Product Manager, Service Provider And SRX Platform

Product Line Manager – High-End SRX & Service Provider

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is the global edge-to-cloud leader helping organizations connect, protect, analyze, and act on their data—wherever it lives. We bring together the power of AI, networking, and security to enable outcomes at enterprise and service-provider scale. Our culture values bold ideas, diverse perspectives, and meaningful impact. At HPE, you'll have the flexibility to thrive personally while building products that secure some of the world's most critical networks.

We are looking for an experienced Product Line Manager to lead the High-End SRX security portfolio, while also owning the Service Provider (SP) security strategy built on SRX.

This role combines platform-level product ownership with vertical-specific strategic leadership. You will shape the long-term direction of SRX as a high-performance security platform across all segments, while defining how the SRX portfolio wins in Service Provider environments. This is a high-visibility role with direct influence on executive strategy, customer success, and revenue growth.

High-End SRX Product Line Strategy

You are the end-to-end owner of the High-End SRX portfolio across its full lifecycle.

You will:

• Define and drive the long-term vision, roadmap, and investment strategy for the High-End SRX platform
• Own portfolio decisions across features, SKUs, pricing, margins, and transitions
• Lead product planning from new product definition through launch, growth, and end-of-life
• Translate market and competitive insights into clear differentiation and roadmap priorities
• Build and present business cases to secure funding and executive alignment
• Ensure tight alignment across engineering, supply chain, marketing, sales, and operations

SRX Service Provider Security Strategy

You are the strategic owner of how SRX solves Service Provider security challenges.

You will:

• Define the SRX security strategy for the Service Provider segment
• Deeply understand SP customer environments and use cases, including:
  • 5G and mobile core security
  • Gi / SGi Firewalls and Security Gateways
  • Roaming and interconnect security
  • Large-scale DDoS mitigation and threat prevention
• Shape vertical-specific requirements, positioning, and value propositions
• Prioritize capabilities that deliver carrier-grade scale, performance, automation, and reliability
• Partner with customers, sales teams, and field organizations to capture real-world requirements
• Represent HPE as a trusted security thought leader for Service Providers

How you'll work:

• Author clear, actionable product requirements and work closely with engineering on execution
• Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver high-quality products with faster time-to-market
• Present roadmap, strategy, and results to VP-level leadership and key customers
• Use customer feedback, support data, and market trends to continuously refine priorities
• Influence outcomes through credibility, data, and clarity—not authority alone

What success looks like:

• A clearly differentiated High-End SRX portfolio that scales across enterprise and SP demands
• Strong executive confidence in SRX investment and roadmap decisions
• Service Providers choosing SRX for their most critical security workloads
• Products that balance innovation, operational excellence, and business performance

Why This Role Stands Out

This role is ideal for a senior Product Manager who wants true ownership—of a flagship security platform and a critical vertical strategy. You'll shape how SRX evolves technically while directly influencing how it secures the world's largest and most demanding networks.

If you want to build strategy, lead execution, and see your decisions matter at scale, this role delivers.
