Job Introduction
Tekion is expanding its platform into security and compliance products for automotive retail, and we are hiring a senior product professional to own this new product area end to end. This role will build across two connected domains:
- Compliance / GRC: Products that help dealerships meet regulatory obligations, including F&I deal compliance, privacy and data governance, and evolving federal and state requirements, directly within the systems they already use.
- Cybersecurity: A modular suite of security capabilities delivered as independent products over time, including vulnerability and network scanning, continuous exposure management, endpoint detection and response, email security, credential-exposure monitoring, data-loss prevention, and log analytics / SIEM.
This is both a zero-to-one and scaling mandate. The role will define strategy, roadmap, packaging, pricing, and go-to-market approach, turning validated customer demand into shippable, monetizable products. The role requires close collaboration with US-based stakeholders and customers, including periodic time-zone overlap.
What You’ll Own
- Product strategy for Tekion’s security and compliance product lines, including the vision, boundaries, and how the two domains reinforce one another.
- Roadmaps for both domains, including sequencing of a modular, SKU-based product portfolio and defining the scope of each release.
- Packaging and pricing models, including subscriptions, consumption-based models, entitlements, and bundling.
- Voice of customer through continuous discovery with dealerships and dealer groups to validate demand before build.
- Cross-functional delivery in partnership with engineering, design, GTM, legal/compliance, security, and platform teams.
