The Opportunity We are seeking an experienced Senior Product Manager for Identity & Access Management to help define and drive the next generation of authentication, authorization, and developer-facing identity capabilities across Splunk. You will work closely with engineering leadership to build foundational and forward-looking identity services supporting customers, workloads, machines, and—critically—AI and agent-driven interactions inside Splunk’s emerging AI platform. Identity is the trust fabric of Splunk. You will shape the evolution of secure access across everything we build—from human login to autonomous agent access, workload trust bootstrap, cross-cloud session security, and policy enforcement at scale. Responsibilities Develop and maintain a comprehensive product roadmap in partnership with engineering, platform, and product orgs—balancing customer needs, scale, compliance and future-ready architecture. Own product strategy for identity standards such as SAML, OAuth, OIDC, SCIM, as well as modern authorization models (RBAC, ABAC, PBAC, scoped tokens, fine-grained policy). Drive the next generation of Splunk identity to support AI systems, autonomous agents, machine-identity issuance, short-lived credentials, and Just-In-Time trust workflows. Define and evolve authentication and authorization for agent-to-agent (A2A) interactions, delegated access, workload identity bootstrap, and agentic policy governance. Partner deeply with customers, enterprise security teams, field, and developers to gather feedback, validate requirements, and translate insights into platform-level capabilities. Lead product lifecycle execution—from vision → design → rollout → adoption—with measurable delivery outcomes and release clarity across the Splunk ecosystem. Promote continuous learning, modernization, and new identity models such as zero-trust enforcement, passwordless authentication, and adaptive policy powered by AI-driven signals. Requirements Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience (advanced degree a plus). 7+ years experience in Product Management, Identity, Security, or relevant technical platform roles. Deep understanding of IAM fundamentals: OAuth, OIDC, JWT, SCIM, mutual-TLS, session/token security, and enterprise authorization patterns (RBAC, ABAC, PBAC). Experience with platform-scale identity systems, preferably in distributed cloud environments. Skilled in writing proposals, narratives, and roadmaps; able to drive alignment across engineering, security, field, and customer collaborators. Experience with Splunk architecture or administering Splunk products is strongly preferred. Understanding of AI-powered policy engines, identity automation, workload/agent identity, threat-adaptive AuthN/AuthZ, or agent-first access orchestration is a strong differentiator. Why Cisco?
