Your Career

As a Senior Director of Product Management, Threat Intelligence, you will play a pivotal role in advancing the mission of Unit 42—Palo Alto Networks’ world-class threat intelligence and security services team. 

In this role, you will work side by side with the Unit 42 Threat Intel leadership team to help define and execute a product strategy for how Unit 42 intelligence powers both our product platform and the services we deliver directly to customers. You’ll drive initiatives that bring actionable insights from real-world investigations into our products, while also shaping the roadmap for Unit 42-led offerings that position us as the trusted partner for global security teams. 

This role calls for a strategic leader with strong domain expertise in the evolving threat landscape and a proven ability to collaborate across research, engineering, and go-to-market teams.

Your Impact

You will work closely with other leaders and experts across Unit 42 to help define and drive the product vision for how Unit 42 threat intelligence—sourced from global research teams, frontline incident response to advanced threats and cybercrime, partnerships with government and industry, and Palo Alto Networks’ proprietary telemetry—delivers value across both our security platform and customer-facing services. 

Your role is critical in aligning intelligence-driven insights with product and service strategy: working cross-functionally to ensure that adversary TTPs, threat actor trends, and emerging attack patterns directly inform the capabilities we bring to market. You’ll partner closely with product management, threat researchers, and field teams to shape offerings that empower customers—whether through integrated product features or through Unit 42-delivered services—to stay ahead of evolving threats and strengthen their security operations.

Responsibilities:

• Help define and drive product vision, strategy, and roadmap for leveraging Unit 42 threat intelligence across both Palo Alto Networks' product portfolio and Unit 42-delivered customer services
• Help build and scale Unit 42-delivered threat services such as dark web monitoring, ask-an-analyst, malware analysis, and other high-value offerings—available as part of the Unit 42 retainer model
• Partner closely with Unit 42 threat researchers, consultants, and malware analysts to identify emerging threats, adversary tactics, and operational pain points that can be translated into product and service capabilities
• Collaborate with product management teams across Cortex, NGFW, Prisma, and other business units to ensure threat intelligence is effectively integrated into product workflows, detection content, and automation
• Work directly with engineering teams to prioritize product requirements based on threat research needs, including access to global telemetry and scalable search capabilities that accelerate analyst workflows
• Represent
