Group Product Manager, Software Supply Chain Trust

Cloudsmith•New York, NY

About The Position

We're seeking a product leader to own the vision and direction of our Software Supply Chain Trust product area - a domain at the heart of our product strategy - and to help shape what great product leadership looks like at Cloudsmith. Cloudsmith is the world’s most powerful artifact management platform. Software organizations of all sizes rely on Cloudsmith to control and secure their software supply chains. Cloudsmith allows customers to manage curated private repositories that proxy public open-source software registries. Developers use these repositories as their trusted source for build artifacts. We support over 30 formats, including most popular languages, package managers, operating systems, and AI and container protocols. We’re aimed at the enterprise, with built-in comprehensive security and advanced features for policy enforcement, integrations, and observability. Customers consider Cloudsmith to be critical infrastructure as a central part of their software build chain. Cloudsmith is built by developers, for developers. We treasure the developer experience. The Tao of Cloudsmith expresses the values we live by every day. This is a special company, and now is a great time to join us. The product team at Cloudsmith is small, deliberate, and deeply invested in the craft. We care about doing product well — not just shipping things, but understanding the problem space, building real relationships with customers and engineers, and making decisions we can stand behind. The way software is built has changed faster in the last two years than in the previous ten. AI-generated code, expanding dependency graphs, and accelerating release cycles have made software supply chain security one of the most consequential problems in enterprise technology. Cloudsmith is uniquely positioned to help organisations navigate this, and the Software Supply Chain Trust tribe is where that work is led. The Group PM coming into this role will sharpen how we take that opportunity to market: evolving the product strategy, engaging directly with customers and prospects, and helping the industry understand what great looks like in this space. This is a new role, created because the domain has grown to the point where it deserves dedicated senior leadership.

Requirements

8+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead PM role managing complex, multi-squad product areas
A track record of setting product vision and strategy in a technical domain, not just executing on someone else’s roadmap
A demonstrable interest in people development, whether through formal management, mentoring, or how you've shown up for colleagues and junior PMs around you
Deep understanding of how software is built, how it moves through pipelines, and how traceability and dependency relationships work
Familiarity with enterprise software delivery: how large engineering organisations consume, govern, and distribute software artifacts
Enough fluency in vulnerability management, package formats, and supply chain integrity to hold your own in technical conversations from day one
Comfortable advising senior engineering stakeholders and influencing without authority
Strong written and verbal communicator who can translate complex technical problems into clear product narratives
Experience working across distributed, remote-first teams
Curiosity over certainty: You go deep on problems before jumping to solutions, and you’re genuinely interested in the domain
Directness with care: You say what you think, give honest feedback, and create space for others to do the same
Craft and rigour: You care about doing product well, not just doing product fast
Builder’s mindset: You’re comfortable with ambiguity and energised by the chance to shape something that’s still being defined
Invested in people: You know that the best product work comes from strong teams, and you take that seriously

Responsibilities

Set and maintain a coherent product vision across Policies, Continuous Security and Provenance, and make sure the three squads are pulling in the same direction
Own the tribe’s roadmap and make the prioritisation calls when squads are in tension
Act as the senior product voice in conversations with the senior technology leadership team
Take direct ownership of one or more squads — their roadmap, their stakeholders, and their customer conversations
Go deep on the domain: understand the technical landscape, the customer problems, and the competitive context well enough to make sharp product decisions
Build and maintain strong relationships with the enterprise engineering organisations we serve
Advise customers on how to approach software supply chain security — you’ll need the credibility and the depth to do this well
Partner closely with go-to-market teams to sharpen how we talk about this space externally
Manage and develop the PM reporting into you, helping them grow in their role and achieve their career goals
Help define what great product leadership looks like at each level across the team
Model the standard, not by telling people what good looks like, but by showing them
