The summary above was generated by AI

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our Authorization strategy within Workiva’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) team. This role is focused on evolving how users and systems securely access Workiva’s multi-tenant platform, with an emphasis on authorization capabilities that are flexible, scalable, and enterprise-ready.

You’ll define the product vision, roadmap, and success metrics for authorization, partnering closely with engineering, design, product marketing, and security stakeholders to deliver outcomes that are secure, compliant, and customer-centric.

We’re seeking a true product leader who has built and scaled authorization features within complex SaaS environments and can guide cross-functional teams to bring innovative, outcome-driven solutions to life.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of core authorization capabilities across Workiva’s platform

  • Break down complex access control needs into actionable features — from role-based (RBAC) and attribute-based (ABAC) models to policy-based (PBAC), delegated access, and federated identity use cases

  • Translate technical and compliance needs into business-relevant success metrics (e.g., adoption, revenue impact, user satisfaction)

  • Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure performant, scalable, and maintainable implementation of authorization services

  • Partner with Product Marketing and Go-to-Market teams to position and enable Workiva’s access control features as a differentiator for customers

  • Drive product discovery and validation with internal and external stakeholders, including compliance, security, customer success, and enterprise buyers
     

What You’ll Need
Minimum Qualifications

  • 6+ years of product management experience in software, with at least 2 years focused on IAM or platform security

  • Demonstrated success building and launching customer-facing authorization capabilities

  • Experience implementing SCIM as a product feature

  • Deep understanding of access control models (RBAC, ABAC, DAC, MAC, PBAC) and identity federation standards (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML)
     

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous experience with IAM in highly regulated or enterprise SaaS environments

  • Background in software engineering or technical architecture

  • Ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders, from engineers to executives

  • Proven record of driving product outcomes (not just outputs), ideally tied to customer impact or revenue growth

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to clearly articulate technical concepts to non-technical audiences

  • Familiarity with authorization-as-a-service offerings and the broader IAM vendor landscape

  • MBA or advanced degree in a related field

Travel Requirements & Working Conditions

  • Willingness to travel up to 20% for team and corporate meetings, fostering relationships and representing company interests  

  • Reliable internet access for any period of time working remotely, as we embrace flexible work arrangements

How You’ll Be Rewarded

✅ Salary range in the US: $129,000.00 - $207,000.00

✅ A discretionary bonus typically paid annually

✅ Restricted Stock Units granted at time of hire

✅ 401(k) match and comprehensive employee benefits package
