We are looking for a Manager, Platform Product Management to shape the next evolution of how Checkmarx packages and delivers its product portfolio.

As a cross-functional product leader, you’ll define and drive the platform strategy that underpins the Checkmarx One experience. You’ll bring structure to prioritization decisions, support the migration of customers to our current platform plans, and develop clear product guidance for internal stakeholders and the field.

• Lead platform migration plans, including transitioning legacy customers to Checkmarx One
• Partner with Engineering, Product, and Sales on platform feature alignment and customer value
• Collaborate with Deal Desk, PMM, and Enablement to operationalize platform capabilities — feature guidance, release workflows, customer messaging, and field training
• Bring customer, competitor, and market insights into platform strategy decisions
• Track platform adoption and performance by region, product line, and customer segment, and optimize strategy based on findings

Requirements

• 7+ years in B2B SaaS product management, with platform or infrastructure experience
• Proven people manager of cross-functional, globally distributed PM and Design teams across multiple regions (US, Israel, India, Portugal)
• Track record of mentoring and growing product management talent
• Experience driving platform strategy at a company scaling toward $500M–$1B+ ARR
• Strong cross-functional credibility with Engineering, Sales, and Revenue Operations

• Structured, data-driven approach to prioritization and build/buy/partner decisions
• East Coast location and Cybersecurity industry experience preferred

What we have to offer

• Competitive salary.
