Product Manager, InfraSec
We are looking for a Product Manager to join our InfraSec team, responsible for the infrastructure and security of our platform, and help our product development team build and deploy functionality faster, safer and more autonomous.
The Teachable platform empowers independent business owners to productize their knowledge through online courses and coaching. We put almost $1.5M in the pockets of small businesses and solopreneurs every single day.
The InfraSec PM combines aspects of traditional product management, program management, and some project management. At its heart, this role helps the team serve its internal customers better by productizing self-service capabilities where possible. But because of the centralized nature of the team, this role also has responsibilities of stakeholder management, ongoing requirement prioritization, and enforcing cross-team accountability.
The ideal candidate for this role is an experienced and organized Product Manager with excellent communication skills. They are a systems thinker who is able to stack rank between competing priorities, keep stakeholders in the loop, and navigate the complexities of deeply technical needs that impact our entire product / technology stack broadly.
This role reports directly to the Director of Product - Platform, and works closely day-to-day with the engineering leads for the InfraSec team.
*This role is open to being remote

- Keeps the InfraSec team informed broadly on the needs, problems, and opportunities of diverse internal stakeholders
- Advocates for InfraSec originating work required from other product development pods and holds them accountable for delivery
- Handles most of the day-to-day communications outside the team—with stakeholders, other pods, and other internal collaborators
- Handles 3rd party vendor management whenever we need to use them for needs like periodic penetration testing etc
- Own prioritization, on-time delivery, and communication of trade-offs
- Manage and drive software projects with technical risk and high coordination complexity
- Partners with the Platform crew leadership to manage costs / investments on InfraSec
Qualifications:
- Deep experience with infrastructure teams
- Sufficient technical knowledge to adequately represent technical topics on security, DNS, CI/CD, containerization, etc.
- Very strong communication skills, communicating concepts in different media from verbal to written, depending on the context
- A curious/humble/ambitious personality with a desire to work in a diverse, cross-functional environment (see our Product Engineering Operating Principles)
- Expertise in both Product and Project management
