Do you live and breathe identity security, least‑privilege, and AI? Do you have a vision for how technology could make it dramatically easier for enterprises to understand “who can do what where” and keep privileges in check across hybrid environments—especially as agentic AI and non‑human identities explode? Semperis is seeking an experienced Product Manager to lead our Permissions & Delegation Hygiene (Least‑Privilege Enforcement) area. This is a high‑impact domain with fast‑growing customer demand: every organization in the world struggles with over‑permissioned accounts, complex delegations, AI‑driven automation, and hard‑to‑explain access paths. You can be the leader who turns that pain into a flagship, market‑leading product experience, using graph, analytics, and AI‑assisted workflows to help customers get to and stay at least‑privilege. If you bring real‑world experience in identity security, IAM, or privileged access—and strong instincts for where AI should automate and where humans must stay in the loop—you’ll immediately see the value of this space and know how to steer it. You’ll set product vision and strategy for this area, collaborate closely with engineering, design, and go‑to‑market partners, and work directly with customers to deliver solutions that reduce privilege sprawl for both human and machine identities. WHAT YOU'LL DO: - Define and execute the product strategy and roadmap for permissions and delegation hygiene, including how we leverage graph and AI to help customers understand effective access and clean it up safely. - Engage deeply with customers and prospects (CISOs, identity architects, AD/Entra/Okta owners, IAM/PAM teams) to understand their workflows around privilege management, service accounts, and AI/automation, and translate them into clear product priorities. - Collaborate closely with engineering and design to shape end‑to‑end experiences for understanding effective access, reducing excessive privilege, and supporting review and remediation workflows—with explainable, human‑in‑the‑loop AI assistance where it adds real value. - Partner with sales, marketing, and customer success on positioning, messaging, demos, and launches, acting as the subject‑matter expert for this product area. - Work with data/AI engineering teams to define and iterate on AI‑powered capabilities (e.g., risk scoring, recommendations, prioritization, copilots, or automation) while maintaining safety, transparency, and customer trust. - Conduct ongoing competitive and market analysis in identity security, IAM/IGA, PAM, and AI‑driven identity/agent governance to identify trends and opportunities, and use these insights to inform product decisions. - Manage the full product lifecycle—from concept and discovery through launch and post‑launch iteration—using data and customer feedback to guide continuous improvement. WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TABLE: - Proven ability to deliver effective technology solutions in complex B2B environments. - Demonstrated product management (or closely related) experience in software, with substantial time in security, identity, or infrastructure domains. - Strong domain experience in at least one of the following: 1- Identity security posture or ITDR. 2- IAM/IGA or directory services (e.g., Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta). 3- Privileged access management, least‑privilege enforcement, or delegation/role management. - Familiarity with non‑human identities and AI‑driven workloads (e.g., service principals, managed identities, API keys, agentic AI, automation frameworks) and how their permissions are governed. - Solid understanding of concepts like least‑privilege, role‑based access control, and effective rights in large enterprises, including how AI and automation can both reduce and amplify risk. - Demonstrated experience working on technically deep products in close partnership with senior engineers and architects, including some hands-on prototyping of workflows or product experiences using generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or similar); experience collaborating with data/ML/AI teams is a plus. - Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with a data‑driven approach to decision‑making. - Outstanding communication and presentation skills; able to convey complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and executive audiences.
