Join Proton and build a better internet where privacy is the default

Proton was founded in 2014 by scientists from CERN on a simple truth: privacy is a fundamental human right.

In some situations, Proton has literally helped save lives!

We are profitable, independent (no VC control), and selectively hire from the top 1% of applicants. Our 600+ team members across 50+ countries come from leading organizations and elite academic backgrounds. We move fast, keep hierarchy light, and prioritize impact over optics.

• Experience and knowledge of French labour law (knowledge of other European locations a plus)
• Experience supporting Sales, Marketing, or GTM teams
• Strong experience in performance management, org design, and talent strategy
• Experience in high-growth or scaling companies
• Experience coaching and challenging senior leaders
• Ability to diagnose complex people and organizational issues
• Track record of solving people problems and improving team performance

• In-Person Collaboration: Amazing things happen when passionate, smart, and purposeful people get together in the same room.
• Food: Lunch and snacks are on us every day in our offices.
• Transport: getting to the office shouldn't cost you. We cover public transport, bike allowances, or parking, whichever works for you.
• Flexible Working: you own your schedule. Set hours that work for you and your team — because outcomes matter more than when the clock says you started.
