Senior Product Manager, Security Products

Posted Aug 28

GitHub is changing the way the world builds and secures software, and we want you to help build GitHub! 

Our security products team works on tools that make it easy to find, fix and prevent security vulnerabilities, and are deploying them to millions of developers. We’re the people behind Dependabot, one of the most used software security products on the planet, and our mission is to make sure every developer can consume open source software safely. 

In this role, you will join our team of product managers focused on supply chain security–a rapidly developing segment of the application security market–and work on enhancing the scalability and features in our dependency graph. You should have a focus on building highly scalable platforms, passion for developers, and be comfortable working with enterprise and open source customers. 

Responsibilities

  • Own the product vision for a successful, widely-used product in the security space. Define the key customer pain points to be solved, and how GitHub will address these needs. Ensure that it aligns with the overall security product strategy and company vision, and help our customers succeed.
  • Become an expert on the domain, market, and trends in the space. Evangelize your vision so all stakeholders are aligned, have context and understand where we are going.
  • Engage with security teams at our top customers, identify opportunities to deliver value, and build relationships to better understand how to serve our users. Represent the customer and bring the customer’s voice into the creation process.
  • Manage the roadmap. Make tough tactical prioritization decisions and tradeoffs while helping the company think long-term. Build trust with stakeholders by maintaining an understandable, accurate roadmap.
  • Collaborate across teams. We win or lose as a team. Product managers play a critical role in creating alignment between engineering teams and stakeholders. A collaborative attitude is essential to the job.
  • Use data to inform decision making. Analyze data for trends and potential customer pain points, and use this to prioritize and inform how to improve the product. Go back to the data when needed to answer questions.
  • Measure success. Own the measures used to define success for your product. Success measures must be defined at the inception of a product and tracked throughout its lifecycle. Make measures visible to all stakeholders and interpret them into actionable conclusions and new hypotheses.
  • Develop new opportunities. With your finger on the pulse of the market, the customers and the engineering teams, you are uniquely positioned to discover and develop new opportunities.
  • Willingness to occasionally travel anywhere to our developer communities, staying productive and professional on the road.

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of engineering, developer evangelism, product management, program management, or equivalent experience with demonstrated ability to discover opportunities and define and deliver products.
  • Experience of building platform features across a product, deep understanding of administrator’s security needs in an enterprise. 
  • Experience building features for a cloud service at scale.
  • Experience working across organizations with Sales, Marketing, Support, Product, Engineering and Design.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong customer and stakeholder empathy and understanding.
  • Strong analytical capabilities, to decompose complex structures and data into useful primitives and analyses.
  • Previous experience with security products, teams, and processes.
  • Previous experience with open source project development, use, and consumption.
