For over 20 years, Smartsheet has helped people and teams achieve–well, anything. From seamless work management to smart, scalable solutions, we’ve always worked with flow. We’re building tools that empower teams to automate the manual, uncover insights, and scale smarter. But more than that, we’re creating space– space to think big, take action, and unlock the kind of work that truly matters. Because when challenge meets purpose, and passion turns into progress, that’s magic at work, and it’s what we show up for everyday.

As a Principal Product Manager for Security & Smartsheet’s Safeguard suite, you will own the vision, strategy, and execution roadmap for our mission-critical enterprise security products. This senior role is pivotal in ensuring Smartsheet meets and exceeds the stringent security and regulatory demands of our largest, most complex customers.

You will act as the leading voice for enterprise security, collaborating closely with engineering, UX, legal, security and sales teams to deliver solutions that build trust, mitigate risk, and drive premium product adoption, particularly within the Safeguard suite.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role for a strategic thinker who is deeply technical, customer-obsessed, and passionate about solving complex security and governance challenges at enterprise scale.

You Will:

• Serve as the expert on enterprise security customer requirements, aligning cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders (like the CISO) around impactful, security-first product outcomes
• Identify, scope, and lead monetizable security offerings, working closely with pricing and sales teams to drive adoption and ARR of the security portfolio
• Collaborate closely with Security Engineering to champion best-in-class, encrypted data storage and transfer strategies, addressing complex data residency and jurisdictional challenges
• Analyse market trends, competitive offerings, and customer feedback from CISOs and security stakeholders to inform strategic product decisions and maintain market leadership in SaaS security
• Represent security product capabilities internally and externally (e.g., with customers, partners, and auditors), clearly communicating the value and technical details of the Safeguard offering
• Mentor and guide cross-functional teams and junior Product Managers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and collaborative product delivery
• Perform other duties as assigned

You Have:

• 8+ years of product management experience, including delivering impactful SaaS or enterprise software solutions

• Proven ability to define and execute strategic roadmaps for highly complex and regulated platforms
• Deep technical understanding of SaaS security architecture, encryption standards, identity management protocols (SAML, OAuth, SCIM), and major compliance frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR)
• Demonstrated success in leading and mentoring cross-functional teams (including security engineers and legal counsel).
• Excellent storytelling skills and the ability to communicate complex security concepts effectively to technical, customer, and executive audiences
• Data-driven mindset with a focus on security adoption KPIs and business metrics to guide strategy and measure product outcomes.
