Product Lead

Cybersecurity for growing businesses is broken — even enterprises spend heavily across hundreds of disconnected tools for marginal real-world benefit. For startups and mid-sized firms, this gap often means forgoing security entirely, or cobbling together a solution that leaves them vulnerable in other ways. At Zip Security, we build solutions that make enterprise cybersecurity effective and doable for growing businesses of all kinds, whether or not they have a security team in house.
Our product is a complete security program that automates device management, endpoint security, identity and access management, compliance, and managed IT and security operations to keep teams of all kinds protected. We help our customers pick their right security frameworks, correctly deploy the tools, policies, and controls they need, and keep everything enforced over time, so their business is protected and compliant, 24/7.

Zip is at the cutting edge of what’s possible in cybersecurity, and dedicated to delivering value for our customers. It’s a big part of why we’re backed by Ballistic Ventures. Major platforms are opening APIs that enable automated management at scale, new government initiatives are surfacing global threat data, and we're positioned to be the first to properly integrate all of it. We're looking for driven, talented people to help us get there. If this resonates with you, we invite you to consider building alongside our team.

As the first product hire, you’ll be responsible for building and scaling the product function from the ground up. You’ll work closely with design, engineering, customer success, and marketing — and directly with the CEO and CTO — to define, execute, and communicate Zip’s product strategy to internal and external stakeholders.

This is a rare opportunity to shape not just what we build, but how we build it. You’ll be the connective tissue between customer problems, business goals, and technical execution, turning ambiguity into clarity and ideas into shipped product. From early discovery and roadmap definition to launch, iteration, and scale, you’ll own the full product lifecycle end-to-end.

If you’re energized by blank-page problems, high leverage ownership, and the chance to leave a lasting imprint on a fast-growing company, this role is for you.

• Own the product roadmap — centralized and clear product roadmap that takes insights from sales, GTM, customers and own distribution internally and externally

• Build feedback loops and processes for the product roadmap between customers, GTM, design, and engineering so we consistently prioritize the right problems

• Run product discovery to validate what to build next, define product requirements for each new project or feature, and define success metrics for launches

• Partner with engineering to deliver high-quality releases, balancing usability, impact, and technical constraints (QA)

• Define kpis - leverage datadog and other product analytics and tracking to measure adoption and satisfaction.

• Collaborate with the CEO and CTO on product strategy and positioning.

• Lay the foundation for our product culture and processes — the way we plan, learn, and build as we grow.

• 5+ Years of Experience in B2B SaaS

• Startup experience - ideally as an early product hire

• Strong technical communication skills and a mastery of building processes + using software

• Strong sense of design principles and user experience

We believe great teams are built by curious people who care deeply about learning, collaboration, and ownership. At Zip Security, you’ll have the autonomy to contribute ideas, shape decisions, and help build both our product and our culture. If you’re excited about the role, we encourage you to apply — even if your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every qualification.
