BUILDING A NEW FOUNDATION FOR CLOUD SECURITY The best security control doesn't detect a bad action. It removes the ability to perform it in the first place. That's what Act does. We're an action-centric cloud security company focused on reducing cloud risk by removing excessive and unintended access across cloud environments.

As AI is making attacks faster and less predictable, patching and detection can only go so far. So we make sure every identity in the cloud, human or machine, has only the access it actually needs, without turning security into an operational burden. We're early-stage, well-funded, and built by repeat security operators who previously created Medigate (acquired by Claroty).

We're building a team of exceptional people who take ownership from idea to outcome, with the autonomy to make decisions and drive their work forward. We care deeply about the customer, move fast, and enjoy building together. If you want to build something that matters from the ground up and see your work go live within days, this is the place.

THE ROLE You'll own a product lane end to end. At Act, PMs don’t hand off a backlog, they take an area from raw customer signal to GA and deliver the win. Our PMs own end-to-end use cases like external perimeter hardening across IAM and network dimensions, human access boundaries, application perimeter enforcement, and agentic application least-privilege enforcement.

You’ll take on an end-to-end boundary use case and everything it touches. You’ll shape how Act turns raw cloud configuration data into deterministic, enforceable boundaries, working closely with R&D, design, and customers to ship a product that materially shrinks the attack surface, reduces lateral movement opportunities, and eliminates exfiltration routes - preventing modern agentic attacks before they can take hold.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Shape and own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for your area, translating Act's mission of shrinking the cloud access surface into a clear, prioritized plan.
• Manage the entire product capability lifecycle - from discovery and requirements through design, execution, and release.
• Learn customer environments, threat models, and security workflows to ensure the product drives real operational success for cloud and security teams.
• Gather and analyze requirements, and write clear, detailed PRDs and user stories.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams
• R&D, UI/UX, security research, and GTM - to guarantee smooth, efficient implementation.
• Deep dive into the technical layers of identity, network, and AI access to make sound product and prioritization calls.
• Engage directly with customers and prospects to validate ideas, gather feedback, and inform strategy. WHAT YOU’LL BRING - 5+ years of experience as a Product Manager. At least 2 in cybersecurity, cloud, or application security (App. Sec) - a must!
• Solid understanding of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and security practices, tools, and frameworks.
• Strong technical orientation, with the ability to engage deeply with engineering teams
• Proven ability to own an entire product feature / capability / module end-to-end, with a comprehensive understanding of system flows and user interactions beyond a single feature or domain.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, dynamic startup environment with a hands-on approach.
• Background in network analysis, active directory, cloud IAM - an advantage.
• Background in intelligence, cyber operations, or security research - an advantage. OUR CULTURE We live by three values: Win, Learn, Have Fun. We play to win - we set ambitious goals and hold ourselves to high standards. We learn constantly - from customers, from each other, and from our mistakes. And we have fun doing it: we believe great work happens when people enjoy working together.
