Partner with the AI red team and security research to turn new attack techniques into prioritized product capabilities for mitigation and detection
Conduct user discovery to deeply understand end-to-end workflows, pain points, and priorities. Translate customer needs into clear use cases and Product Requirements Documents (PRDs). Work closely with engineering to assess technical tradeoffs and feasibility
Drive adoption at scale via onboarding playbooks, office hours, reference architectures, and OKRs (coverage, time-to-onboard)
Define and track success metrics and drive product changes and improvements based on results
Stay at the forefront of the AI threat landscape by following research, model evolution, real-world AI cyberattacks, and changes to standards (NIST, OWASP, MITRE)
