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’re energized by problem solving, and you’re excited by the idea of making an attacker’s job more difficult
- You have a strong grasp of tactics attackers use to gain initial access to their targets, and you have empathy for the SOC analysts who are on the front lines
- You pride yourself on driving efficiency – through analytics, automation, and user experience – to make defenders’ jobs easier so that they can quickly and effectively identify and block email-based attacks
- A curious, tenacious, and discerning mentality
- Strong communication skills to effectively communicate across the organization, knowing when to adjust your style based on your audience
- Familiarity with product management and software engineering processes, from defining and prioritizing requirements through to software deployment and product launches
- Attention to detail to ensure that cross-functional development teams have thorough requirements with clear delivery milestones
- Understanding of fundamental SaaS business metrics (Annual Recurring Revenue, Net Revenue Retention, Gross Margin, Net Sales Efficiency) and ways to influence each one
- Strong understanding of information security, security technologies, products and services
- Ability to build trust and appreciation with individual contributors and leaders across product management, engineering, security operations, business systems, sales, customer success, and technical support
What the job involves
- As an MDR Services PM responsible for Managed Phishing, you are responsible for Expel’s end-to-end managed email security solutions
- You own Expel’s Point of View on what a compelling, differentiated, and profitable solution looks like, and you believe the buck stops with you
- You drive our email security strategy, and through effective communication and project leadership, you ensure that cross-functional teams are aligned on our mission and rowing in the same direction
- You understand that even the best planned projects occasionally have “known unknown” surprises, but your attention to detail means we catch these quickly
- In these scenarios, your strong collaboration, leadership, and communication skills enable us to rapidly adapt to keep the project on track and keep stakeholders aligned
- This role reports to the Director of Product Management for Expel’s MDR offering
- Take ownership of the vision and roadmaps for our managed email security offerings
- Contribute to running a cross-functional team (Product Management, Detection Strategy, UX, Engineering, Sales)
- Establish relationships with customers and use their input to distill the many requests into a roadmap that achieves maximum impact
- Balance a PM’s responsibility for both short term and long term results
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.
