Principal Product Manager, Fraud and Cybersecurity

Employment Type: Full-Time
Location: Remote, Lahore Pakistan

About the Role
 

This role is based in Lahore, Pakistan. You will own the product direction for Pixalate's fraud and privacy products: how invalid traffic (IVT) is defined and labeled, how supply chain verification is applied, the fraud datafeeds clients use to block bad traffic, and the COPPA and privacy products. You will turn what the fraud team finds in impression-level data into shipped detection, reporting and datafeeds.

You will work daily with the fraud team and engineering, and with Customer Success when a change affects what clients see in their reports and blocklists. This is a hands-on product role. You write the requirements, check the data behind them, test the results before release, and explain the change to clients and to the team.

This is not a program management role, and it is not a pure compliance or policy role. You are expected to understand how fraud works well enough to argue about a detection signal with the people who found it.

What You'll Do

• Own the IVT taxonomy: define new IVT types, set their priority and naming, and decide how they appear in the dashboard, the API and scheduled reports alongside the legacy types.
• Take new fraud detection from research to release: write requirements for the fraud pipeline, set the false-positive bar, run user acceptance testing and agree the rollout sequence.
• Own supply chain object (SCO) verification: define how unauthorized and incomplete sellers are flagged, as an IVT type or a metric.
• Own the fraud datafeeds (IP, device ID, mobile and CTV): define what belongs in each feed, the evidence rules and guardrails, and what clients should expect when a feed changes.
• Own the COPPA and privacy products: define the classifications, reports and API modules that clients use to find child-directed and non-compliant apps, and answer client questions on how they work.
• Estimate the client impact of every change with SQL before it ships, and plan the messaging with Customer Success.
• Write one-pagers, requirements and release plans, and keep the roadmap current with engineering and the program team.
• Work with the fraud team on investigations, and help turn findings into product features, client explanations and public research.

What You Bring

Required:

• 7+ years in product management, including 3+ years on cybersecurity, fraud detection or threat intelligence products.
• Cybersecurity experience: you have owned a security, fraud or threat detection product and can explain the signals it used and why they mattered.
• A degree in computer science, engineering or another technical field.
• Cambridge O Levels or A Levels, or an equivalent.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, assessed with a written exercise.
• SQL and comfort analyzing large datasets to size the impact of a product change.
• Working knowledge of web and network fundamentals: IP addressing, HTTP, DNS, proxies.
• Comfortable working across time zones, with regular overlap with US business hours.

Preferred:

• A degree from an international university.
• Knowledge of COPPA, GDPR and other children's privacy rules, and experience turning them into product requirements.
• Ad tech experience: programmatic, CTV and mobile advertising, SSPs and DSPs.
• Familiarity with the MRC IVT guidelines and IAB Tech Lab standards (ads.txt, sellers.json, SupplyChain object).
• Experience running datafeeds, blocklists or APIs as products.
• Security certifications such as CISSP or CEH, or a CIPP privacy credential.
• Published blogs, reports or talks on fraud, security or privacy.
