Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Extreme Networks is a global networking company providing cloud-driven networking solutions to enterprise customers. The Senior Product Manager will own Identity & Access Management as a platform service, defining its architecture, governance model, roadmap, and agent-enabled identity capabilities. The role also leads product execution, customer discovery, enterprise positioning, and cross-functional coordination across platform, infrastructure, security, and AI teams.

Responsibilities

• Own the enterprise identity strategy for Extreme Platform ONE, serving human operators AND autonomous agents in a hybrid operational model
• Define architectural standards, governance rules, and cross-team enforcement mechanisms for all identity-impacting changes
• Create and maintain the Identity & Access governance framework (rule engine, Quality review, SLA enforcement, Compliance)
• Ensure zero unplanned cross-product identity regressions; own PSIRT escalation response and remediation roadmaps
• Design and evolve the identity model that enables agents to work autonomously on specific tasks while enforcing strict boundaries: capability binding, intent constraints, token lifecycle, graduated trust, and escalation thresholds
• Define which tasks agents can execute fully autonomously (e.g., health monitoring, standard deployments, routine optimizations) vs. which require human approval/oversight vs. which remain human-only (policy, architecture, incident response)
• Design escalation mechanisms: agents execute within scope but immediately escalate anomalies, exceptions, and anything outside their decision boundaries to humans
• Partner with AI platform leadership to ensure agents can operate autonomously safely, and humans retain full visibility and control
• Own the product roadmap for identity capabilities: provisioning, token lifecycle, audit trails, API scoping, multi-tenant isolation, autonomous agent execution audit (what did agents do, why, did they stay in bounds, what escalated to humans)
• Define service-level agreements (SLAs) for identity: availability, performance, consistency, observability, and other factors, such as human escalation response times
• Translate customer requirements, competitive intelligence, and platform constraints into clear, prioritized capabilities
• Communicate roadmap clearly to customers, sales, engineering, and leadership
• Write clear product requirements and user stories for identity capabilities that serve humans and enable agents to work within scoped autonomy
• Collaborate with engineering and design solutions that require deep architectural understanding of human-agent boundaries
• Partner on phased rollout and adoption strategies (beta programs, feature flags, rollback readiness, escalation testing)
• Own product lifecycle: from validation → design → execution → adoption → measurement
• Be the voice of the customer on all things identity & access control. Conduct discovery with large enterprises across different verticals to understand which operational tasks they trust agents with today, which they plan to delegate, and which will always require human judgment
• Build trust through radical transparency and human control: customers must understand exactly what agents can do, what stays human-only, where boundaries are, and how to override/escalate
• Coordinate identity roadmap dependencies across platform, infrastructure, security, and AI/agent teams
• Ensure identity governance is the control mechanism that enforces which tasks agents can execute autonomously and which require human approval

Skills

• - 7+ years Product Management experience in enterprise SaaS, networking, security, or platform infrastructure roles
• - Deep IAM/Identity expertise: OAuth 2.0, SAML, OIDC, token lifecycle, RBAC, ABAC, multi-tenant boundary enforcement, audit trails
• - Platform product management: You've shipped products where cross-team governance mattered and architectural decisions had wide impact
• - Architectural thinking: You can read technical specs, understand distributed system tradeoffs, and translate between engineering and business language
• - Agentic systems knowledge: Understanding of how autonomous agents operate within task-scoped boundaries. Familiar with concepts like capability binding, intent constraints, graduated trust, behavior drift detection, human escalation
• - Enterprise customer fluency: You understand large-organization compliance needs, audit requirements, and how enterprises operate networks
• - Security/compliance: Experience with IAM platforms (Okta, CyberArk, Microsoft Entra); familiar with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, FedRAMP)
• - SaaS scale: Experience with building products that scale to millions of users/devices and thousands of enterprise tenants
• **Work authorization:** We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa, including H-1B visas, at this time
