Job Description
Senior Product Manager, Application Services
Liquid Web
• Define and drive the product strategy across edge services, application security, and compliance. • Build a multi-year roadmap that positions application services as a platform differentiator, not just a feature checklist. • Identify where to build, buy, or partner across the edge and security ecosystem (CDN providers, WAF engines, bot detection, compliance tooling, threat intelligence feeds). • Conduct competitive analysis across CDN/edge providers, WAAP (Web Application and API Protection) vendors, and compliance platforms to inform positioning and prioritization. • Translate evolving threat landscapes, compliance requirements, and performance demands into clear product direction. • Own the full product lifecycle from discovery through delivery, adoption, and iteration across a diverse set of product surfaces. • Define how edge, security, and compliance capabilities integrate into the broader cloud platform rather than existing as siloed add-ons. • Drive product decisions across a mix of build-vs-buy, vendor integration, and in-house development. • Define requirements, write specifications, and drive execution with engineering, design, and go-to-market teams. • Make trade-off decisions across scope, timeline, and technical debt with confidence. • Own the revenue strategy for application services, including pricing, packaging, bundling, and expansion motions. • Drive NRR through upsell, cross-sell, and retention-focused product improvements. • Partner with sales and solutions teams to shape deal strategy for enterprise accounts, particularly in compliance-sensitive verticals. • Define and track product-level financial metrics (Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), attach rates, gross margin, customer lifetime value). • Understand how application services drive platform stickiness and reduce churn. • Deeply understand the security and compliance needs of enterprise buyers across regulated industries (healthcare, financial services, retail, ad-tech). • Translate pain points such as compliance audit burden, evolving threat vectors, performance at the edge, and vendor sprawl into product strategy. • Engage directly with customers, partners, and the security community to validate direction and gather signal. • Build feedback loops with solutions architects, support, and managed security operations to inform the roadmap. • Work directly with engineering leadership to influence architecture decisions across the application services stack. • Collaborate with marketing on positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy for application services. • Align with other product managers across the platform (cloud hosting, networking, storage) to ensure platform coherence. • Partner with compliance and legal teams to translate regulatory requirements into product capabilities.
Job Requirements
- 7+ years of product management experience in edge services, CDN, application security, or cloud security.
- Deep technical fluency across at least two of the following: CDN/edge compute, WAF/DDoS/bot management, load balancing, compliance frameworks (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2), or security operations (SOC, SIEM, vulnerability management).
- Experience managing a product portfolio that spans multiple product lines, not just a single feature area.
- Track record of owning a P&L or revenue line for a security or edge product.
- Experience building products for enterprise buyers with complex compliance, procurement, and integration requirements.
- Strong commercial instinct: you understand pricing, bundling, attach rates, NRR, and how security and edge products drive platform value.
- Comfort operating in build-vs-buy environments where vendor partnerships and integrations are as important as in-house development.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Benefits
- Competitive salary

• Own the Lab bet portfolio. Size opportunities, set entry/exit criteria, and make decisive scale/iterate/kill calls. • Frame experiments around the single riskiest assumption. Define kill criteria before building. Choose the right fidelity (prototype, spike, wizard-of-oz, no-code, live pilot). Ship fast and protect learning speed. • Synthesize results into opinionated recommendations. Communicate what was tested, learned, and what remains unknown. • When a bet shows strong signal, prepare validated hypotheses, evidence packs, risks, and a proposed scaling model. Transfer ownership fully. • Source and close lighthouse pilots with clear scope, metrics, and off-ramps. Identify enabling partners and join strategic calls to move pilots to business validation. • Build a repeatable Lab Operating System (pipeline reviews, kill reviews, demo days, post-mortems). • Use AI tools to accelerate research, synthesis, and prototyping. Explore AI-enabled product ideas with a realistic lens on cost, data, and accuracy. Publish decision memos and share failed experiments openly.
