Ping Identity is a company dedicated to creating secure and seamless digital experiences for users. They are seeking a Product Management Director to drive the product strategy and roadmap for their Just-in-time Privileged Access Management product, focusing on enterprise customers and integrating with broader identity management solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Own the end‑to‑end product strategy and multi‑year roadmap for PingOne Privilege, with a focus on global enterprise and regulated customers
• Define how PAM capabilities (e.g., credential and secrets vaulting, session management, just‑in‑time and just‑enough access, elevation and approvals, auditing and forensics) evolve to meet emerging threat, compliance, and operational needs
• Define how PAM integrates with Ping’s broader identity platform (SSO/MFA, IAM, IGA, directories, analytics) to deliver differentiated, end‑to‑end scenarios
• Define the PAM strategy for human, AI agents and Non human identities
• Engage directly with CISOs, developers, security architects, identity leaders, and operations teams to deeply understand enterprise threat models, workflows, and constraints
• Translate complex security and compliance requirements into clear, differentiated product use cases for both cloud and hybrid deployments
• Monitor the PAM, IAM, and IGA competitive landscape and adjacent markets (cloud infra, DevOps, ITSM, ITOM) to ensure Ping is a strategic differentiator
• Establish Ping’s leadership in Agentic AI and NHI markets
• Translate strategy into crisp product requirements, narratives, and user stories for multiple engineering teams; make thoughtful, data‑driven trade‑offs on scope and sequencing
• Partner with Engineering, Architecture, UX, and Data teams to balance security, scale, performance, and operability for enterprise deployments
• Drive complex cross‑functional initiatives that span multiple product areas and services, ensuring clear ownership, milestones, and communication
• Collaborate with Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success on positioning, packaging, and GTM plays for PAM‑centric solutions and bundles
• Support strategic deals, customer escalations, and roadmap reviews as the primary product voice for PAM, especially with large global accounts
• Define and track key success metrics (e.g., privileged account/session coverage, reduction in standing privileges, attach/expansion rates, time‑to‑value) and use them to drive iteration
• Act as a senior IC product leader, mentoring other PMs in adjacent identity areas (Access Management, IGA, Analytics) and raising the bar on security depth and enterprise product thinking
• Champion a culture of customer‑backed, data‑informed, experiment‑oriented decision‑making across the product organization

Requirements:

• 10+ years in product management for enterprise B2B software, with significant time in identity and access management
• Direct product ownership in Privileged Access Management (or closely related domains such as privileged session management, credential vaulting, PAMaaS, privileged remote access, CIEM) for large or regulated enterprises
• Demonstrated success defining and executing strategy for complex products spanning on‑prem, cloud, and hybrid environments
• Track record of leading cross‑functional initiatives without direct reports, aligning Engineering, Architecture, GTM, and Operations teams around common outcomes
• Strong understanding of privileged access concepts: least privilege, Zero Standing Privileges, just‑in‑time access, session monitoring and recording, approvals and workflows, secrets management, and audit/compliance needs
• Solid grounding in identity and security fundamentals, including authentication, authorization, policy models, directory services, and common enterprise infrastructure targets
• Deep knowledge of IaaS cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and developers tools and technologies including SSH, RDP, Kubernetes and Databases
• Exceptional problem‑structuring and analytical skills, comfortable working with both qualitative and quantitative data to inform decisions
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including experience presenting strategy and roadmap to executives and strategic customers
• Proven ability to decompose large initiatives into clear milestones, manage risk, and drive execution in agile environments
