Company Background

ThreatConnect enables threat intelligence, security operations, and cyber risk management teams to work together for more effective, efficient, and collaborative cyber defense. With ThreatConnect, organizations can infuse ML and AI-powered threat intel and cyber risk quantification into their work, allowing them to contextualize an evolving threat landscape, prioritize the most significant risks to their business, and operationalize defenses.  More than 250 enterprises and thousands of security operations professionals rely on ThreatConnect every day to protect their organizations’ most critical assets.

Our Mission

The product management team’s mission is to help our users do their jobs better with lovable, essential products. We relentlessly pursue a deep understanding of user problems to inspire ThreatConnect and our users with a clear, compelling, and cohesive product vision.

Our Team

The team itself is organized around two key user personas: 1) Threat Intelligence Producers and 2) Threat Intelligence Consumers. The needs of each persona are addressed by a Principal Product Manager, who handles core platform and strategic initiatives.  These two personas are supported in parallel by our Integrations and Data Analytics product managers, who are responsible for ensuring that each persona can quickly get value out of the platform with end-to-end use cases and industry-leading data analytics.

Each of our product managers is supported by business analysts who assist them with producing software requirements that ensure our engineering teams build high-value, testable software.

Acting as a bridge between product management and engineering, business analysts are an essential role. You will be responsible for uncovering and unpacking software requirements for our industry-leading cybersecurity innovations and communicating them comprehensively and effectively to our engineering teams.

You will make the world a safer place by ensuring that our software is complete, testable, and valuable for some of the world’s largest companies. You will also assist our product managers in making sound, data-driven decisions.
