About this role
About Us
Nexcess is a managed cloud infrastructure company operating across 16 global data centers, serving 185,000+ customers on 100,000+ servers. We deliver expert-managed cloud hosting, networking, storage, and compliance-ready environments for enterprises that need performance, predictability, and control.
The Role
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own our application services portfolio. Your scope will span edge services (CDN, load balancing, edge compute, performance optimization), application security (WAF, DDoS mitigation, bot management, API protection), and compliance and security operations (SOC, SIEM, vulnerability management, compliance frameworks such as PCI-DSS and HIPAA).
This is a broad role, but the through-line is clear: you own the products that sit between our customers' infrastructure and the outside world. Everything that touches traffic delivery, application protection, threat mitigation, and regulatory readiness falls within your orbit.
You will form and drive the strategy for these product areas, own the end-to-end product lifecycle, and define how application services come together as a cohesive, differentiated offering. You will own the revenue strategy, Net Revenue Retention (NRR), and the enterprise customer experience across these lines.
What You Will Do
*Strategy and Vision*
- 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,...
