Product Design Manager

Welcome to the future of cloud networking and security!

Cato Networks is the first company to converge enterprise networking and security into one centralized and global service that is delivered by cloud. It is led by networking and security pioneer Shlomo Kramer (Check Point, Imperva) and early investor (Palo Alto Networks, Exabeem, Trusteer and more). Cato’s unique technology inspired a brand-new product category, later named “SASE” by Gartner and a market expected to reach $25 billion by 2027.

This is your opportunity to get on the rocket ship and join a company that is building a cutting-edge enterprise network and secure cloud platform, and is on a fast track to becoming the worldwide market leader – don’t miss it!

We’re looking for a Product Design Manager who will play a pivotal role in defining and driving the design vision for our products. You’ll lead a small but growing design team (1-2 designers at first), as part of the design group, own the end-to-end design process, and partner cross-functionally to deliver innovative, user-centric solutions that simplify the complexity of cybersecurity.

This is a unique opportunity to help shaping the design culture, grow a team, and directly influence products used by thousands of enterprises worldwide.
