Role Summary Anaplan’s Product Security team is responsible for securing a platform that large enterprises rely on for real business decisions—across finance, supply chain, workforce, and sales planning. As Senior Manager, you will own the day‑to‑day leadership of a team that spans application security, infrastructure and cloud security, offensive security, and vulnerability management. You report to the Director of Product Security and are accountable for turning strategy into consistent, measurable security outcomes across the product portfolio.
Your Impact
Lead and develop the Product Security team: hire, coach, and retain engineers across AppSec, InfraSec, OffSec, and vulnerability management. Set clear expectations and build a team that ships security improvements, not just findings.
Own the operating rhythm: run sprint planning, triage, and retrospectives. Calibrate work across BAU vulnerability management, strategic projects, and longer‑term capability building.
Drive secure SDLC integration: ensure threat modelling, design reviews, and security tooling are embedded into how engineering teams build—not bolted on after the fact.
Prioritise based on real risk: translate scanner output, pen‑test findings, and threat intelligence into prioritised remediation plans that engineering teams actually execute.
Scale security through automation and self‑service: invest in tooling, guardrails, and developer‑facing documentation that reduce friction and increase coverage without linear headcount growth.
Partner with engineering and platform leadership: represent Product Security in cross‑functional planning, influence roadmaps, and ensure security trade‑offs are understood at the right level.
Manage security incidents: coordinate response for product security incidents, run post‑mortems, and ensure findings translate into durable fixes.
Report on programme health: provide clear, honest reporting to the Director and broader leadership on risk posture, coverage gaps, and team capacity.
Your Qualifications
Demonstrated experience leading a product or application security team, including hiring, coaching, and performance management.
Broad technical grounding across at least two of: application security, cloud/infrastructure security, offensive security, and vulnerability management.
Hands‑on history in secure SDLC practices—threat modelling, design reviews, security tooling in CI/CD—enough to credibly challenge your team’s work.
Ability to prioritise ruthlessly: separate high‑impact risk reduction from low‑value compliance theatre.
Experience building cross‑functional partnerships with engineering, product, and platform teams—influencing without owning the delivery backlog.
Clear, direct communication—able to present risk, trade‑offs, and programme status to senior leadership without hiding behind jargon.
Comfort operating in a product‑led, engineering‑heavy organisation where security earns its seat through credibility, not authority.
