Ph3Join Proton and build a better internet where privacy is the default /h3pProton was founded in 2014 by scientists from CERN on a simple truth: bprivacy is a fundamental human right /b. Since then, we've built the world's largest encrypted email service (Proton Mail) and expanded into Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, and Proton Calendar — tools used by millions globally to protect their freedom, fight censorship, and keep their data safe. In some situations, Proton has literally helped save lives. /ppWe are profitable, independent (no VC control), and selectively hire from the top ~1% of applicants. Our 700+ team members across 50+ countries come from leading organizations and elite academic backgrounds. We move fast, keep hierarchy light, and prioritize impact over optics. If you want to do meaningful work with exceptionally high-caliber people, this is it. /ph3The Role /h3pWe're building something new at Proton and we're hiring a Senior PM to lead it from the front. /ppThis role sits at the intersection of product strategy, community dynamics, and Proton's mission to give people back control over their digital lives. You'll own the roadmap and execution for a product that brings privacy-first community experiences to millions of users. The team is small and senior; the scope is large. You’ll turn an ambitious product direction into clear strategy, crisp requirements, shipped experiences, and measurable outcomes. /ppWe're looking for someone who has lived inside community products: who understands how engagement compounds, why moderation decisions shape culture, and how trust is built (and destroyed) at scale. If you've helped build or grow a platform where users interact, organize, and belong and you want to do it in a way that doesn't exploit the people using it, this is the role. /ph3What You'll Own /h3ulliDefine and drive the product strategy and roadmap end-to-end — from first principles through to shipped features — without waiting for direction from above /liliOwn the metrics that matter: activation, engagement, retention, and community health. Set the targets, instrument the product to track them, and course‑correct fast when signals shift /liliTranslate deep knowledge of how online communities work — growth loops, moderation, network effects, content dynamics — into a clear product point of view and a prioritized execution plan /liliLead cross‑functional execution across a team of 6–12 engineers plus design, data, and growth — maintain velocity, surface blockers early, and keep the team focused on outcomes over activity /liliDrive structured discovery: user research, competitive analysis, and direct feedback loops that keep product decisions grounded in real behaviour, not assumptions /liliRepresent the product externally when needed — to users, partners, and internal leadership — with clarity and confidence /li /ulh3Who You Are /h3ulli10+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time spent on a social, messaging, or community platform /liliDeep understanding of community product mechanics — you can reason clearly about engagement loops, content moderation trade‑offs, trust and safety, and network effects without needing it explained /liliAnalytically sharp: you define success in numbers, run structured experiments, and make data‑informed calls without losing sight of user intuition /liliStrong, direct communicator — you write and speak with precision, push back when something doesn't make sense, and keep stakeholders aligned without over‑meeting /liliProven ability to lead a product autonomously: you identify the right problem, build the case, and drive it to shipped — without a roadmap handed to you /li /ulh3Nice to Have /h3ulliExperience building privacy‑respecting alternatives to mainstream social or community platforms /liliFamiliarity with open‑source community protocols (atproto, IETF MLS, Matrix, etc.) /liliBackground scaling a community product from early traction to millions of active users /li /ulpMainstream community platforms often optimize for attention, ads, and control. Proton has a different opportunity: to build community communication around privacy, user agency, and trust. This role is for a PM who understands the mechanics of social and community products, but wants to apply them in a way that respects the people using them. /ph3What We Offer /h3ullibWork that Matters: /b Millions of people trust Proton with their privacy. We answer only to our users — not advertisers, not investors with conflicting agendas, not governments. /lilibA Great Team: /b Diverse, collaborative, and tight‑knit, with people from MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, Cambridge, ETH, and more. /lilibTechnology: /b The right hardware and software to do your best work. /lilibLearning Development: /b We invest in your growth. Proton is one of the fastest ways to accelerate your career — real challenges, real ownership, from day one. /lilibEmployee Benefits: /b Strong health coverage, solid retirement options, generous leave, and wellness support. /lilibStock Options: /b From day one, you have a real stake in what we're building. When Proton wins, you win. /lilibIn‑Person Collaboration: /b Offices across Geneva, Zürich, Barcelona, London, and more. You'll spend most of your time collaborating face‑to‑face. /lilibFood: /b Lunch and snacks on us every day in the office. /lilibTransport: /b We cover public transport, bike allowances, or parking — whichever works for you. /lilibFlexible Working: /b You own your schedule. Outcomes matter more than clock‑in times. /li /ulh3Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion /h3pAt Proton, we believe diversity drives innovation and strengthens our mission to provide privacy as a default for all.
