About Compyl
Compyl is a high-growth, venture-backed GRC and automated security compliance platform built by security practitioners for security practitioners. Founded in 2020 by two former Chief Information Security Officers, we exist to solve a problem both founders lived firsthand: the painful, fragmented, and largely manual state of enterprise security governance.
Our cloud-native platform replaces spreadsheets, point tools, and consulting engagements that security teams have relied on, delivering a single, all-in-one GRC solution that automates evidence collection, control mapping, audit preparation, and continuous monitoring.
We're backed by Venture Guides, Contour Venture Partners, and Armory Square Ventures, and we're building toward a global team by the end of 2027.
About the Role
We're hiring a Head of Product to own Compyl's product vision, strategy, and execution end-to-end, including direct ownership of our agentic AI layer.
We're building AI capabilities that move beyond evidence collection and risk dashboards toward autonomous remediation and multi-step workflow orchestration. Whoever steps into this role will have real, lasting ownership over how AI is built across the product. This is not a bolt-on feature, it's a foundational shift in how Compyl delivers value, and no competitor has fully unlocked it yet.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll set direction, but you'll also stay close to customers, roadmap tradeoffs, delivery timelines, and outcomes. Success means translating real customer pain into clear priorities, shipping high-quality product consistently, and raising the bar for how product decisions are made across the company.
What You'll Do
Own Product Strategy & Vision
- Define and evolve Compyl's long-term product vision and roadmap, aligned to the company strategy, customer needs, and market opportunity
- Translate high-level strategy into clear, prioritized initiatives with measurable outcomes
- Balance near-term execution with long-term platform thinking
Lead Compyl's Agentic AI Layer
- Own the strategy, sequencing, and execution of Compyl's AI layer, from initial agentic workflows to full autonomous remediation.
- Define how AI agents interact with the core GRC platform, integrations, and customer environments in a defensible, auditable way.
- Partner with Engineering to establish the architecture and data foundations that make multi-step AI orchestration possible at scale.
- Set the bar for what "practitioner-grade AI" means in GRC, ensuring every AI-driven action is explainable and trustworthy.
Lead Product Execution
- Own roadmap planning, prioritization, and delivery in close partnership with Engineering.
- Work closely with Sales and Marketing to support positioning, packaging, pricing, and go-to-market readiness.
- Ensure product initiatives are scoped clearly, sequenced effectively, and delivered with quality.
- Establish strong product discovery and validation practices before committing engineering resources.
- Stay deeply connected to customers, prospects, and the field, especially enterprise security and GRC leaders
Build & Scale the Product Organization
- Lead and develop Product Managers and Product Designers; define clear roles, expectations, and career paths.
- Establish product rituals, operating cadence, and decision-making frameworks that scale with the company.
- Raise the bar for product thinking, communication, and accountability across the org.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of product management experience, including senior leadership roles building enterprise SaaS platforms.
- Demonstrated experience driving product strategy in risk, compliance, security, governance, or adjacent regulated domains.
- Proven track record translating regulatory frameworks and customer obligations into scalable, policy-driven product capabilities.
- Experience with AI/ML product development, ideally agentic systems, LLM-powered workflows, or autonomous process automation in a B2B context.
- Experience owning and evolving a complex, multi-tenant platform with a strong point of view on modularity, extensibility, and long-term architecture.
- Highly analytical and outcome-driven; comfortable using qualitative customer insight and quantitative data to drive prioritization and roadmap decisions.
- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional alignment across Engineering, Customer Experience, Sales, and executive leadership in a high-growth environment.
- Experience scaling product organizations and operating models in a Series A–C SaaS company.
