Our mission is to bring intelligence to the world of content management and empower our customers to completely transform workflows across their organizations. With the combination of AI and enterprise content, the opportunity has never been greater to transform how the world works together and at Box you will be on the front lines of this massive shift. WHY BOX NEEDS YOU As a Staff Product Manager for AI Security, you will be the strategic product leader responsible for defining and executing the product vision and roadmap to secure agentic AI capabilities, autonomous workflows, and generative AI integrations across the Box Intelligent Content Management platform. As enterprise AI evolves from single-prompt interactions to multi-agent architectures and autonomous agentic workflows, securing enterprise content against novel AI threats is a top priority for CISOs and security leaders worldwide — and existential to Box's mission. In this high-impact individual contributor role, you will build and scale defense mechanisms for both Box's native agentic capabilities — including Box Agent — and external integrations connecting third-party agents and foundation models via Model Context Protocol (MCP) and enterprise APIs. You will partner closely with world-class AI/ML engineers, security architects, red-team researchers, and corporate security teams to translate the bleeding edge of AI threat intelligence into robust, scalable platform guardrails and enterprise security controls. WHAT YOU'LL DO You will define and execute the product strategy, technical vision, and roadmap for AI Security and Agentic Guardrails across Box AI, Box Shield, and the broader Box platform ecosystem. You will build agent guardrail frameworks and policy engines to monitor, evaluate, and constrain autonomous agent behaviors across Box Agent, custom workflow agents, and external model integrations. You will secure agentic connectivity powered by Model Context Protocol (MCP) and third-party AI APIs, establishing strict authentication, context boundary isolation, dynamic permissioning, and secure tool execution. You will architect multi-layered defenses against advanced AI threats, including direct and indirect prompt injection, jailbreaking, training data extraction, system prompt leakage, and coordinated agentic attack swarms. You will partner with Engineering, Applied AI/ML Research, Security Architecture, and UX Design to deliver low-latency, enterprise-grade AI security controls that preserve developer velocity and user experience. You will drive key business and security efficacy metrics, including guardrail evaluation accuracy, prompt injection prevention rates, MCP integration adoption, and Shield / Enterprise Plus security revenue growth. You will collaborate with Product Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and Compliance to lead GTM strategy and position Box as the gold standard in safe, trusted Enterprise Agentic AI. You will engage directly with enterprise customers, AI security working groups, and industry analysts to anticipate evolving AI attack vectors, validate product requirements, and guide industry best practices. WHO YOU ARE We are an AI-first company. This means you approach your work with a growth mindset and find ways to leverage AI to help make faster, smarter decisions that will 10X your impact at Box. You have 8+ years of product management experience building and scaling enterprise B2B SaaS security products, cybersecurity platforms, cloud security solutions, or AI/ML infrastructure platforms. You bring deep domain expertise in AI/ML security, LLM application security (e.g., OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications), prompt injection defense, agentic guardrail frameworks, or model alignment and safety systems. You have a proven track record developing product strategies around agentic architectures, multi-agent coordination, tool-use and function-calling security, or model integration protocols such as Model Context Protocol (MCP). You have a strong understanding of emerging threat vectors targeting autonomous AI systems, including multi-turn adversarial attacks, indirect injection via ingested content, and coordinated agentic attack swarms. You have the technical acumen to partner with AI/ML research and engineering leaders on vector embeddings, semantic evaluation models, LLM latency trade-offs, API gateway security, and zero-trust data access control. You have exceptional analytical capability to define guardrail telemetry, track threat mitigation efficacy, and balance strict safety barriers with responsive AI interactions, along with proven executive presence to influence C-level security leaders and align cross-functional stakeholders. Preferred Skills Experience working with frontier AI/LLM models, prompt evaluation frameworks, red-teaming AI systems, or developing real-time guardrail runtime libraries (e.g., NeMo Guardrails, Llama Guard, or proprietary guardrail pipelines). Hands-on familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol), agent orchestration frameworks, or semantic router architectures. Familiarity with enterprise compliance standards, zero-trust architectures, data loss prevention (DLP), or AI governance frameworks (e.g., NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001). Technical background with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
