Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.

We’re looking for a customer-obsessed product leader who is excited to bring their passion and skills to lead 1Password’s Authentication Team as a Staff Product Manager.

You lead by words and actions, guiding a trifecta of Design, Engineering, and Product leaders together to prioritize the most important customer problems. We’re looking for individuals that are deep experts on the identity and authentication stack in businesses. Extra points if you have a customer-facing background in support, sales, or customer success that brought you into Product.

Our philosophy on Product consists of five core pillars:

• Focus and Execution - can you ship quickly and measure results?

• Customer Empathy - are you motivated first and foremost to solve customer problems?

• Effective Communication - can you bring the entire organization - horizontally and vertically - along on the journey?

• Go To Market - can you understand and drive the business outcomes through product decisions?

• Technology - articulating how our technology beats our competitors

Product plays a highly visible role in the company and are critical to the development and execution of our product strategy. As a leader on the team, you must foster and establish excellent relations across all departments, and we’re expecting you to represent the company in public with executive decision-makers and media. You will be responsible for helping define and deliver 1Password’s product portfolio strategy, optimizing the product to meet the needs of our business buyers and be obsessed with the overall user experience. You will have corollaries in Engineering and Design that you’ll team up with to drive results across your team.

Join a fast-scaling business with a unique blend of consumer and enterprise customers that will be launching new products that you define.

How we’re using AI today

Our Engineering, Product, and Design teams are thoughtfully integrating AI across the full software and product development lifecycle to move faster without sacrificing quality or security. In practice, that looks like engineers using AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate reviews and catch bugs earlier, product managers synthesizing user research at scale, and designers rapidly prototyping and iterating with AI-generated mockups. We approach AI the same way we approach security: with clear principles, human accountability at every consequential decision point, and rigorous evaluation before anything ships to customers.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

What we're looking for:

• 8+ years of experience owning a product or a set of features focused on businesses of all sizes and being responsible for its ultimate success.

• Experience growing and measuring the authentication experience of a B2B SaaS product

• Proven success defining and delivering B2B SaaS products for Admin or IT personas in security or identity domains.

• Strong understanding of Identity and Access Management (IAM), and B2B products with large and complex infrastructure.

• A track record of planning with a vision over 18-24 months out with Founder-level insight into market dynamics.

• Represent the voice of the customer to motivate the team.

• Executive-level communication experience.

• Experience building a SaaS product sold to enterprise buyers - ideally CISO/CIO/CTO level.

• Ability to prioritize tasks and use data - both qualitative and quantitative - to drive decision-making.

• Excellent presentation skills and experience training internal teams as part of bringing products to market, particularly the sales, support and customer success teams.

What you can expect:

• Working with a passionate, highly motivated Product team that is invested in your success and the success of your initiatives.

• A dynamic, highly collaborative environment.

• Empowerment to contribute to, and help drive, overall product strategy and the relative priority of the features you own on the roadmap.

• Being a part of the team that drives the success of 1Password, our products and business to the next level.

• Having fun working in a fast-paced environment and being part of the team that prioritizes close collaboration over rigid processes, while continuously embracing an entrepreneurial culture.
