Group Product Manager, Software Supply Chain Trust

TL;

DR:
We're seeking a product leader to own the vision and direction of our Software Supply Chain Trust product area - a domain at the heart of our product strategy - and to help shape what great product leadership looks like ut Cloudsmith Cloudsmith is the world’s most powerful artifact management platform. Software organizations of all sizes rely on Cloudsmith to control and secure their software supply chains.

Cloudsmith allows customers to manage curated private repositories that proxy public open-source software registries. Developers use these repositories as their trusted source for build artifacts. We support over 30 formats, including most popular languages, package managers, operating systems, and AI and container protocols. We’re aimed at the enterprise, with built-in comprehensive security and advanced features for policy enforcement, integrations, and observability.

Customers consider Cloudsmith to be critical infrastructure as a central part of their software build chain.

Cloudsmith is built by developers, for developers. We treasure the developer experience. The Tao of Cloudsmith expresses the values we live by every day. This is a special company, and now is a great time to join us.

The Team The product team at Cloudsmith is small, deliberate, and deeply invested in the craft. We care about doing product well — not just shipping things, but understanding the problem space, building real relationships with customers and engineers, and making decisions we can stand behind.

The way software is built has changed faster in the last two years than in the previous ten. AI-generated code, expanding dependency graphs, and accelerating release cycles have made software supply chain security one of the most consequential problems in enterprise technology. Cloudsmith is uniquely positioned to help organisations navigate this, and the Software Supply Chain Trust tribe is where that work is led.

The Group PM coming into this role will sharpen how we take that opportunity to market: evolving the product strategy, engaging directly with customers and prospects, and helping the industry understand what great looks like in this space.

This is a new role, created because the domain has grown to the point where it deserves dedicated senior leadership.

The Role As Group Product Manager, Software Supply Chain Trust, you'll be reporting to the VP of Product. You'll own the vision and product direction for software supply chain security at Cloudsmith — setting strategy that serves our customers and shapes how we grow in this space. You'll work closely with the technology leadership team to ensure we're set up to successfully deliver that vision and strategy.

Our Software Supply Chain Trust tribe is organised across three squads, and you'll work closely with one or more of them to shape and drive their roadmap. You'll also manage and develop a PM who leads the others (the exact shape of that split agreed in partnership with you); people development is a genuine part of this role, not just the product work.
