The Cisco Identity Intelligence team is seeking a product manager to grow the core capabilities of the Identity Security Platform.
In this role, you will conduct market research and work closely with our sales team to define and prioritize the requirements for our offering. You will get an in-depth understanding of the customer use cases and the product workflows and partner with our UX team to create the best user experience. You will help the engineering team understand the requirements and make sure the acceptance criteria are well defined and understood.
Who You’ll Work With:
Cisco Identity Intelligence empowers security operations, identity and access management, and governance and compliance teams with a powerful platform to detect and respond to workforce identity threats quickly and at scale. By bringing together an organization’s identity sources into a single solution, it saves teams hundreds of hours each month in the investigation and remediation of identity threats and vulnerabilities.
What You’ll Do:
- Collect input from major stakeholders (especially customers) to understand their problems and requirements
- Identify and present innovative and creative product solutions.
- Conduct market analysis, competitive analysis and translate it to product direction.
- Research, write and validate requirements and resulting product features with customers to ensure success
- Balance business and user needs with technical constraints - discover the true requirements behind feature requests, recommend alternative approaches, and lead and inspire engineering efforts to meet objectives
- Work with the UX team to build the best user experience
- Partner with sales and SE teams for effective introduction of a product into the market
- Produce case studies, white papers, presentations, and other materials to help evangelize the product
Who You Are:
As a product manager, you enjoy thinking through what it takes to build a world-class offering, you know how to communicate that to all the key stakeholders (engineering, sales, marketing…), and you can generate market and customer adoption. In this position, you will help drive growth by defining product features and making sure they are tuned to the market and to our customers.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree within computer science or related field
- 2+ years working on SaaS software
- Experience with product management, working directly with engineering and design teams to plan, develop, and deliver SaaS products
Desired Qualifications:
- 5+ years of product management experience in a customer facing role within the IAM space
- Masters in technical field or MBA
- Direct experience in the Cyber Security space
- Direct experience working with internal and external technology partners to define and execute on integration strategies
- Excellent presentation and written communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively to both technical and business-oriented audiences
Why Cisco?
#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.
We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!
But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)
Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, ambitious steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.
So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!
We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform crucial job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Please contact us to request accommodation.

For non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. or Canada hiring location.

U.S. employees have to quality medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and numerous wellbeing offerings. Employees receive up to twelve paid holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday, plus a day off for their birthday. Employees accrue up to 20 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) each year and have access to paid time away to deal with critical or emergency issues without tapping into their PTO. We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back to the community. Employees are also able to purchase company stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Program.
Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco typically pays as follows:
.75% of incentive target for each 1% of revenue attainment up to 50% of quota;
1.5% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 50% and 75%;
1% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 75% and 100%; and once performance exceeds 100% attainment, incentive rates are at or above 1% for each 1% of attainment with no cap on incentive compensation.
For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
