Role Overview

As a Product Manager for GRC AI Agents, you will be at the forefront of a revolution in security compliance. Your mission is to build a new class of intelligent AI agents that will replace legacy GRC tools like Archer, ServiceNow GRC, and OneTrust. We are not just improving existing workflows; we are fundamentally reimagining how compliance and risk management are done in an AI-native world. You will own the product vision and roadmap, working directly with Fortune 500 customers, our engineering team, and the founder to build solutions that are orders of magnitude better than what exists today.

This role is based in our Palo Alto, CA office. We use an in-person work model and offer relocation assistance.

What You'll Do

• Define and Build AI Capabilities: Define and build the core features, capabilities, and end-to-end agentic workflows for our GRC AI agents. You will be responsible for designing how these agents function, from their user-facing interactions to the complex logic that drives them.

• Translate Vision into Actionable Plans: Own the product roadmap and clearly communicate the strategy and business impact to all stakeholders. Translate this roadmap into detailed product specifications, user stories, and requirements that empower the engineering team to build exceptional features and AI capabilities.

• Lead through Collaboration: Partner closely with engineering, GRC experts, and the founder to guide the development of complex AI systems from concept to launch.

• Engage Directly with Customers: Work hands-on with security and compliance leaders at Fortune 500 companies to deeply understand their pain points, validate product concepts, and ensure we are building transformative solutions.

Representative Projects

• Design and launch a "SOC 2 Agent" that automates evidence collection, control mapping, and continuous monitoring, providing a real-time view of compliance that makes annual audits trivial.

• Lead discovery interviews with 15 CISOs and Chief Risk Officers to define the requirements for a "Risk Management Agent" that can identify, assess, and quantify risk across the entire enterprise.

• Develop the end-to-end product specification for an agentic workflow that fully automates third-party risk management, from vendor onboarding and security assessments to continuous monitoring.

• Partner with our founding team to develop a five-year product strategy aimed at capturing the entire GRC market, starting with a wedge of unparalleled AI-driven automation.

What You Have

• Product Experience: 5+ years of product management experience, preferably in B2B SaaS.

• Domain Expertise: A strong understanding of the Security risk and compliance domain, including key frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST). Direct experience working as a GRC professional before moving into product is a significant plus.

• AI Passion and Vision: A genuine passion for AI and the ability to think creatively about how agentic workflows can solve complex enterprise problems. You don't just want to use AI; you want to build products that are only possible because of AI.

• Exceptional Communication: World-class communication skills, with the ability to distill complex ideas into simple concepts and build strong relationships with customers, engineers, and executives.

• Founder's Mentality: You are a proactive, "get-it-done" leader who is comfortable with ambiguity and thrives in a fast-paced, 0-to-1 environment.

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including, experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.

Equity: In addition to the base salary, equity may be part of the total compensation package.
