Senior Product Manager, Identity and Access Management

It's a new day with a new opportunity at 8am! About the role:

8am is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own the strategy and roadmap for our Identity and Access Management platform. IAM is the foundational infrastructure for every product we build. It's how our customers sign in, how we keep their data secure, and how we manage what people can see and do across our products. This is a high-leverage role: the decisions you make about authentication, authorization, and identity infrastructure ripple across the entire company and directly affect security, compliance, and the day-to-day experience of every user who touches an 8am product.

You'll work closely with engineering, security, and platform teams to define what "good" looks like for identity at 8am, and you'll partner with product teams across the business who depend on IAM to build their own features safely and quickly.

This role is hired through an Employer of Record (EOR) partner in the Czech Republic.

About us:

8am builds software that helps professionals run stronger businesses. Our platform powers payments, client experience, and operational workflows for legal, accounting, and other service-based businesses. U.S. based professionals count on our purpose-built solutions to simplify operations, ensure compliance, and fuel profitable growth, so they can focus on their clients and do more of the work that matters.

More than 250,000 professionals across the U.S. rely on our products every day. As we continue to grow, we’re investing in the next generation of our platform and are looking for experienced engineers who want to help shape its future.What you'll do:

• Authentication & SSO: Own the roadmap for login flows, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, session management, and passwordless authentication. Balance security requirements with a frictionless user experience.

• Authorization & Permissions: Define and evolve our approach to role-based access control and fine-grained entitlements, ensuring permissions models scale cleanly across multiple products and customer segments.

• Platform & Infrastructure: Drive the strategy for the underlying identity platform (APIs, service-to-service auth, and integrations with internal services and third-party/partner systems) so other product teams can build on a reliable, well-documented identity layer.

• Translate security, compliance, and business requirements into a clear, prioritized roadmap, and communicate trade-offs to engineering leadership and stakeholders.

• Partner with engineering and security teams daily to scope, sequence, and ship IAM capabilities, from discovery through launch and iteration.

• Act as the internal expert on identity for other product teams, providing guidance on how to safely build features that depend on authentication or authorization.
