Head of Product

Stairwell is redefining how defenders find and understand threats, not by scaling alerts, but by changing the mindset: from logs to files, from data to knowledge, from reaction to certainty.

We’re building a platform that continuously analyzes every executable, across all time, to detect threats others miss… even the unknown. We’ve built the infrastructure to support that vision. Now we need a Head of Product who can define product strategy to match where the market is at. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows the security landscape - users, vendors and service providers - inside and out, knows how to incorporate the voice of the customer into product plans, and can drive sharp, confident decision-making across complexity. You’ll work directly with the CTO, Engineering, Product Marketing, and Sales Engineering to build what matters and make sure the world knows why it matters.

What You’ll Own

Strategy & Roadmap

• Own the roadmap across the core platform, workflows, integrations, and GTM enablement.
• Balance short-term product acceleration with long-term vision and defensibility.
• Drive alignment across functions. Make sure every team knows what we’re building, why, and how it moves the mission forward.

Customer & Market Insight

• Build tight feedback loops with customers, Sales Engineering, Marketing, and Support.
• Extract signal from customer asks, field noise, and roadmap chaos and turn it into clear priorities.
• Serve as the internal voice of the market. Help the team understand the “why,” not just the “what.”

Execution & Alignment

• Work closely with Engineering to scope, prioritize, and ship.
• Partner with Threat Research to translate detection logic, variant discovery, and adversary behaviors into high-leverage product bets.
• Work with Product Marketing to position what we build in a way that resonates with users, buyers, and analysts.

Category Thinking

• Represent the product externally with customers, partners, and analysts. Talk about it like a builder, not a buzzword machine.
• Help shape and sharpen how we define the category and how we win it.

What You Bring

Minimum Qualifications

• 7+ years of product management experience, including at least 3+ in security or infrastructure-focused products.
• Deep understanding of the modern detection and response ecosystem including TIPs, SIEM, SOAR, EDR, malware analysis, and how teams actually operate.
• You’ve owned roadmap and strategy before, not just scoped tickets. You’ve shipped products and driven impact.
• Strong communicator - structured, sharp, and credible with both engineers and executives.
• Ability to move fast. You’re expected to arrive with a working model of the market, not spend two months getting up to speed.

Preferred Experience

• Hands-on experience with malware analysis workflows, detection engineering, or SOC tooling.
• Background in product marketing, analyst relations, or category positioning is a plus.
• Familiarity with how threat intel, IR, and SOC workflows intersect — and how to simplify them with software.
• Experience with API platforms, integrations, or infrastructure products aimed at highly technical users.
• Bonus points if you understand how SIGINT-style systems work.
