If you think you would be the right person to join our team working towards this goal, we would love to hear from you!
Role Overview
We’re building a next generation platform that unifies multiple point products into a seamless, end-to-end solution. This role owns success outcomes for a major platform program, directly influencing core operating objectives, customer value realization, and competitive differentiation.
As a lead product manager for our digital forensics investigation and management products, you will define and promote new product approaches that shape how data, workflows, and insights are delivered across the Magnet One ecosystem. You will apply seasoned judgment to ambiguous problem spaces, particularly where untested, evolving, or AI enabled technologies are involved.
This role operates with high autonomy and executive visibility, balancing strategic intent with operational execution, and driving outcomes that materially impact the department and both internal and external customers. You will serve as an initiative owner, not just a feature owner, accountable for results across multiple teams and systems.
Candidates in the Eastern or Central time zones may make for the most optimal time zone.
What You'll Do
- Own major platform outcomes
- Define and manage cross platform product outcomes that support a major business or platform objective, spanning multiple teams, components, and releases.
- Translate high-level strategic goals into measurable program level results, balancing near-term delivery with long-term platform evolution.
- Advance product strategy and practice
- Partner with the Director of Product Management and senior leaders to introduce and socialize new product approaches, frameworks, and integration patterns across the platform.
- Influence prioritization decisions that affect department level roadmaps and investment tradeoffs.
- Apply seasoned judgment in ambiguous domains
- Lead initiatives involving evolving or unproven technologies (including AI assisted workflows and complex data integrations), selecting approaches where outcomes cannot be fully defined upfront.
- Evaluate success using both quantitative metrics and qualitative signals where traditional measures may be insufficient.
- Program level execution leadership
- Oversee execution across multiple initiatives, ensuring alignment across engineering, UX, data, and adjacent product teams.
- Identify systemic risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs; proactively course correct to protect business outcomes.
- Executive communication and accountability
- Serve as the primary point of accountability for initiative performance, regularly communicating progress, risks, and outcomes to executive stakeholders.
- Frame product decisions in terms of customer impact, operational efficiency, and strategic value.
- Customer and market impact
- Lead customer validation at scale (betas, early access, lighthouse customers), synthesizing feedback into platform level insights and decisions.
- Ensure solutions materially improve customer workflows and deliver outcomes that are visible and defensible in the market
What We're Looking For
- Product leadership experience
- 7+ years of SaaS product management experience, with demonstrated ownership of large, cross team or program level initiatives in enterprise or data driven SaaS environments.
- Judgment in complex, evolving systems
- Proven ability to operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces, applying judgment where requirements, constraints, or technologies are still emerging.
- Experience evaluating and guiding work involving AI enabled capabilities, complex data pipelines, or platform integrations.
- Strategic influence
- Track record of influencing decisions beyond immediate team boundaries, shaping department level priorities, practices, or product direction.
- Execution at scale
- Demonstrated success managing multiple concurrent initiatives with significant customer and organizational impact.
- Strong ability to anticipate downstream effects and manage cross dependency risk.
- Communication and credibility
- Ability to communicate complex tradeoffs and outcomes clearly to senior and executive stakeholders, earning trust through clarity, data, and judgment.
Nice to Have Skills
- Experience helping define or evolve product management practices for platform or systems level work.
- Exposure to AI driven product discovery, delivery, or decision support workflows.
- Prior responsibility for initiatives with material impact to operating objectives or customer outcomes
Why You'll Love this Role
- Impact: Your work will directly shape the future of our platform and customer experience.
- Visibility: Regular interaction with executive stakeholders and influence over strategic priorities.
- Growth: Opportunity to develop deep expertise in platform strategy, data integration, and cross-functional leadership.
- Innovation: Be part of a team that’s redefining how customers interact with our ecosystem.

Indicators of Success
We’re looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes listed in “skills and experiences”. It’s more important to us to find candidates who can display indicators of success through skills they have developed and experiences they have been a part of, than to find folks who have ‘been there, done that”.

These in-person moments help us build stronger connections, spark new ideas, and celebrate our successes together. Most days, you can choose what works best for you, while staying in tune with your team’s goals.
We’re excited to welcome you to our team and look forward to achieving great things together - both in the office and wherever you work best!
