Job Description

About Opal Security:

Identity is having a moment. Every company is deploying agents, spinning up service accounts, and realizing their IAM stack can't keep up. We're building AI-native security that scales with this chaos and companies like Databricks, Cloudflare, and Figma are betting on us to get it right.

You will define and lead Opal's product vision and strategy as our first Chief Product Officer. You'll build and scale our product organization, work directly with security and engineering teams at Fortune 500s and startups alike, understand their messy reality, and cement our position as the leader in AI-native IAM. You'll report directly to our CEO and serve on the executive leadership team, partnering closely with our CTO on technical strategy and our go-to-market leaders on positioning and growth.

Please note: We've built a team that works exceptionally well together and has fun doing so. We're looking to bring on new teammates who will both add to and grow with what we're building

Your Responsibilities:

  • Own Opal's product vision and multi-year strategy. Define where we play, how we win, and what makes us the definitive IAM platform.

  • Drive category creation and position Opal as the authorization intelligence layer for modern enterprises

  • Partner with CEO and executive team on company strategy

  • Own what we build and where we expand. Work directly with customers to validate direction, partner with engineering on technical strategy, and ensure our roadmap positions us to win.

  • Partner deeply with engineering to drive technical strategy, platform architecture, and engineering roadmap alignment.

  • Recruit, develop, and retain exceptional product talent as we scale.

What You Bring:

  • 12+ years in product management with at least 3+ years in product leadership roles (VP Product, Head of Product, or CPO)

  • Track record building and scaling product organizations through hypergrowth

  • Deep experience with highly technical products in security, infrastructure, or developer tools

  • Proven ability to drive category creation or significant market redefinition

  • Experience building 1-to-n products that became market leaders or category standards

  • Strong technical background - either CS degree or you categorize yourself as an honorary engineer who can hold their own with principal engineers

  • History of successful executive partnership, especially with Engineering and GTM leaders

  • Experience presenting to boards, investors, enterprise customers, and external audiences

Strongly Preferred:

  • Security or identity domain expertise (IAM, PAM, IGA, or adjacent spaces)

  • Platform product experience with API-first thinking

  • Enterprise SaaS experience selling to security buyers

  • Previous startup experience from early stage through scale

  • Track record of recruiting and developing exceptional product leaders
