Senior Product Manager (Athena)

Overview

Own the end-to-end member experience for Athena, Chainguard's system that processes, validates and routes enterprise vulnerability reports to remediation, spanning private feeds, the Chainguard Console, documentation and customer-facing operations.

What you'll do

• Define the product strategy, roadmap and priorities for the Athena member workflow, from intake and validation through status visibility, remediation, and how patches and advisories appear in OSV and VEX feeds, private feeds, the registry, console and documentation.
• Represent Athena internally and with customers on scope, capabilities and direction, and educate customer-facing teams so they can communicate clearly and credibly.
• Identify systemic gaps across the member workflow, convert recurring questions, feedback and feature requests into clear problem statements, and maintain a well-written, prioritized backlog.
• Align roadmaps and ownership across Engineering, remediation, Documentation, Customer Success and other partners.
• Work with Engineering on data validation, workflow routing, entitlements, access controls and reliability.
• Partner with remediation on patch delivery, including disclosure readiness, SBOMs and provenance, breaking changes, and capacity tradeoffs.
• Define and report member-experience metrics (submission volume and coverage, time to patch, status visibility, feed adoption).
• Raise customer, delivery and business risks early, especially around disclosure cycles.
• Serve as a trusted partner and mentor to product peers.

What you'll need

• 5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of a technical B2B product serving enterprise customers in regulated industries.
• Working fluency in software supply chain security, including CVEs, OSV, VEX, SBOMs, provenance, and vulnerability disclosure.
• Experience leading complex initiatives across multiple engineering and business teams without relying on direct authority.
• Strong judgment when balancing customer urgency, disclosure timelines, technical constraints, and broader business priorities.
• Comfort operating with high independence across multiple related problem spaces in a fast-moving environment with shifting priorities.
