Job description

About Venn

Venn is the leader in workspace security for remote and contractor workforces. Built on Venn's patented technology, Blue Border™ protects company data, applications, and AI workflows on any computer, without VDI and without fully managing the endpoint. Installing Blue Border creates a company-controlled secure enclave directly on the user's Mac or PC. All business activity, including data, applications, networking, and AI workflows, runs locally and stays isolated from personal use, while everything outside the enclave remains private. Blue Border gives IT a simpler, device-agnostic way to secure remote work, enable contractor and BYOD workforces, govern AI usage, and replace VDI. More than 700 security and compliance-driven organizations, including Fidelity, Guardian, Whatnot, and the IMF, trust Venn to meet HIPAA, FINRA, SEC, NAIC, SOC 2, PCI, and GDPR standards.

The Opportunity

This is a startup-within-a-startup. You'll be the first PM dedicated to Venn's developer market — building for developers as buyers, not just end users forced onto IT's tool. You'll own the outcome, not just the roadmap: Venn's proven tech and team are behind you, but the strategy, the metrics, and the GTM motion are yours to define.

What You'll Do

• Own the product strategy for this market: who we're building for, what problems we solve, how we're differentiated
• Lead market and customer discovery with developers, engineering leaders, and security teams to find real signal
• Test hypotheses around buyers, pricing, and packaging — iterate fast
• Build and drive the roadmap, translating customer insight into a prioritized backlog
• Partner with sales and leadership to shape GTM: positioning, pricing, and the sales motion for a new buyer
• Define what success looks like and track the signals that tell us the market bet is working

What You Bring

• 4+ years in product management, with real 0-to-1 or early-market experience
• Background at a developer-focused company where devs were the buyer, not just the user (Snyk, GitHub, GitLab, Docker, HashiCorp, or similar)
• Hands-on developer background — comfortable in the terminal, in Git, across Windows/Mac/Linux
• Genuine empathy for the developer persona — a commitment to low-friction, high-value tools, not tools built for whoever signs the check
• Comfort being measured by adoption and business outcomes, not roadmap output
• Experience with PLG motions, pricing, and packaging for technical buyers

Why You'll love Working Here

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support our team’s health, well-being, and work-life balance, including:

• Competitive compensation and commission opportunities
• Equity at Venn
• Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
• Healthcare FSA, HSA, and commuter benefits
• Unlimited paid time off, paid sick time, NYSE company holidays, and a paid birthday off

The opportunity to be part of a fast-growing startup with a collaborative, high-impact team where every voice is valued and there are clear paths for growth and promotion

We operate with Trust, Humility, Relationships, Innovation, Vigor, and Empowerment and we look for teammates who do the same!
