Principal Product Manager

Why This Role Matters

Identity is the control plane of modern zero trust security, and Access Management is at its very core. Every application, workload, and AI agent now asks the same question before anything else happens: who is this user, and should they be granted access? Access Management is where these question gets answered, thousands of times per second, for organizations that cannot afford to get it wrong. Today, a confluence of market forces—including emerging anti-phishing mandates, sophisticated AI-powered threats, and the rise of agentic and other non-human identities—are dramatically reshaping the Access Management landscape and opening new opportunities for innovation and growth.

RSA ID Plus sits at the center of this market shift. Recognized as a leading Access Management solution with more than 3000 customers in 100+ countries worldwide, RSA ID Plus is trusted by the world’s most security-sensitive organizations including 70% of Fortune 100 Financial Services, 90% of US Federal Agencies, and more that 65 International Governments around the globe. What makes RSA different is our cybersecurity DNA, 40+ years of redefining the identity security market, and our laser focus on securing the world’s most secure. RSA ID Plus is the only identity platform that provides true passwordless from cloud to desktop to the datacenter, ensures continuous assurance beyond phishing to tackle today’s most advanced identity threats, and can be deployed in any environment including multi-tenant SaaS, private cloud, on-premises, and even air-gapped environments.

Job Description

This Principal Product Manager will own key areas for ID Plus and play a significant role in defining the roadmap and strategy for the platform. The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, translating market and customer insight into crisp requirements, sequencing tradeoffs, and driving execution from concept through release.

The successful candidate must be an experienced product leader with a strong track record of delivering complex, enterprise-grade SaaS and on-premises software, as well as deep subject matter expertise in Identity and Access Management. They must be able to draw sound insights from limited data, advocate for the product with customers, analysts, executives, and engineers, and thrive as a self-motivated leader on a large cross-functional team, leading through influence rather than authority.

The successful Principal Product Manager will:

• Define a winning plan that balances long-term strategy with short-term customer needs and capitalizes on emerging identity trends.

• Manage the entire product lifecycle, cradle-to-grave, owning roadmap execution through requirements definition, market-based prioritization, and daily collaboration with engineering scrum teams.

• Partner closely with engineering and architecture on design tradeoffs, non-functional requirements, and release planning across SaaS and on-premises delivery.

• Stay in direct contact with customers, prospects, and the field, turning discovery, escalations, and product telemetry into a defensible view of what to build next.

• Work with other product managers to ensure alignment across the ID Plus suite and RSA's broader security initiatives.

• Partner with Product Marketing and Program Management on messaging, go-to-market plans, and key performance indicators for the product.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product management experience building enterprise-grade software, including both multi-tenant SaaS and on-premises products.

• Demonstrated subject matter expertise in Identity & Access Management principles, including major technology standards in authentication (NIST SP800-63, FIDO2, X.509), federation and authorization (SAML, OAuth 2.0, OIDC), and emerging technologies (SSF, Verifiable Credentials).

• Proven leadership, with a track record of leading through influence across engineering, marketing, sales, and executive stakeholders without direct authority.

• Strong technical aptitude, able to hold a credible architectural conversation with engineers and translate customer use cases into clear requirements.

• Superior written and verbal communication skills, equally effective in a customer briefing, an analyst discussion, and a backlog grooming session.

• Hands-on experience as a product owner within Agile SAFe development methodologies on large-scale engineering programs.

• Independent self-starter who sets direction in ambiguity, with a track record of exceptional performance and consistent professional growth.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Computer Science; MBA a plus.
