The listing
Who are we?
At UpGuard, we are replacing manual security bottlenecks with AI-driven precision. Fresh off a US$75M Series C, we are scaling our infrastructure to process 100 billion risk signals daily. This isn’t just growth; it’s a total reimagining of how the world manages cyber risk.
We build the Cyber Risk Posture Management (CRPM) platform that security teams actually love. By integrating security ratings, threat intel, and agentic AI, we empower organisations to stay ahead of an ever evolving attack surface.
We aren’t just building another tool; we’re defining a category. We provide the autonomy to ship world-class technology and the resources to do it at a global scale.
Where does this role fit in?
As Lead Product Manager, you’ll own the strategy, the long-range plan and the investment case for a portfolio of product areas spanning multiple squads, and manage an autonomous and high-performing team of Senior Product Managers who are responsible for individual squad roadmaps. You’ll also have the opportunity to stay ‘on the tools’, with responsibility for your own squad of engineers and designers.
This is a new role for UpGuard, and represents our high velocity growth. We have always operated as a tight-knit team in a high-autonomy environment. Now we want to ensure that we have leadership in place ahead of our next milestone.

Build the product narrative for your squads, with oversight of revenue, engagement, retention and risk.
Partner with CPO/VP Product on strategic product decisions.
Responsible for long-term planning, investment and budget
Own the vision for a rolling quarterly plan against a two-to-three year product vision, and keep both current as the market moves.
Empower Senior Product Managers as decision-makers for the investments in their product areas.
Prioritise across competing areas and ensure products within your remit are well balanced to succeed.
Continuously improve on how we discover, prioritise and deliver product across UpGuard
Lead and grow product managers and managers

Represent UpGuard's product direction with customers, prospects and analysts.
What will you bring?
7-10 years of B2B SaaS product management experience, including 3+ years directly managing product teams.
A track record of owning strategy across more than one product area and turning it into measurable outcomes.
Experience defining, driving and advocating for complex product initiatives.
Excellent communication, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate with engineers and designers to create experiences that customers rave about.
What will give you an edge?
Experience or qualifications in security, GRC or compliance.
