Staff Product Manager
SnykWhy this role?
Snyk’s Incubation Accelerator is seeking a Staff Product Manager to join our team building transformative products from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to shape early-stage product bets at Snyk, operating with the agility of a startup while leveraging the scale, infrastructure, and customer base of an industry leader.
As a Staff Product Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in discovering, validating, and scaling new product opportunities. You will partner with incubation engineers, design, and go-to-market teams to take new ideas from concept to product-market fit. Unlike traditional PM roles focused on scaling existing products, this role thrives in ambiguity and zero-to-one environments.
What You’ll Do
Own the Investment Thesis: Partner with engineers, design, and customers to identify high-potential opportunities in AI security and beyond, define market size, competitive landscape and the right to win for new product bets.
Validate Problem-Solution Fit: Design lean experiments, MVPs, and prototypes to quickly validate customer problems and solution approaches.
Shape Product Strategy: Define and evolve the vision, positioning, and roadmap for incubation initiatives, balancing short-term experiments with long-term strategic bets.
Customer Engagement: Work closely with design partners, early adopters, and Snyk customers to deeply understand their workflows and validate new product hypotheses.
End-to-End Ownership: Take incubation products from zero-to-one, from concept to product market fit.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with engineering, design, marketing, and sales to ensure alignment on product direction and learnings.
Scale Learnings: Share insights and frameworks across the wider Snyk product org to accelerate incubation success and inform core product strategy.
Represent Incubations: Present roadmap, strategy, and early results to customers, leadership, and internal stakeholders, influencing Snyk’s broader innovation agenda.
What You Bring
8+ years of experience in technology (product management or engineering), including at least 4 years in a product management role.
Strong technical background with the ability to engage deeply with engineering and AI/ML concepts.
Comfort with high ambiguity, with the ability to design frameworks and execute effectively in fast-moving, uncertain environments.
Strong discovery skills: deep experience with user research, design partner programs, and iterative validation.
Excellent communication and storytelling skills to influence across teams, leadership, and customers.
Proven track record of taking early-stage products from concept to launch, ideally within SaaS or developer tooling.
It’d Be Awesome If You Also…
Have experience in developer security, AI/ML products, or agentic systems.
Have worked as a software engineer in the past.
Have worked in an internal incubator, venture studio, or startup environment.
Have successfully partnered with enterprise customers as design partners for new product validation.
