Senior Technical Product Manager

About the role

Modern software demands continuous security validation. Cobalt is pioneering the evolution beyond legacy, point-in-time PTaaS through our Autonomous and Continuous pentesting platform-providing continuous, scalable, and AI-driven security coverage across enterprise environments.

In the role of Senior Technical Product Manager, you will shape the strategic product vision, steer live initiatives, and spearhead 0-to-1 feature development to drive business ROI across Cobalt's Autonomous and Continuous Pentesting portfolio. You will conduct deep product discovery, instill scalable PM leadership practices, and redefine how continuous, autonomous offensive security is delivered to modern enterprises.

You will combine strong business acumen with technical rigor, driving clear feature ownership from discovery to delivery. Operating as a proactive cross-functional leader, you will challenge existing processes and communicate transparently to ensure our continuous pentesting platform solves critical customer security problems with measurable impact.

• Transparent & Structured Communication: Maintain standard executive-level visibility into roadmap progress, product decisions, and operational metrics through regular updates and clear artifact documentation.
• Domain Expertise in Autonomous Security: Serve as the internal subject matter expert on continuous vulnerability management, AI-driven offensive security techniques, and automated pentesting workflows.
• Data-Driven Performance Management: Define and monitor rigorous success criteria, evaluating product performance against strategic business metrics and customer satisfaction outcomes.
