About Normalyze

Proofpoint and Normalyze, a leader in DSPM, have joined forces to discover, classify and protect data across SaaS, PaaS, multi-cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments. Backed by Battery and Lightspeed.

About the role

Proofpoint is scaling through both organic growth and acquisition, with a transformative acquisition signed. Leadership needs product-level growth plans that are credible, evidence-based, and reconciled to corporate targets, so that planning reviews are about tradeoffs and strategic choices rather than assembling plans in the room. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

  • Demonstrated success partnering with product or commercial leaders to build plans they own and defend, not plans built for them
  • Structured problem solving and the ability to turn ambiguous business questions into quantitative frameworks
  • Strong facilitation and communication skills, comfortable explaining assumptions and implications to executives
