Vice President, Product Management – Exposure Command & Vulnerability Management

Rapid7 is looking for an experienced and visionary leader to join our Product team as Vice President, Product Management for our Exposure Command and Vulnerability Management product suite. In this role, you will set the strategic direction for Rapid7's flagship exposure and vulnerability management platform, driving the products that help thousands of security teams around the world identify, prioritize, and eliminate risk across their entire attack surface.

About the Team

The Product Management team at Rapid7 defines the future of cybersecurity by transforming complex security challenges into seamless, customer-centric cloud solutions that protect thousands of global enterprises. Our Exposure Command team sits at the center of Rapid7's mission — building the platform that brings together vulnerability management, attack surface management, cloud security, and application risk into a unified, actionable view of exposure.

About the Role

Reporting to the Chief Product & Technology Office, Vice President, Product Management for Exposure Command and Vulnerability Management, your primary responsibility will be to own and evolve the end-to-end product strategy, roadmap, and execution for Rapid7's core exposure management platform.

Specifically, your focus will be to:

• Partner with the Chief Product & Technology Officer and senior executive leadership to define and execute a multi-year product vision for Exposure Command, InsightVM, and adjacent vulnerability and attack surface management capabilities that positions Rapid7 as the definitive leader in the Gartner Exposure Assessment Platform category.

• Drive the evolution from point-in-time vulnerability management to continuous, risk-based exposure management — translating market trends such as CTEM (Continuous Threat Exposure Management), autonomous remediation, and AI-driven exposure validation into differentiated product capabilities.

• Lead cross-functional orchestration across engineering, UX design, data science, threat intelligence, and go-to-market teams to ship high-quality, customer-validated product releases on time and within scope.

• Own the product portfolio P&L lens — partnering with finance, sales, and marketing to define packaging, pricing, and competitive positioning that drives ARR growth and customer retention across the Exposure Command product line.

• Establish a robust customer engagement and feedback framework — including Customer Zero, advisory boards, and field validation loops — to ground product decisions in real-world security operations workflows and practitioner needs.

• Champion the platform integration strategy, ensuring Exposure Command's 500+ connectors, third-party data ingestion, and ecosystem partnerships deliver a seamless, unified experience that reduces tool sprawl for security teams.

• Define and track product-level OKRs and KPIs — including adoption, feature utilization, NPS, and risk reduction outcomes — to continuously measure and communicate the business impact of the product portfolio.

• Build, mentor, and scale a world-class product management organization, identifying senior leadership talent, establishing development paths, and fostering a culture of customer obsession, rigorous execution, and continuous learning.

• Serve as an external evangelist and thought leader for exposure management — representing Rapid7's product vision at industry conferences, with analysts (Gartner, Forrester, IDC), and in strategic customer and partner conversations.

The skills and qualities you'll bring include

• 15+ years  of progressive product management leadership experience, including direct ownership of complex cloud-native enterprise security or cybersecurity SaaS products at scale, with at least five years at the director or VP level.

• Deep domain expertise in vulnerability management, exposure management, attack surface management, or adjacent cybersecurity domains — with a clear point of view on where the market is heading and how to build a winning product against that trajectory.

• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous market and customer signals into a crisp, compelling product strategy, and to rally engineering, design, and GTM teams around a shared roadmap and set of priorities.

• Strong understanding of hybrid and cloud-native security architectures — including SaaS platforms, cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), CI/CD pipelines, and CNAPP/AppSec tooling — sufficient to engage deeply with both customers and engineering.

• Track record of driving measurable business outcomes: ARR growth, expansion within installed base, improved win rates, and category leadership recognition from analysts and customers alike.

• Exceptional executive communication skills — capable of presenting complex product strategy and technical tradeoffs in a clear, compelling narrative to C-suite, board, customers, and analysts.

• Strong cross-functional influence and collaboration skills, with a history of building alignment across engineering, sales, marketing, and customer success without direct authority.

• Experience building and scaling product management teams, with a coaching mindset and the ability to develop senior PMs into leaders.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, publicly traded company environment with the organizational maturity to navigate competing priorities, resource constraints, and executive stakeholders.

• Embody Rapid7's core values and foster a culture of excellence, psychological safety, and customer impact across the product organization.

We know that the best ideas and solutions come from multi-dimensional teams. That's because these teams reflect a variety of backgrounds and professional experiences. If you are excited about this role and feel your experience can make an impact, please don't be shy — apply today.
