operation in a fast-moving security environment.

Define the product strategy, roadmap, and priorities for the member experience, from intake and validation through status visibility and remediation.
Represent Athena internally and with customers on scope, capabilities, and direction, and educate customer-facing teams.
Identify systemic gaps across the member workflow, convert recurring feedback into clear problem statements, and maintain a prioritized backlog.
Align roadmaps and ownership across Engineering, remediation, Documentation, Customer Success, and other partners.
Work with Engineering on data validation, workflow routing, entitlements, access controls, and reliability.
Partner with remediation on patch delivery, including disclosure readiness, SBOMs and provenance, breaking changes, and capacity tradeoffs.
Define and report member-experience metrics including submission volume, coverage, time to patch, status visibility, and feed adoption.
Raise customer, delivery, and business risks early, particularly around disclosure cycles.
Serve as a trusted partner and mentor to product peers.

5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of a technical B2B product serving enterprise customers in regulated industries.
Working fluency in software supply chain security, including CVEs, OSV, VEX, SBOMs, provenance, and vulnerability disclosure.
Experience leading complex initiatives across multiple engineering and business teams without relying on direct authority.
Strong judgment when balancing customer urgency, disclosure timelines, technical constraints, and broader business priorities.
Comfort operating with high independence across multiple related problem spaces in a fast-moving environment with shifting priorities.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust with technical teams, customer-facing partners, executives, and enterprise customers.
