Principal Product Manager

About the Role

This is a senior, cross-cutting Principal PM role. Rather than owning a single fixed surface, this person will operate across the identity, policy, admin, and AI-governance landscape — going deep where the leverage is highest at any given moment. The precise scope is intentionally not fixed yet: the right candidate helps us shape it, and we expect it to evolve as the strategy and the org mature.
Because this is a broad, ambiguous, high-leverage role, the day-to-day will vary. Over time, this person is likely to take on a mix of activities such as:

• Owning ambiguous, cross-cutting problems that don't sit cleanly inside one existing team's remit — e.g., the seams between identity, policy, admin, and AI governance where no one owns the outcome end-to-end.
• Driving strategy and technical product direction for foundational primitives (identity, permissions, policy, scoped tokens, agent governance) that many downstream surfaces depend on.
• Partnering deeply with engineering across teams whose ownership is split — aligning multiple eng groups around a coherent product direction rather than a stack of bolt-ons.
• Shaping and sequencing hard platform tradeoffs — substrate before surface, migration-blocking before net-new, one fabric with no parallel surfaces.
• Working cross-org with adjacent teams (Identity/NHI, Trust, Audit Log Platform, DLP/Detection, Central AI, Frontier) where our work shows up as a dependency in both directions.
• Wedge-driven delivery — standing up end-to-end scenarios that force a pattern into existence with real customer usage, then extending surface by surface.
• Representing the team with enterprise customers and internal stakeholders on the hardest identity, access, and AI-governance questions.

What We’re Looking For

• A Principal-level product manager comfortable operating with significant ambiguity and defining their own scope in partnership with leadership.
• Depth in platform / infrastructure product management — identity, access management, security, policy, or a closely related domain (bonus for IAM, IdP/SCIM, authorization/PDP, or AI/agent governance experience).
• Strong technical fluency — able to earn the trust of senior engineers and architects and reason about foundational primitives, not just surfaces.
• A track record of owning cross-cutting, multi-team problems where ownership is fragmented and no single team has the full picture.
• Ability to turn strategy into sequencing — making principled tradeoffs about what ships first and why.
• Enterprise and customer instincts — able to translate deep platform work into outcomes a CISO, admin, or auditor cares about.
• A bias toward wedge-first delivery over framework-first platform work with no concrete user.
