Overview
GitHub is the world's leading platform for agentic software development, powered by Copilot to build, scale, and deliver secure software. Over 180 million developers, including more than 90% of the Fortune 100 companies, use GitHub to collaborate, and more than 77,000 organisations have adopted GitHub Copilot.
Nearly all of the world's software is assembled from components someone else wrote, and AI is accelerating how fast that happens. GitHub is the company best positioned to secure it end to end: we own the surfaces it runs on, from source and identity through the dependency graph, workflows, builds, and releases, to remediation. Every other vendor is attacking one slice of that lifecycle from the outside. Nobody has brought the primitives together into a real secure software factory platform.
We're looking for a Director of Product Management to own that portfolio and build the platform, so customers can answer one question: can I trust this software, and can I prove it? This is a player-coach role. You'll lead a PM team and carry direct product ownership of the hardest problems in the segment.
What you'll work on:
One platform, not a set of tools. GitHub's supply chain capabilities are strong individually and don't yet add up to an experience a customer can reason about. You'll set the vision that unifies dependency security, artifact trust and provenance, and package governance, and make the branding, packaging, and unification calls that follow.
The application graph. The real risk of a vulnerability, and what it takes to fix it, depends on how code, repos, artifacts, and applications connect. You'll build that connective tissue, turCan yning isolated findings into a clear picture of what's affected and what remediation requires.
Risk that actually matters. Security teams are measured on what they fix, not what they find. You'll define how GitHub surfaces the risk worth acting on and carries a fix through to done, at a scale and ecosystem breadth no point solution can match.
Trust as a default of shipping software. Verifiable provenance is still an expert workflow. You'll make it a normal property of building on GitHub, generated as software is created rather than reconstructed afterward, and applied to what developers and coding agents pull in alike.
Responsibilities
Analysis of Customer & Market Signals:
Prioritize customer needs through direct engagement with enterprise security teams, platform engineering leaders, and the open source community.
Seek the truth in the usage data. Nobody has more of it than GitHub. Let evidence overrule assumptions about how the product is really performing.
Turn the competitive landscape into roadmap decisions, not feature parity checklists.
Product/Service Definition:
Own the vision and multi-year strategy for supply chain security, including what we build, what we bring together, what we retire, and where we don't play.
Carry direct product ownership of the most strategically important problems in the segment.
Define the metrics that show whether the portfolio is working, and hold the team to them.
Team Leadership:
Lead and develop a team of product managers at varying seniority levels. Set the performance bar, coach, and own career development.
Partner closely with your engineering and design leadership counterpart on staffing, delivery, and how the business operates.
Go-To-Market & Delivery:
Own the partnership with Microsoft Security. Microsoft brings world-class security research, threat intelligence, and enterprise reach that we put to work in the developer and security workflows where fixes actually land.
Shape packaging and pricing direction for the segment, and own its adoption and revenue outcomes.
Carry the product vision to executive briefings, analysts, and the developer community, and provide thought leadership across GitHub and Microsoft.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications:
8+ years experience in product/service/project/program management, software development, product design, or related field
OR Bachelor's Degree in related field AND 6+ years experience in product/service/project/program management, software development, product design, or related field
OR equivalent experience
2+ years in developing deep expertise in developer tools, developer platforms, or security products, enabling clear translation of developer requirements into roadmap-ready features.
3+ years people management experience.
Experience owning a product area end to end as an individual contributor, and experience leading or developing other product managers.
Preferred Qualifications:
Hands-on experience with software supply chain security: SCA and dependency management, package registries and ecosystem tooling, SBOMs, provenance and attestations, or malware detection in open source packages.
Experience directly managing product managers, including hiring, coaching across experience levels, and performance management.
Track record of building a coherent product line out of separately managed capabilities, including the hard consolidation and deprecation calls.
Experience with packaging, pricing, or consumption-based commercial model decisions.
Proven cross-functional collaboration: You bring a history of success partnering with Engineering, Design, Sales, and Customer Success to deliver projects that involve complex technical problems.
