Job Summary

Own the NetSec service strategy and end-to-end launch execution, balancing product reality with scalable GTM builds for NPIs/NSIs. Shape the future of support through standardized delivery models, executive alignment, and automation toward a mostly agentic service model.

Growth/Service Architecture: Define and standardize delivery models for new product introductions while guiding custom exceptions when governance requires it.
Go-To-Market Orchestration: Lead scalable launch planning and enable field delivery teams before Go/No-Go decisions.

Job Description

Internal Consulting & Standardization: Act as a strategic advisor to core Product Managers upstream. Develop and implement standardized "service permutations," empowering PMs to self-select proven delivery models while reserving custom exceptions for rigorous governance and review.
Product & Priority Alignment: Deeply understand the core product architecture and overarching business priorities to intelligently evaluate which products require custom service delivery models versus standard implementations.
Orchestrate GTM Execution: Develop the core strategy for, and orchestrate, scalable support launches. Ensure the field and GCS delivery teams are strategically positioned and fully enabled prior to Go/No-Go assessments.
Market Analysis & Trend Identification: Continuously review industry trends related to AI, agentic support frameworks, and service monetization to develop data-driven recommendations for long-term operational improvements.
Architectural Evolution & Automation: Lead the roadmap to transition legacy, human-heavy support processes toward a fully agentic model, moving from 100% human-delivered services toward a target of 20% human touch.
