Summary

This role is designed for a high-level product leader who thrives at the intersection of cybersecurity and developer workflows. The ideal candidate has a deep technical background in DevSecOps and is well-versed in the "Software Supply Chain" (SBOMs, SLSA frameworks, and provenance). Since this is a **Staff-level** position, you should be comfortable not just managing a backlog, but defining the vision for a high-stakes, billion-dollar market opportunity within a globally distributed, asynchronous environment. The biggest draws are the **fully remote flexibility** and the chance to own a high-visibility "zero-to-one" product line. You will be building a new add-on from the ground up to help enterprise and government clients meet urgent regulatory mandates. Note: The listed compensation of $3k–$8k/year appears to be a **clerical error** in the listing; for a Staff PM role at a major SaaS firm, you should expect a competitive six-figure salary plus significant equity and growth funds. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have successfully shipped complex security products or B2B SaaS tools for developers. * Can explain technical concepts like "artifact signing" or "dependency firewalls" to both engineers and C-suite executives. * Excel in an asynchronous work culture where AI is used as a daily productivity multiplier. * Are passionate about protecting the global software ecosystem from high-profile supply chain attacks.

## An overview of this role

GitLab is expanding its Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) offering to address a massive market opportunity: a $3-8B market with 85% enterprise adoption projected by 2028. Regulatory mandates (EO 14028, EU Cyber Resilience Act) and widespread supply chain attacks like SolarWinds and Shai-Hulud are creating an urgent need for a new type of security.

As Staff Product Manager for Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS), you'll lead the strategy and delivery of a new product line that secures everything around the code, not just the code itself. You'll own a suite of product pillars across the software supply chain, including provenance, attestation, signing and verification, SBOM, malicious package detection, and a dependency firewall. Reporting into the Security & Compliance product area, you'll work closely with engineering, UX, and cross-functional partners to turn complex concepts like the SLSA framework into clear, valuable capabilities. These capabilities will help customers measure and improve the integrity of their CI/CD pipelines, dependencies, and registries. You'll prioritize and turn these pillars into clearly defined product offerings. You'll also define and validate the business cases and collaborate directly with customers to shape a coherent, differentiated supply chain security offering within the GitLab platform.

## What you’ll do

Lead the end-to-end product strategy for the Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) add-on, defining and evolving the vision across its main pillars.

Drive discovery, prioritization, and delivery for capabilities such as dependency firewall, SBOM, malicious package detection, and provenance/attestation, based on customer needs and business impact.

Collaborate with engineering managers and engineers to break down complex supply chain security concepts into clear requirements and iterative roadmaps.

Partner with cross-functional stakeholders in sales, customer success, and support to understand use cases, validate demand (for example, large ACV opportunities), and enable successful adoption.

Engage directly with customers and prospects to explain SSCS and SLSA framework concepts in accessible language, gather feedback, and translate it into product improvements.

Analyze market trends and competitive offerings in software composition analysis (SCA), software supply chain security, and related areas to inform positioning and backlog decisions.

Define and track product success signals and operational metrics for the SSCS add-on, using data to guide trade-offs and communicate outcomes to leadership.

Represent the SSCS domain internally as a subject matter expert, creating simple visuals, narratives, and documentation that help teams across GitLab understand the value and direction of the product.

## What you’ll bring

Product management experience owning complex security products, with a focus on software supply chain security or adjacent areas.

Knowledge of software supply chain concepts such as provenance, attestation, signing and verification, and experience with frameworks like SLSA.

Experience with dependency risk and software composition analysis (SCA), including working with or around dependency scanning, SBOM, and related tooling.

Ability to translate highly technical topics into clear, value-focused narratives for different audiences, including customers and non-technical stakeholders.

Experience collaborating with engineering, UX, and cross-functional partners to define roadmaps and ship iterative product improvements.

Background in security, DevSecOps, or developer-focused products, or transferable experience in similarly technical B2B SaaS domains.

Openness to learning new technologies and frameworks in the supply chain security space, and to contributing effectively in a globally distributed, asynchronous team environment.

## About the team

The Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) team builds and maintains capabilities that help GitLab customers establish trust throughout their software delivery pipeline. The team works with engineering resources and leadership support, collaborating closely with you as the Product Manager for SSCS, and partnering with TPM support for execution. The team works in an all-remote, asynchronous way across regions, partnering with other security product teams like Secret Manager and Vulnerability Management when supply chain security intersects with their features. Current focus areas include launching the SSCS offering with core capabilities like Dependency Firewall, Build Provenance, and Artifact Signing, targeting Premium and Ultimate customers in regulated industries (Federal, financial services, healthcare), and positioning SSCS to address regulatory mandates like EO 14028 and the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
