- Solid grounding in identity and security fundamentals, including authentication, authorization, policy models, directory services, and common enterprise infrastructure targets
- Deep knowledge of IaaS cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and developers tools and technologies including SSH, RDP, Kubernetes and Databases
- Additional experience in IAM and IGA (SSO/MFA, federation, lifecycle provisioning, access requests, certifications, SoD) is a significant plus

- Excellent written and verbal communication, including experience presenting strategy and roadmap to executives and strategic customers

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Product Management Director to drive the product strategy and roadmap for PingOne Privilege, our Just-in-time next-gen Privileged Access Management (PAM) product focused on our enterprise customers
- This senior individual contributor role sits in our Product organization and will be central to how Ping secures and protects sensitive privileged access to high‑value accounts, infrastructure, and applications across hybrid and multi‑cloud environments for human, machine and Agentic access
- You will shape how PingOne Privilege integrates with our broader Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) offerings to deliver cohesive Zero Trust journeys for customers
- Own the end‑to‑end product strategy and multi‑year roadmap for PingOne Privilege, with a focus on global enterprise and regulated customers
- Define how PAM capabilities (e.g., credential and secrets vaulting, session management, just‑in‑time and just‑enough access, elevation and approvals, auditing and forensics) evolve to meet emerging threat, compliance, and operational needs
- Define how PAM integrates with Ping’s broader identity platform (SSO/MFA, IAM, IGA, directories, analytics) to deliver differentiated, end‑to‑end scenarios
- Define the PAM strategy for human, AI agents and Non human identities
- Engage directly with CISOs, developers, security architects, identity leaders, and operations teams to deeply understand enterprise threat models, workflows, and constraints
- Translate complex security and compliance requirements into clear, differentiated product use cases for both cloud and hybrid deployments
- Monitor the PAM, IAM, and IGA competitive landscape and adjacent markets (cloud infra, DevOps, ITSM, ITOM) to ensure Ping is a strategic differentiator
- Establish Ping’s leadership in Agentic AI and NHI markets
- Translate strategy into crisp product requirements, narratives, and user stories for multiple engineering teams; make thoughtful, data‑driven trade‑offs on scope and sequencing
- Partner with Engineering, Architecture, UX, and Data teams to balance security, scale, performance, and operability for enterprise deployments
- Drive complex cross‑functional initiatives that span multiple product areas and services, ensuring clear ownership, milestones, and communication
- Collaborate with Product Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success on positioning, packaging, and GTM plays for PAM‑centric solutions and bundles
- Support strategic deals, customer escalations, and roadmap reviews as the primary product voice for PAM, especially with large global accounts
- Define and track key success metrics (e.g., privileged account/session coverage, reduction in standing privileges, attach/expansion rates, time‑to‑value) and use them to drive iteration
- Act as a senior IC product leader, mentoring other PMs in adjacent identity areas (Access Management, IGA, Analytics) and raising the bar on security depth and enterprise product thinking
- Champion a culture of customer‑backed, data‑informed, experiment‑oriented decision‑making across the product organization
Our take
Ping Identity is a platform, delivered through both cloud services and on-premises software, providing a comprehensive Identity and Access Management service. In today’s highly connected digital world, digital identity management services — the process of identifying and authenticating users on networks to access services — has become a key aspect of interacting on the internet.
According to the latest forecasts, the digital identity market is worth approximately $60 billion in 2025, with annual growth rates ranging from 16 to 21%, depending on the source. Consequently, competition is heavy for PingIdentity, with some other strong players in the various branches of identity management, including Okta, LastPass, and Duo Security. The merger between PingIdentity and ForgeRock in 2023 went some way to consolidating a firm rooting in the industry for both companies.
Now combined with Forgerock, PingIdentity has successfully attracted considerable funding and serves hundreds of brands, including Morningstar, Vodafone, and GEICO, as well as the governments of Norway, Canada, and Belgium. Alongside this, both companies were acquired by the leading software investment firm, Thoma Bravo, in 2022 before the merger. This acquisition offered a unique opportunity for PingIdentity to further grow and marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the combined company and its customers.
