Group Product Manager, Software Supply Chain Trust in Belfast

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 at Cloudsmith.

About 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 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 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; people development is a genuine part of this role, not just the product work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Set and maintain a coherent product vision across Policies, Continuous Security and Provenance, and make sure the three squads are pulling in the same direction.
• Own the tribe’s roadmap and make the prioritisation calls when squads are in tension.
• Act as the senior product voice in conversations with the senior technology leadership team.
• Take direct ownership of one or more squads — their roadmap, their stakeholders, and their customer conversations.
• Go deep on the domain: understand the technical landscape, the customer problems, and the competitive context well enough to make sharp product decisions.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with the enterprise engineering organisations we serve.
• Advise customers on how to approach software supply chain security.
• Partner closely with go-to-market teams to sharpen how we talk about this space externally.

People leadership:

• Manage and develop the PM reporting into you, helping them grow in their role and achieve their career goals.
• Help define what great product leadership looks like at each level across the team.
• Model the standard, not by telling people what good looks like, but by showing them.

Required Experience, Qualities & Skills:

• 8+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years in a senior or lead PM role managing complex, multi-squad product areas.
• A track record of setting product vision and strategy in a technical domain.
• A demonstrable interest in people development.

• Deep understanding of how software is built, how it moves through pipelines, and how traceability and dependency relationships work.
• Familiarity with enterprise software delivery.
• Fluency in vulnerability management, package formats, and supply chain integrity.

• Comfortable advising senior engineering stakeholders and influencing without authority.
• Strong written and verbal communicator.
• Experience working across distributed, remote-first teams.

Cultural Values We're Looking For:

• Curiosity over certainty.
• Directness with care.
• Craft and rigour.
• Builder’s mindset.
• Invested in people.

Impact & Opportunity: This role offers the chance to shape how enterprises understand and secure their software supply chains. Software supply chain security is still being defined as a discipline. You’ll have the scope, the team, and the backing to influence how the industry thinks about this.

Growth & Development: This role sits at the center of our most strategically important product area, with real scope to grow alongside the company.

Benefits, Location & Work Environment: You must be based in Ireland, the United Kingdom or the USA and have the right to work independently without requiring sponsorship.

• A competitive compensation package, including equity.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous annual leave and flexible working policies.
• A professional development budget for conferences, training, and certifications.
• A dynamic, trust-centric, and supportive work environment.
• Regular travel may be required for team meetings, customer visits or events.

Health and Wellness: We deeply care about the health and wellness of our staff and their families; a sustainable pace is important to us.

Personal Growth: You will have an enormous opportunity to learn new skills alongside your colleagues.

Facilities: Cloudsmith is headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with fully-equipped office space that’s open 24x7.

About Equal Opportunity: Cloudsmith is an equal-opportunity employer proud to nurture a diverse workplace.

The Final Word: We’re looking for someone who can balance strategic vision with genuine hands-on craft.
