Senior Product Manager, Identity & Authentication Platform BU

Heres a summary of the role:

Identity infrastructure is notglamourware. Itdoesntget standing ovations at company all-hands. But it is the thing every product in the portfolio depends on and when it breaks everyone knows. Ifyourethe kind of PM who finds that genuinely interesting read on.

This role is for someone who has lived inside SAML flows argued over PKCE token lifetimes and knows exactly why SSO bypass lists are a necessary compromise.Youllown the authentication platform that thousands of enterprise customers trust andyoullshape it alongside engineers who go deep. No surface-level roadmap ownership here.

Heresa breakdown of whatyoulldo (not all of it just the important stuff)

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for core authentication flows: SAML 2.0 OIDC/OAuth 2.0 with PKCE MFA enforcement token lifecycle management and multi-IdP federation.
• Make product decisions that sit at the intersection of system design security architecture and developer experience working directly with senior engineers on protocol choices and infrastructure trade-offs.
• Drive adoption of platform identity capabilities across internal engineering teams through influence moving products toward modern API patterns and away from legacy integration surfaces.
• Use AI coding tools (Claude Code Cursor or similar) to prototype ideas andvalidateconcepts before you pitch them; this is expected not optional.
• Track the IAM standards landscape including passkeys FIDO2 SCIM zero-trust and verifiable credentials and use that knowledge to sharpen product direction.
• Translate complex authentication concepts (JWT structures SAML assertions PKCE handshakes) into clear specs user stories and prioritized backlogs for audiences from engineers to executives.

These are the essentialsyoullneed to get an interview

• Hands-on knowledge of SAML 2.0 OIDC OAuth 2.0 PKCE JWT MFA/TOTP and SSO federation;youvemade production decisions with these not just read about them.
• Experience owning IAM products developer-facing identity platforms or authentication infrastructure in a SaaS environment.
• 3 - 7 years of product management experience on technically complex platform or infrastructure products.
• Comfort with access control concepts: RBAC ABAC scopes entitlements and user provisioning and deprovisioning flows.
• Experience in a platform or shared services context where your customers are internal engineering teams.
• Familiarity with enterprise IdP ecosystems such as Okta Azure AD Ping Identity or Google Workspace.
• An active AI-native work style; you already use AI tools to investigate systems prototype integrations and close the feedback loop with engineering faster.

It would be great if you had these too butwellsupport you if youdont

• Exposure to GovCloud or regulated multi-region authentication environments.
• Experience conducting technical teardowns of identity platforms (Auth0 Azure Entra ID Ping Identity) to inform product strategy.
• Familiarity with verifiable credentials FIDO2/passkeys oremergingzero-trust IAM patterns.
