- Collaborate with engineering on technical roadmap, from authentication & access flows to developer-facing APIs
- Write product requirements documents (PRDs), outline early concepts with design & engineering, and break the work into small, clear steps the team can deliver one at a time
- Use customer interviews, product analytics & experiments to help direct investment appropriately
- Partner with design, security & data teams, and gather feedback from internal stakeholders & customers
Required Qualifications:
- 6-8+ years of product management experience, including owning a roadmap & its outcomes for an engineering team
- Ability to leverage data to make tough prioritization calls
- Strong customer instincts, including proactive communication, expectation management, & a service-oriented mindset with internal and/or external customers
- Technical depth to partner credibly with engineers (APIs, authentication, SSO or similar)
- Experience using data, experiments & customer feedback to improve adoption, activation or retention
- Experience writing PRDs & managing work in Jira
- Hands-on experience running customer research & interviews
- Strong written & verbal communication skills, including the ability to deliver difficult news when necessary, while demonstrating empathy
- Self-starter who can own initiatives end-to-end
- Ability to obtain and maintain a top secret security clearance
- Experience a new product or major capability, from concept to adoption
- Experience running A/B tests and improving a team’s delivery speed or process
- Experience with identity, security, API or developer-facing products, especially access-request or governance platforms that are configured to fit a company is preferred
- Experience reducing operational or support load through product improvements is preferred
- Familiarity with AI-powered integrations, MCP or LLM-based product features is highly preferred
