Product Manager, Security, Trust & Governance

Render is building a modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native applications. They are seeking an experienced Product Manager to own the security and trust domain, defining security capabilities and governance controls that meet customer needs while ensuring a seamless developer experience.

Responsibilities:

• Own the security product strategy at Render, defining which capabilities belong in the core platform versus add-on products, and how they evolve over time
• Define and deliver Render’s governance layer, including authentication and authorization (SSO/SAML, SCIM, RBAC, session management), compliance readiness (SOC 2, HIPAA), audit logging, and policy enforcement
• Drive exploration and development of emerging security areas such as supply chain security (build-time scanning), runtime workload protection, and safe governance of agent-driven workflows
• Work directly with customers, prospects, and GTM teams to understand security requirements and procurement blockers, translating insights into clear product priorities
• Partner closely with Render’s Security and Expansion teams, along with engineering counterparts, to shape the roadmap and share accountability for outcomes
• Ensure all security features balance strong protections with a seamless, developer-first experience
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner across product, engineering, security, and GTM teams to align priorities, drive execution, and deliver impactful security capabilities that build customer trust and unlock growth

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in Product Management, with significant exposure to security, identity, compliance, or infrastructure products
• Strong ability to think of security as a product domain, including strategy, segmentation, and monetization—not just a compliance requirement
• Deep familiarity with IAM concepts (SSO/SAML, SCIM, RBAC, OAuth) and working knowledge of compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR), including experience navigating security reviews and procurement processes
• Experience with at least one of the following: runtime security, supply chain security, or secure AI/agent governance
• Proven track record of turning ambiguous, cross-functional problem spaces into clear product strategies with measurable outcomes
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate between security/compliance concepts and developer/product needs
• Strong product intuition and passion for developer tools, with an understanding of how security features should feel for both administrators and developers
• Hands-on experience with identity providers such as Okta, Azure AD, or Google Workspace
• Previous experience at a PaaS, IaaS, or developer platform company (e.g., Heroku, Cloudflare, Vercel, AWS, GCP)
• Background in security engineering, infrastructure engineering, or governance, risk, and compliance (GRC)
• Experience building or managing products for regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, fintech, government)
• Familiarity with SIEM or log aggregation platforms and how customers consume audit data
