VP Product Marketing, Cloud Security (Hybrid)

About the Role:

We are seeking a Vice President of Product Marketing for Cloud Security to define and lead CrowdStrike's cloud security narrative, category strategy, and go-to-market execution across one of the company's most critical growth areas.

This role requires a high degree of strategic platform, go-to-market, and cloud security category positioning expertise to shape the market and drive category leadership across CrowdStrike's cloud security portfolio. The VP of Product Marketing, Cloud Security serves as a central hub between Product and Engineering, Sales and Marketing, customers, partners, and the analyst community to drive market awareness, validate leadership in key analyst evaluations, and accelerate product adoption and expansion with new and existing customers.

This role is accountable for defining and operationalizing a comprehensive cloud security product marketing strategy, including multi-year vision, annual plans, priorities, success metrics, and operating cadence. The VP will build and execute a full-funnel go-to-market plan that aligns product innovation, market timing, and customer demand, while making clear tradeoffs to maximize business impact.

This role owns end-to-end product marketing leadership for Falcon Cloud Security, including positioning, messaging, launches, analyst strategy, sales enablement, and thought leadership. While demand generation, competitive intelligence, digital, PR, and analyst relations do not report into this role, this leader is expected to set the strategy, direction, and success metrics that guide execution across all marketing functions.

The VP will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Alliances, and executive leadership to drive category leadership, revenue growth, and durable differentiation in a highly competitive market.

This role requires deep expertise across modern cloud security domains, including CNAPP, CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, cloud runtime protection, and Cloud Detection & Response (CDR), as well as a strong understanding of how cloud security buyers evaluate platforms at enterprise scale.

This role is hybrid, combining remote work with ongoing in-office presence at one of the posted locations to enable effective teamwork and cross-functional collaboration

• Represent CrowdStrike as a cloud security thought leader with customers, analysts, and industry forums

What You'll Need:

• 15+ years of experience in cybersecurity, cloud security, product marketing, technical marketing, or product management
