Job summary

McAfee seeks a Senior Product Manager to own the customer identity platform and the end-to-end authentication experience. You will drive how millions create accounts, verify identity, sign in, stay signed in, and move across web, desktop, mobile, and partner ecosystems.

Identity sits at the intersection of platform, customer experience, growth, and security, with a mandate to build a scalable identity stack and measurable global outcomes.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product management experience.
• Strong technical fluency in authentication and identity: OAuth, OpenID Connect, SSO, MFA, identity verification, passkeys/FIDO2, session management, authentication architecture.
• Strong analytical mindset with hands-on experimentation and data-driven decisions.
• Track record improving conversion, completion, or adoption in a customer-facing funnel.
• Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and executive leadership without direct authority.
• Excellent communicator with strategy, alignment, and accountability.

Responsibilities

• Set the identity strategy and translate it into a prioritized roadmap with measurable quarterly goals across platform, experience, and growth.
• Drive platform modernization: lead authentication migrations and identity architecture work, and bring passkeys, passwordless, and modern standards into production at scale.
• Optimize the authentication experience to raise sign-in and sign-up conversion and reduce friction across markets, devices, and products, in close partnership with Design and Engineering.
• Grow authenticated, known customers by lowering authentication friction, improving login conversion, and expanding cross-device and returning-customer engagement.
• Run a rigorous experimentation program: A/B and multivariate testing of auth flows, verification steps, and recovery paths to continuously improve conversion and completion.
• Make the security / experience trade-offs demonstrating our Shield Above All value by deliberately protecting customers without adding friction that costs conversion or retention.
• Instrument the funnel end to end: define auth metrics, stand up telemetry and observability, and partner with Analytics on dashboards and deep funnel insight.
• Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Security, Design, Data, Customer Support, and Core Product to deliver cohesive identity experiences across the customer lifecycle.
• Report results transparently to leadership and drive alignment across a large set of stakeholders.
