Over 80 of the Fortune 100, 10,000 large enterprises, and millions of smaller organizations trust Proofpoint to stop threats, prevent data loss, and build resilience across their people and AI workflows. Our mission is simple: safeguard the digital world and empower people to work securely and confidently. Join us in our pursuit to defend data and protect people. How We Work: At Proofpoint you’ll be part of a global team that breaks barriers to redefine cybersecurity guided by our BRAVE core values:  Bold in how we dream and innovate Responsive to feedback, challenges and opportunities Accountable for results and best in class outcomes Visionary in future focused problem-solving Exceptional in execution and impact Job Title: Vice President, Product Marketing – Data Security & Governance Location: Sunnyvale, CA (Hybrid) The Opportunity Proofpoint is the global leader in Human and Agent-Centric Security. We are seeking a Vice President of Product Marketing to serve as the strategic architect and GTM engine for our Data Security & Governance business unit. This is a high-stakes leadership role for a "Doer-Manager" who thrives at the intersection of Strategy, Product, and Sales. As the primary marketing counterpart to the EVP/GM of the Business Unit and the SVP of Product Management, you will define how the world’s largest enterprises secure data in the age of AI Agents. The Mission The world of data security is undergoing a fundamental shift: as data migrates from static repositories to autonomous, agent-driven workflows, traditional perimeter defenses have become obsolete. Security is no longer defined by where data lives, but by how humans and AI agents interact with it. Proofpoint is uniquely positioned to lead this evolution. We provide the only platform that converges Data Security (DLP, DSPM, Insider Threat) with Intelligent Governance (Archiving, Compliance) at a global scale. As the definitive standard for the Secure Agentic Workspace, Proofpoint ensures that the world’s most regulated organizations can embrace the future of AI without compromising their data, their reputation, or their regulatory integrity. Your Responsibilities Category Strategy & Narrative: Define and own the global narrative for Human and Agent-Centric Data Security. You will articulate a vision that bridges the gap between proactive data protection (Security) and regulatory integrity (Governance) across both human and autonomous actors. Strategic Product Interlock: Partner lockstep with Product Management to influence the roadmap. You will translate technical innovations in DSPM and Agentic Data Governance into business-critical value propositions that resonate with both the CISO and the Chief Risk Officer. Leadership & Organizational Scale: Manage, mentor, and inspire a high-performing, distributed Product Marketing organization. You will foster a culture characterized by technical depth, high-velocity execution, and an "AI-first" mindset. Market Dominance & Competitive Edge: Own the "win." You will direct the creation of battlecards and strategic plays that dismantle legacy competitors by proving that true data security requires deep visibility into human behavior and agentic intent. Executive Evangelism: Serve as the primary external face of the business unit. You will represent Proofpoint’s vision to industry analysts, customer advisory boards, and at major industry keynotes, confidently navigating topics from Autonomous Agent risks to SEC regulations What You Bring to the Team 15+ Years of Strategic Experience: A proven track record in B2B cybersecurity marketing, including 8+ years in senior leadership (VP or Sr. Director). Domain Mastery: Deep, "hands-on" knowledge of the Data Security landscape, including DLP, CASB, SSE, and DSPM. Governance Fluency: A sophisticated understanding of the relationship between Security and Compliance. You can speak credibly about archiving and risk without losing your edge as a security leader. The "Doer-Manager" Hybrid: You take pride in your ability to manage large, complex teams while remaining "close to the metal"—capable of reviewing a keynote abstract or a launch blog with a practitioner’s eye. Scale Competency: Experience operating within a high-growth public company or a late-stage Private Equity environment. You understand the cadence of analyst relations, quarterly GTM forecasting, and the path to $5B ARR. Why Proofpoint We protect the people, data, and AI of the world’s largest organizations—including over 85% of the Fortune 100. As we march toward $5B ARR, you will lead the charge in defining the Secure Agentic Workspace, where security and governance are invisible enablers of innovation. #LI-JR1 Why Proofpoint?
