Company mission
Expel is on a mission to make security easy to understand, easy to use, and easy to continuously improve.
Role
Who you are
- You live at the intersection of security and product management — and there's no place you'd rather be
- You understand that integrations aren't just plumbing. They're the connective tissue that makes security operations actually work — and if they don’t pass the quality test, everything downstream suffers
- You're not intimidated by the sprawling landscape of security tools and cloud platforms out there. Quite the opposite: you pride yourself on knowing how they fit together, where the gaps are, and what it actually takes to make them work in a customer's environment
- You’ve got an informed opinion about what an MDR should detect, an opinion that comes from customer empathy, hands-on industry knowledge, and a set of experiences that didn’t always go as planned
- You can hold a technical conversation with a SOC analyst and turn around and explain the same thing to a Sales team in plain English. You've been waiting for a role where that combination of skills actually matters
- A curious, customer-obsessed mindset — you're comfortable asking "why" until you get to the real problem
- 2–4 years of experience in product management or a directly relevant role, with experience in the security industry strongly preferred
- Familiarity with product management and software engineering processes, from requirements definition through to launch
- Familiarity with security tools — EDR, SIEM, and firewall products — and how they fit into a customer's security stack
- Broad knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and where security risks emerge in those environments
- Experience with SIEM technologies is highly desired — bonus points if you've navigated integration or data pipeline challenges firsthand
- Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can write a crisp user story and present to a customer in the same afternoon
- The ability to build trust across Engineering, Security Operations, Sales, Customer Success, and UX
What the job involves
- This role isn't for all PMs. Yes, all the standard PM things apply — plan, prioritize, communicate, and own a roadmap, build relationships, and become the authority on how customers use your product
- But in this role, you'll bring your security experience to bear on one of the most foundational parts of Expel's platform. If you get your energy from keeping a pulse on the security tool landscape and translating that knowledge into a roadmap that makes customers safer, you'll thrive here
- Own the end-to-end lifecycle of Expel's integrations, from defining the six- month vision to driving execution with Engineering and UX
- Establish relationships with customers and use their input — alongside market and competitive signals — to build and prioritize a roadmap that maximizes impact
- Be the voice of your features: clearly articulating value to Sales, Customer Success, and internal stakeholders
- Collaborate with Product Marketing to effectively communicate the value of integrations internally and externally
Our take
As ransomware and hacking threats rise, identifying and resolving breaches in security must be done quickly. Lack of transparency in cybersecurity makes it difficult for engineers to detect, understand, and fix the issues as fast as possible. Expel is aiming to redefine what a security operations centre and managed detection service look like in the modern age.
Though the company faces competition from the vast number of cybersecurity platforms, Expel positions itself as a viable alternative to the service delivery model of managed security service providers (MSSPs) by offering a comprehensive management platform that connects to its customers’ tech remotely through APIs, providing fast detection and clear solutions.
Having reached unicorn status, the company is establishing a stronger presence in the European and Asia-Pacific markets, capturing business in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore. Its 2022 funding is being used to accelerate sustainable growth, continue the company's international expansion, and push forward with go-to-market initiatives.
