About the Role

About Lightbeam

LightBeam converges data security, privacy, and governance so organizations can confidently scale across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem environments. Powered by generative AI, LightBeam pioneered an identity-centric, automation-first approach to data security. Unlike siloed tools, LightBeam provides unified visibility and control across structured and unstructured data, enabling organizations to:
● Discover and classify sensitive data at scale
● Identify and remediate risky and excessive access
● Enforce security controls directly at the data layer
● Continuously monitor exposure and misconfigurations
● Strengthen resilience against ransomware and accidental data exposure
● Comply with global data privacy regulations


The Role

Lightbeam is looking for a Product Manager focused on Data Security and Governance to help build and scale a category-defining platform. This role is for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building from first principles, and wants real ownership over
product outcomes. You will work at the intersection of data security, access governance, risk remediation, and compliance automation, partnering closely with engineering, design, sales, and customers. This is a hands-on role where strategy and execution go together. If you like shipping, debating trade-offs, and seeing customers use what you build, you’ll fit right in.

 

Why This Role Is Not for Everyone

This is not a role for someone looking for a narrowly scoped PM seat or a “wait-for-instructions” environment. You will be expected to drive clarity, make hard prioritization calls, and operate comfortably in an extremely fast-paced environment
where context shifts quickly. If you want structure handed to you, this will feel uncomfortable. If you like building
structure while moving fast, you’ll love it.


Responsibilities 

  • Product Strategy and Roadmap
    ○ Define and articulate a clear product strategy aligned with LightBeam’s
    vision and business goals.
    ○ Own and maintain a forward-looking roadmap across data security and
    governance capabilities.
    ○ Translate high-level vision into concrete, executable plans.
    ● Market and Customer Insight
    ○ Conduct competitive and market research across data security, DSPM,
    and access governance.
    ○ Work directly with customers to understand real-world security risks and
    workflows.
    ○ Use insights to inform product positioning and prioritization.
    ● Cross-Functional Collaboration
    ○ Partner closely with engineering and design to deliver high-quality
    features.
    ○ Work with sales, customer success, and marketing to ensure strong
    product-market fit.
    ○ Influence stakeholders without relying on authority.
    ● Product Development and Execution
    ○ Own the full product lifecycle from discovery through launch and iteration.
    ○ Write clear PRDs, define scope, and make pragmatic trade-offs.
    ○ Prioritize features based on customer impact, risk reduction, and business
    value.
    ● UX and Product Quality
    ○ Collaborate with design to deliver intuitive, security-first user experiences.
    ○ Ensure usability does not compromise security or scalability.
    ○ Define acceptance criteria and success metrics for features.
    ● Metrics and Outcomes
    ○ Define and track KPIs related to adoption, risk reduction, and customer
    value.
    ○ Use data to evaluate impact and guide future investments.
    ● Testing and Quality
    ○ Define product-level testing strategies.
    ○ Partner with QA and engineering to ensure reliable, enterprise-grade
    releases.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field. MBA is a
    plus.
  •  7+ years of product management experience in B2B SaaS.
  • Strong exposure to data security, access governance, identity, or enterprise
    security platforms.
  • Ability to think strategically while executing with speed and discipline.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments.
  • Proven experience working cross-functionally and influencing without authority.
