This is a hybrid role. Office attendance is required at least twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays for collaboration and connection. There may be additional in-office days for team or company events.

The Role

Ironclad is hiring a Staff Product Manager to lead a critical portfolio at the heart of our enterprise platform: Trust & Core Services. FedRAMP readiness and authorization enablement is the top priority for this role—you will translate FedRAMP controls into product requirements, drive cross-functional execution, and ensure we ship the capabilities and operational readiness needed for authorization and ongoing compliance.

In addition to FedRAMP, you will own foundational platform areas that impact enterprise scalability and product velocity:

1. FedRAMP readiness and authorization enablement (control-to-product translation, evidence-producing capabilities, boundary decisions, launch readiness)

2. Records & Document Services (generation/rendering, storage, lifecycle/retention, legal hold/records requirements, performance/reliability) — strong plus if you’ve owned document/content platforms leveraged by AI teams

3. Design System (roadmap, governance, accessibility, consistency, and developer experience).This is a high-impact role at the intersection of security/compliance, platform reliability, and execution at scale. You’ll partner deeply with Engineering, Security/GRC, Legal, Design, AI stakeholders (as internal platform customers), and GTM partners to deliver outcomes.

What You’ll Do:

FedRAMP & Trust (Primary)

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for FedRAMP enablement; translate controls into clear requirements and sequenced delivery plans.

• Drive boundary and architecture decisions with Security, Infrastructure, and Engineering (auditability, logging, encryption, access controls, configuration controls).

• Ship “evidence-producing” capabilities (e.g., audit/system logs, retention policies, admin/config controls) supporting authorization and ongoing compliance.

• Establish operating rhythm across teams: milestones, dependencies, risk management, executive updates, and launch readiness (including partnership with assessors where applicable).

Records & Document Services (Core Services; strong plus for prior experience)

• Set direction and execution for document capabilities: generation, rendering, storage, performance, reliability, and lifecycle management.

• Partner with Legal/Security on records management needs (retention, holds) and translate into scalable platform primitives.

• Define success metrics (latency, reliability, throughput, incident trends) and drive continuous improvements with Engineering.

• Partner with AI/ML teams as internal platform customers to deliver document primitives that power AI experiences (ingestion/normalization, extraction reliability, metadata standards, scalable processing, predictable latency/throughput).

Design System (Platform Velocity & Consistency)

• Own the Design System roadmap, governance model, and adoption strategy.

• Partner with Design and Frontend Engineering to improve consistency, accessibility, speed of delivery, and reduce UI fragmentation.

Product Launch, Packaging & GTM Readiness

• Lead end-to-end launches for new platform capabilities (especially FedRAMP/trust), including rollout plans (beta/GA), readiness checklists, and stakeholder alignment.

• Partner with Product Marketing and Sales to define positioning, enablement, and field readiness; support strategic deal motions where needed.

• Partner cross-functionally on pricing & packaging inputs (entitlements, plan gating) and on Legal/Security reviews for customer-facing commitments and policy implications.

• 40–50% of role = program execution

  • Pod and Cross- team roadmap planning and prioritization

  • Milestone and Dependency tracking

  • Risk mitigation

  • Writing Detailed Product Requirements

  • Reviewing Design and Technical Specifications

  • Leadership readouts

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of Product Management experience, including platform or infrastructure-adjacent product ownership.

• Hands-on FedRAMP experience required: led or materially drove FedRAMP readiness/authorization for a SaaS/cloud product (scope/boundary decisions, control-to-product translation, evidence-producing capabilities, POA&M execution, and close partnership with Security/GRC + Engineering).

• Proven ability to translate ambiguity into strategy, roadmap, and shipped outcomes; strong written and executive communication.

• Track record of leading cross-functional delivery and launches involving Engineering, Security/GRC, Legal, and GTM.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience owning document/content services (storage, rendering, pipelines, performance/SLOs), ideally at scale.

• Familiarity with how documents are processed for AI (ingestion, extraction, chunking/indexing, retrieval/RAG) and partnering with AI/ML teams on platform dependencies and governance.

• Experience building or scaling a Design System (component governance, accessibility, adoption, developer experience).

• Experience with enterprise SaaS pricing/packaging inputs (entitlements, plan gating) and launching platform capabilities.

• Engineering background or experience as a Technical Product Manager and/or Technical Program/Project Manager is a plus.

Success in This Role Looks Like

• FedRAMP milestones delivered on schedule with clear boundary decisions, control mapping, and evidence-producing capabilities shipped.

• Reduced authorization risk through measurable improvements in auditability/logging, access controls, retention, and operational readiness.

• Improved reliability and performance for core document workflows; stronger AI team velocity enabled by dependable document primitives.

• Successful launches of trust/platform capabilities with clear enablement, packaging readiness, and measurable adoption.

• Faster product delivery and improved UX consistency through Design System adoption and reduced UI fragmentation.
