VP, Product
Posted 2025-04-06Who are we?
UpGuardâs mission is to protect the worldâs data. We obsessively seek out elegant, robust ways to enable our customers to find, acknowledge, and remediate cyber risk. With UpGuard, organizations leverage our security expertise and software to automate what was once laborious, spreadsheet-driven processesâwhether it's monitoring the attack surface of hundreds of vendors or assessing the security of their own infrastructure. UpGuard is used by some of the worldâs largest, fastest-growing, and most innovative companies.
Our Product team at UpGuard comprises of our Product Management, Product Support, Engineering, Design, Data Leaks Detection, and Third Party Risk Management Services. Our Product teamâs vision is to become the leader in the Cyber VRM category by providing a best-in-class SaaS platform for organizations to manage their third-party risk and external attack surface. Our purpose as a Product team is simply to build a product that enables this. We aim to build a product that users love and come to rely on, and one that regularly and consistently improves.
Where does this role fit in?
Weâre at an exciting inflection point as we expand our current product line to include two new offeringsâdesigned to deepen our relationship with existing customers as well as attract new user personas. Crucially, this role is not about transforming an emerging team; itâs about scaling a well-functioning, high-performing product organization. With a robust team in place and engineering resources actively ramping up, the VP of Product will focus on elevating our existing discipline and ensuring our increased engineering capacity is effectively aligned with strategic product initiatives.
