Job Title: Sr. Go To Market Program Manager

Department: Go To Market/ Revenue/ Customer Success Operations

Works with: Product Management, Marketing, Sales, CS, PS, TS, IT, Finance, Channel

Role Summary: The DSPM GTM Program Manager is the “connective tissue” and execution engine for the latest addition to the Forcepoint portfolio - Data Security Posture management. DSPM go-to-market programs will drive alignment, remove friction across functions, and ensure measurable outcomes from strategy through launch and post-launch execution. This role operates with executive presence, a senior-level systems view (linking problems end-to-end across Product → GTM → Delivery → Outcomes), and a propensity for action—translating ambiguity into a plan, then driving it to closure

A core expectation is the ability to pull and synthesize data via modern tooling (e.g., using AI assistants such as Anthropic Claude and scripts/automation) to produce executive-ready insights, automate recurring reporting, and support high-tempo decisioning for senior leadership and the C-suite.

This role exists to own the operating cadence and program mechanics to help ensure we:

• Position DSPM with a clear, differentiated POV and enable targeted wins (including analyst/market confidence building)

• Arm the field with repeatable playbooks and remove onboarding / adoption friction that slows execution

• Improve deployment outcomes and time-to-first-value (TTFV) via standardized programs, cross-functional readiness, and measurable success plans

• Instrument the business with clean signals (pipeline, adoption, delivery health, risk) and translate them into executive insights and action

Key Responsibilities

1) Own DSPM GTM Program Execution (Quarterback Role)

• Build and run integrated GTM program plans spanning Product, PMM, Sales, SE, CS, PS, Support, IT, Finance, Channels—ensuring clear milestones, owners, dependencies, and delivery against business goals

• Drive an operating cadence: weekly execution reviews, risk/issue management, decision logs, and escalation paths to keep programs on track

• Identify “processes ripe for improvement,” initiate cross-functional projects, and drive them to closure (systems, comms, analytics synchronization, adoption)

2) Cross-Functional Problem Linking (Senior Systems Thinking)

• Diagnose bottlenecks end-to-end (example: product readiness → enablement gaps → POC friction → onboarding delays → support escalations) and coordinate fixes across teams

• Serve as a senior-level integrator when cross-functional misalignment blocks momentum—driving clarity, tradeoffs, and decisions.

3) Data, Insights, and Executive Reporting (Automation-First)

• Create and maintain a DSPM “single source of truth”: KPI definitions, dashboards, operating metrics, and a repeatable executive reporting package.

• Use AI assistants (e.g., Anthropic Claude) and automation to pull data, summarize trends, draft executive-ready narratives, and streamline recurring deliverables (QBR inputs, board updates, risk readouts)

• Translate complex data into concise, action-oriented readouts for leadership; recommend corrective actions and drive follow-through.

4) Field Readiness + Playbooks + Launch Discipline

• Partner with GTM leaders to ensure field confidence and readiness (plays, messaging alignment, enablement content, and execution rigor)

• Coordinate launch readiness activities and cross-functional checklists (comms plan, support readiness, lifecycle plan),
