Staff Product Manager

Mission

As a Staff Product Manager at Opaque, you’ll help shape the future of Confidential AI. You’ll work hands-on to identify customer problems and opportunities, propose and validate ideas, define scope and requirements, drive execution, and measure impact across enterprise use cases.

About This Role

You’ll report directly to the CTO and be responsible for delivering product initiatives that are already in motion while shaping what comes next based on insights from customer needs, technical feasibility, and product performance. You’ll work closely with engineering and design to ensure we’re building the right things — and building them right — for enterprise customers adopting secure AI workflows.

Responsibilities

• Drive near-term execution of our product roadmap, while informing future strategy through customer and market insights.
• Work closely with Engineering to define and prioritize features, triage issues, and maintain delivery momentum.
• Own cross-functional planning with engineering, design, and the broader product team to align on quarterly goals and milestones.
• Partner with Product Design on discovery, user research, and iterative prototyping to ensure we are building what’s desirable and viable.
• Communicate roadmap and product decisions to internal stakeholders and customers in both written and live formats.
• Ruthlessly prioritize across input sources (customer feedback, stakeholder input, technical constraints) and make confident product calls.
• Champion execution by holding teams accountable and keeping workstreams aligned across product, design, and engineering.

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of relevant product management experience, with a strong preference for work in enterprise software, data platforms, AI / ML, or data privacy.
• Proven ability to deliver product execution independently—you move fast, untangle ambiguity, and drive results without needing coaching.
• Strong technical fluency—comfortable digging into architecture, APIs, and data workflows, even if not writing code.
• Ability to quickly onboard into new technical contexts, ask smart questions, and identify what’s truly important.
• Demonstrated experience with user discovery, shipping iteratively, and owning KPIs from definition to tracking.
• Strong communicator—able to clearly explain tradeoffs, customer impact, and product plans to both internal and external audiences.
• Prior startup or high-growth company experience serving enterprise customers is strongly preferred. Candidates with only consumer or SMB backgrounds are unlikely to be a fit.
