About this role
Chainguard is the trusted source for open source software, delivering hardened and secure builds for organizations. They are seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the product strategy and execution for Chainguard's Unified Repository, focusing on enhancing developer experience and driving product-led growth.
Responsibilities:
- Define and drive the roadmap for the Unified Repository across a rapidly expanding artifact scope
- Make deliberate sequencing calls that balance enterprise requirements, developer adoption, and platform scale
- Own the milestone framework from initial launch through enterprise GA
- Build a product-led growth motion that earns developer adoption early and converts to paid over time
- Design free, pay-as-you-go, and enterprise tiers so top-of-funnel activation is high and upgrade paths feel natural
- Sweat onboarding, habitual usage, and every point of friction
- Partner with Engineering, Experience, and GTM to move fast without breaking trust
- Drive resolution on the hard questions — and pull the right people in at the right time
- Ship the features enterprise customers need to adopt Chainguard with confidence
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with GTM and prioritize against real market urgency, not internal preference
Requirements:
- 5+ years of PM experience, with a track record in developer tools, infrastructure, or security
- Shipped PLG or developer-facing products with both free and enterprise tiers
- Working knowledge of the software supply chain — package managers, registries, artifact management, OSS distribution
- Comfortable with ambiguity; can make sequencing calls and defend them
- Strong cross-functional operator who can align engineering, design, sales, and legal around one roadmap
- Zero-to-one experience with real customer discovery and iterative validation
- Technical credibility — you don't need to write code, but you can hold your own with engineers on infrastructure, security, and developer tooling
- Hands-on experience with a major package ecosystem (npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, etc.)
- Background in security, compliance, or enterprise platform products
- Prior work on registries, artifact stores, or developer onboarding flows
- Familiarity with usage-based / consumption pricing models
