Product Manager Key Management

Product Manager Key Management to lead the strategy development, and lifecycle management of enterprise key management and cryptographic security solutions. This role will be responsible for defining vision, roadmap, and execution plan for key management systems (KMS), encryption solutions, and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive financial data.

Financial services increasingly rely on cloud computing, digital banking, IoT-enabled devices, and Zero Trust architectures, this role is critical in ensuring robust cryptographic security across on-prem, hybrid cloud, and IoT environments. The ideal candidate will have deep experience in cybersecurity, encryption, cryptographic key management, compliance regulations, and financial technology.

This role can be performed in a hybrid model, where you can balance work from home and office to match your needs and role requirements.

What you will be responsible for

• Develop and drive the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for key management, encryption, and cryptographic security solutions.
• Define and prioritize product requirements based on regulatory compliance (PCI DSS, FIPS 140-2/3, GDPR)
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to align cryptographic security solutions with business objectives.
• Lead market research and analysis to identify emerging trends in cryptographic security, post quantum cryptography, and financial cybersecurity threats.
• Work closely with engineering, security, and DevSecOps teams to design, develop, and integrate key management, encryption, and certificate management solutions into financial applications and infrastructure.
• Define and track KPIs and success metrics for key management services, ensuring high availability, scalability, and performance.
• Oversee the integration of on-premises and cloud-native key management solutions (AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault, OCI KMS).
• Ensure all encryption and key management products comply with financial industry regulation and security standards, including: PCI DSS, FIPS 140-2/3, NIST 800-57, ISO 27001, GDPR, FFIEC, and IoT frameworks (NIST 800-183, ETSI EN 303 645).
• Work with compliance, audit, and risk teams to ensure cryptographic risk assessments, security reviews, and penetration testing are conducted regularly.
• Function as the product evangelist for cryptographic security, educating internal teams and external partners on key management best practices, use cases, and compliance requirements.
• Collaborate with regulators, security vendors, fintech partners, and cloud service providers to ensure cutting-edge security practices.
• Partner with software development, infrastructure, and IT security teams to implement encryption and key management across applications, IoT and cloud environments.
• Stay ahead of advancements in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), confidential computing, homomorphic encryption, tokenization and blockchain security.
• Explore AI-Driven cryptographic automation and machine learning applications in key management and anomaly detection.
• Lead the adoption of Zero Trust security models, integration key management with Identity & Access Management (IAM), Secure Enclaves, and Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA).

Education & Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Security or related field or equivalent work experience.
• 7+ years of experience in product Management, cyber security, or cryptographic security solutions within a financial institution or regulated industry.
• Security certifications such as CISM, CISSP, CCSP, and AWS Security Specialty.
• Experience with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness and emerging cryptographic frameworks.
• Experience with JIRA and Confluence.
• Experience with key management systems (HashiCorp Vault, ASW KMS, Azure Key Vault, OCI KMS).
• Familiarity with X.509 certificates, PKI automation, TLS/SSL, ACME protocol, and certificate lifecycle management.
• Understanding of cryptographic algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC), hardware security modules (HSMs), and secure key storage practices.
• Experience working in financial institutions or other highly regulated industries.
• Familiarity with NIST 800-57, PCI DSS, FIPS 140-2/3, ISO 27001, GDPR, FFIEC, and IoT security (NIST 800-183, ETSI EN 303 645).
