Knostic

Hey, are you a VP Product in security? Join Sounil Yu, me, and the team, at the future market juggernaut, our startup Knostic. We do AI security, focusing on making the adoption of LLM at enterprises happen, by tying it to immediate business needs. Then, we're building a moat directly embedded into our vision of what the future enterprise looks like, with our technology at its core. And lastly, leaving focus behind and daring to dream, is the future of of civilization itself, with safe AI. This is a unique opportunity to be one of the first key hires, working closely with Sounil, myself, and the rest of the team to shape our product vision and roadmap. And let's be honest, as the one leading product - the company itself. Knostic has earned industry recognition by winning the RSAC Launch Pad and Black Hat Startup Spotlight competitions, gaining momentum with early adopters—all without a marketing budget. Now, we’re ready to level up, and that’s where you come in. This isn’t just a VP Product role—it’s an opportunity to build, lead, and make a significant impact from early traction to scale. If you thrive in ambiguity, enjoy building from scratch, and love collaborating with founders and engineering teams, this role is for you. The Ideal Candidate: - Hands-on leader: You don’t mind getting into the weeds and executing when needed (you get things done) - Enterprise product experience: You’re comfortable building solutions for large, complex organizations (enterprise readiness is a thing) - Startup-savvy: Experience working in early-stage startups, navigating uncertainty, and loving the thrill of the journey (get under the stretcher, lead us forward, context switching ftw) - Technical understanding: Familiarity with cybersecurity and AI is a huge plus (we speak security, we build security) - Strategic thinker: Able to build a long-term roadmap while delivering quick wins along the way (startups are tactical, but trenches or not - product builds our future) - Collaborative team player: You thrive in working with founders, engineers, and key partners, moving toward shared goals (we're a team) - Location: Israel-based position with collaboration across time zones (position is in IL, but we have team members all around) More on us: https://knostic.ai/ If this sounds like you—or someone you know—we’d love to hear from you! #Hiring #VPProduct #StartupLife #AI #Cybersecurity #ProductLeadership #CISOlife
