About the Role:
Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, the Senior Vice President of Product Marketing is a member of CrowdStrike's Marketing Leadership Team and Senior Leadership Team. This executive will drive CrowdStrike's platform strategy and market leadership, strengthen the company's position across every cybersecurity category in which we compete, and accelerate growth by defining differentiated market narratives that shape customer perception and industry direction.
CrowdStrike pioneered AI-native cybersecurity and has built one of the industry's most comprehensive, market-leading security platforms. As organizations consolidate point products in favor of unified platforms, Product Marketing sits at the center of CrowdStrike's growth strategy - defining the platform narrative, strengthening category leadership, influencing product strategy, working with industry influencers to help guide our market and product strategy, and accelerating new customer adoption and platform expansion across all relevant markets.
The SVP of Product Marketing owns the global product marketing strategy for the Falcon platform, including positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy for the platform, products, and services; analyst relations; technical marketing; pricing and packaging; field enablement; and serves as a key stakeholder to guide market awareness and demand campaigns and initiatives. This leader will ensure CrowdStrike consistently defines the market conversation, shapes customer perception, reinforces category leadership, and equips every customer-facing team with differentiated narratives that accelerate growth.
This role serves as the strategic bridge between Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, executive leadership, customers, partners, analysts, and investors. Beyond bringing products to market, this executive will influence the shaping of emerging categories, identify new growth opportunities, and help define where CrowdStrike leads next.
The successful candidate is an accomplished cybersecurity executive with deep cybersecurity domain expertise, exceptional strategic thinking, the ability to think broadly at the platform/cross-portfolio and product category levels, and a proven ability to build and scale world-class product marketing organizations. They possess equal strengths in market strategy, technical depth, executive communication, and organizational leadership, with a demonstrated ability to translate complex technologies into differentiated customer value across technical and executive audiences.
This leader will oversee a global organization of more than 50 product marketers, technical marketers, and analyst relations experts. They will foster a culture of excellence, innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement while serving as a trusted advisor to the executive leadership team on product strategy, competitive dynamics, customer needs, market trends, and long-term business growth.

CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world's leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware-based defenses. Founder George Kurtz realized that a brand new approach was needed - one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware.
There's much more to the story of how Falcon has redefined endpoint protection but there's only one thing to remember about CrowdStrike: We stop breaches.
