[Hiring] Senior Product Manager, Identity and Access Management @8am

Role Description

8am is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own the strategy and roadmap for our Identity and Access Management platform. IAM is the foundational infrastructure for every product we build. It's how our customers sign in, how we keep their data secure, and how we manage what people can see and do across our products. This is a high-leverage role: the decisions you make about authentication, authorization, and identity infrastructure ripple across the entire company and directly affect security, compliance, and the day-to-day experience of every user who touches an 8am product.

You'll work closely with engineering, security, and platform teams to define what "good" looks like for identity at 8am, and you'll partner with product teams across the business who depend on IAM to build their own features safely and quickly.

This role is hired through an Employer of Record (EOR) partner in the Czech Republic.

What you'll do:

• Authentication & SSO: Own the roadmap for login flows, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, session management, and passwordless authentication. Balance security requirements with a frictionless user experience.
• Authorization & Permissions: Define and evolve our approach to role-based access control and fine-grained entitlements, ensuring permissions models scale cleanly across multiple products and customer segments.
• Platform & Infrastructure: Drive the strategy for the underlying identity platform (APIs, service-to-service auth, and integrations with internal services and third-party/partner systems) so other product teams can build on a reliable, well-documented identity layer.
• Translate security, compliance, and business requirements into a clear, prioritized roadmap, and communicate trade-offs to engineering leadership and stakeholders.
• Partner with engineering and security teams daily to scope, sequence, and ship IAM capabilities, from discovery through launch and iteration.
• Act as the internal expert on identity for other product teams, providing guidance on how to safely build features that depend on authentication or authorization.
• Define success metrics for the IAM platform (e.g., login success rate, MFA adoption, time-to-provision, incident rate) and use data to prioritize investment.
• Represent the voice of the customer and the needs of internal engineering consumers of the IAM platform in roadmap decisions.

Qualifications

• Robust 5+ years of product management experience, including meaningful time owning a platform, infrastructure, or security-adjacent product.
• Direct experience with identity and access management concepts: authentication protocols (OAuth, OIDC, SAML), SSO, MFA, session management, and authorization/RBAC models.
• Comfort operating in a technically complex domain.
• A track record of shipping platform capabilities that other internal teams build on, not just customer-facing features.
• Strong prioritization skills and the judgment to balance security/compliance requirements against speed and usability.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to explain technical identity concepts clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working with security and compliance teams (e.g., SOC 2, data privacy requirements) is preferred.
• Demonstrated experience leveraging AI tools and technologies to improve workflows, enhance decision-making, or drive innovation.

Benefits

• Performance bonus opportunities and employee referral rewards.
• Flexible Time Off (FTO) and 13 paid public holidays aligned with the Czech calendar.
• Paid sick leave with additional support through the Czech social security system.
• Maternity, paternity, and parental leave in line with Czech regulations, plus additional paid paternity leave from 8am.
• Full statutory benefits, including public health insurance, social security, pension, and work accident coverage.
• Access to Coursera (including Gen AI Academy) and ongoing professional development.
• Clear growth paths, regular feedback, and opportunities for advancement.
