Product Marketing Manager

Job Description

About the job
Opal Security is redefining identity security for modern enterprises. The concept of least privilege access is well understood in theory but very hard in practice. We’ve all felt the pain of not getting the access we need to do our job – and security teams feel the pain of either being a bottleneck or authorizing everyone at the expense of risk. At Opal, we’re solving this critical problem to make least privilege not only possible but practical. We are taking an age-old problem in enterprise software and making it simple. Our product prioritizes consumer-grade simplicity with enterprise scale, reliability, and security. Our customers love our product, and it is leveraged by amazing companies like ScaleAI, Grammarly, Databricks, and Figma.

You’ll join a proven go-to-market team with experience growing cutting edge security and technology businesses at companies like Snyk, Aqua, Rubrik, Harness and SailPoint. On the back of this experience and our success to date, we’ve raised over $32M from leading investors, including Greylock and Battery Ventures. Join us as we build the next generation identity security company!
