You are the product manager of a business pivot. You are taking a company that sells "physical" or "on-premise" network security software and moving it into the modern world of Cloud/SaaS. Your success isn't just measured by features, but by how successfully you migrate thousands of existing customers into a new way of paying and using the product.

Migration Strategy: Lead the "Grand Migration" of 7,500+ customers from perpetual licenses (one-time buy) to subscriptions (recurring pay). Pricing & Packaging: Design "Pay-per-use" models that keep the company profitable while ensuring long-term customers feel they are getting a fair deal. Go-To-Market (GTM): Decide how to launch the SaaS version—which features come first and how to position it against competitors like Zscaler or Palo Alto Networks. Cloud Transition: Choose the underlying SaaS platforms and technologies that will power the next generation of security products. Roadmap Ownership: Define the technical vision and prioritize what the engineering team builds next. Competitive Intel: Actively track the cybersecurity landscape to ensure your product remains "world-class" against technical stalwarts.

15+ Years of Experience: This is a veteran-level role. You need a deep "war chest" of experience in Network Security (Firewalls, VPNs, Zero Trust, etc.). Cloud/SaaS Expertise: Proven experience moving products to the cloud and managing subscription-based revenue models. Educational Foundation: A Master’s Degree in either Engineering (for technical depth) or Management (for business strategy).
