What You Will Do

• Own and manage the PAM backlog: write, refine, and prioritize user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical tasks in collaboration with engineering and product management.
• Drive sprint planning and backlog grooming, ensuring stories capture privileged-session behaviors, approval-chain logic, credential rotation, and target-system integration edge cases.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for the engineering team during delivery clarifying requirements for JIT access requests, time-bound credential leasing, session recording/replay, and policy enforcement.
• Partner with Product Management to translate PAM strategy into well-defined epics, milestones, and sprint-ready work, including standing privilege elimination, ephemeral access, and break-glass workflows.
• Manage work across multiple product surfaces admin console, vault, approval interfaces, and integration APIs tracking dependencies and maintaining alignment across teams.
• Set and manage delivery timelines: maintain realistic sprint and milestone forecasts, surface risks early, and communicate timeline changes clearly to stakeholders before they become surprises.
• Collaborate with Design, QA, Security, and Compliance to define acceptance criteria that support secure, reliable, and auditable customer experiences.
• Ensure requirements account for governance, separation of duties, approval chains, session auditability, and privileged-access lifecycle management (provisioning through de-provisioning).
• Track and communicate sprint progress, delivery risks, decisions, and dependency status to Product and Engineering leadership.
• Engage with customer feedback, support escalations, and enterprise security/compliance stakeholders to refine story prioritization and surface unmet workflow needs.
• Identify, coordinate, and manage cross-functional dependencies throughout the product development lifecycle
• Support release planning, readiness reviews, launch coordination, and post-release evaluation
• Use AI tools and automation to accelerate discovery, requirements writing, story creation, documentation, and delivery workflows.
• Understand software fundamentals relevant to PAM, including APIs, integrations, data models, authentication, authorization, and privileged-session brokering.
• Understand core identity and security concepts such as least privilege, role-based and attribute-based access control, policy enforcement, approvals, session recording
• Understand cloud-based and self-hosted product considerations, including configuration, deployment, licensing, and version compatibility across customer environments.
