About the role
Principal Product Manager to shape security strategy across the company, partnering with Security Engineering and product teams to align security with product roadmaps, own an independent security roadmap, lead AI-era security strategy, balance risk and usability, engage with the security community, and raise the bar for security-focused product work.
Responsibilities
- Partner with product teams on security early. Work with PMs and feature teams to understand their upcoming roadmaps, identify security requirements and threat-model implications before designs are locked, and make sure those needs are visible, prioritized, and resourced.
- Align Security Engineering with product strategy. Translate feature-team needs into prioritized security work, and make Security Engineering's priorities legible to the rest of the company so tradeoffs are made in the open.
- Own an independent security roadmap. Set direction for platform-level security investments, such as key management and recovery, the cryptographic foundations of our zero-knowledge architecture, authentication, and our long-term readiness for post-quantum cryptography.
- Lead our strategy for the AI era. Define how 1Password approaches agentic access to credentials, secrets for non-human identities and AI agents, and the trust models emerging around tools and protocols like MCP.
- Balance risk and usability with evidence. Help security engineers weigh real-world risk against user friction, using adoption, support, and telemetry data alongside threat models. Shipping with accepted, documented residual risk is sometimes the right call, and you'll help us make and defend those decisions.
- Represent 1Password to the security community. Engage with security researchers and our bug bounty program, speak at conferences, and contribute to the wider conversation about where credential security is heading.
- Raise the bar for product work. Coach PMs on security thinking, challenge assumptions constructively, and set the standard for how security-critical product work gets done.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of product management experience, including significant time on security-critical products or platforms in a SaaS environment. Exceptional candidates with equivalent depth (e.g., security engineers or researchers who moved into product) will be considered.
- Deep, demonstrable knowledge of security fundamentals: cryptography, authentication protocols, identity and access management, zero-knowledge and end-to-end encrypted system design, and threat modeling.
- Fluency in the credential and identity landscape, including passkeys, WebAuthn/FIDO, and related standards.
- Credibility with security engineering teams and ability to read and reason through technical specifications, security audits, and cryptographic design documents.
- Experience making and defending risk-based tradeoffs and explaining them clearly to engineers, executives, and customers.
- History of shipping security features that users adopt, and using data to improve them.
- Experience setting strategy at platform/infrastructure level and influencing roadmaps without formal authority.
- Strong communication skills capable of scaling from technical security research to executive briefings.
