What you'll bring to the role

• Professional Maturity & Experience: Demonstrated success operating at a Principal level within Product Management, Technical Program Management, or Enterprise Architecture. Experience in IAM technologies, developer platforms (like Auth0), enterprise security, or machine-to-machine infrastructure is highly valued, but your proven ability to lead through influence is paramount.

• Session Security & Threat Literacy: A strong technical understanding of modern identity threat vectors (AiTM phishing, info-stealer malware, session hijacking) and how cryptographic hardware-binding (TPM, Secure Enclave) protects session state.
• Strategic Influence: A track record of successfully influencing product roadmaps and engineering priorities across highly matrixed, global organizations without direct reporting authority.
• Navigating Ambiguity: Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills; the ability to maintain composure and produce concrete action plans from incomplete, conflicting, or highly ambiguous inputs.
• Executive Presence: Elite presentation, verbal, and written communication skills, with the confidence to brief executive leadership and translate deep technical architecture into compelling business value.
