About the Role

As General Manager, Workload, you will own the strategy, commercial performance, product direction, and market narrative for one of Delinea's most important growth bets: securing the machine identities and machine-to-machine communications at the heart of modern software. You will build for the developers, platform engineers, and DevSecOps teams who depend on that security every day, and for the CISOs and Heads of Platform/Infrastructure Security who sponsor it.

This role is part strategist, part operator, part commercial leader. You understand how security products are built, but you are not bound by product-management mechanics: you spot the right market opportunities, rally teams around the highest-value bets, support the field, engage executive customers, and make disciplined tradeoffs. You are equally comfortable owning a number and shaping a narrative, operating at board-level altitude one moment and digging into roadmap, pipeline, pricing, and competitive detail the next.

Reporting to the Chief Product Officer, you will lead in a highly matrixed environment, influencing across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Finance, Engineering, and Strategy without owning every function, while setting business priorities and partnering with Engineering leadership to deliver against shared goals. It is a highly visible, high-impact role with real influence over Delinea's growth and customer relevance, and a chance to shape a more focused, commercially accountable operating model for the company's next chapter.

• Drive multi-product portfolio and cross-sell across accounts, and provide executive-level visibility into business performance, risks, tradeoffs, and decisions required to meet commitments

Product Strategy & Roadmap Direction

• Own the three-quarter rolling roadmap and set the strategic direction for Workload solutions across machine identity, secrets management, non-human identity, and service-account and CI/CD security

• Translate developer, platform-engineering, DevSecOps, and CISO demand signals into prioritized use cases, business cases, and investment recommendations, ranked by revenue impact, competitive differentiation, and feasibility

• Partner with Engineering and Platform Product leaders on shared capabilities such as policy, MFA, and analytics, ensuring every roadmap decision supports scalable growth through adoption, expansion, attach, or simplification

Market Positioning & Go-to-Market Execution

• Own the Workload market narrative and competitive positioning, with a clear, differentiated point of view for developers, platform engineers, DevSecOps teams, and the CISOs who sponsor them, against alternatives competitors.

• Partner with Marketing and Product Marketing on messaging, proof points, and launch plans, and with Sales on repeatable plays, demo flows, and executive deal support

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Lead and develop a team of product and product marketing leaders, and serve as the central business owner for Workload across Product, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Engineering, Finance, and Strategy

• Influence without direct authority across a complex matrixed organization, ensuring clear ownership, decision rights, fast decision-making, and disciplined execution

• Represent the Workload business in executive planning, commercial reviews, and quarterly business reviews, creating alignment on priorities, success metrics, customer commitments, and tradeoffs
