- A seat at the table: Your perspective is unique and valued. Open debate and diverse viewpoints are built into how decisions actually get made here, at every level.

- Growth at rocketship speed: Drata is scaling fast, which means scope grows fast too. High performers get more ownership, visibility, and experience.

Job Summary:

Drata is looking for a Head of Product, Assurance to lead product strategy, execution, and team development for significant product lines at Drata – Trust Center & AI Questionnaire Assistance.

This is a high-impact leadership role with end-to-end ownership of product vision, roadmap, customer outcomes, and business performance for a core area of the company. You will partner closely with Engineering, Design, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and Finance to ensure the business line continues to expand its market position, deepen customer value, and drive durable growth.

The right leader for this role combines strong product judgment with operational rigor. You can set strategy, make hard tradeoffs, build high-performing teams, and turn customer and market insight into shipped customer outcomes. You know how to balance near-term execution with long-term platform thinking, and you are comfortable owning results in a fast-moving environment.

This is not a narrow feature management role. You will operate like the product leader for a business within the business—responsible for direction, prioritization, organizational effectiveness, and measurable outcomes.

What you’ll do:

PRODUCT STRATEGY AND BUSINESS OWNERSHIP

- Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for a major product line, ensuring investments align with customer needs, market opportunity, and Drata’s broader company strategy

- Lead portfolio-level prioritization across growth, retention, platform, and innovation work—making deliberate tradeoffs that maximize business impact

- Define the long-term direction of the product line and translate that direction into a clear operating plan for the team and cross-functional partners

- Use customer insight, product data, competitive intelligence, and market trends to identify opportunities for expansion, differentiation, and improved product-market fit

- Act as the primary product leader for the business line, with clear accountability for adoption, retention, expansion, and overall product performance

CUSTOMER, MARKET, AND COMMERCIAL LEADERSHIP

- Be deeply customer-oriented—spend time with customers, prospects, internal stakeholders, and front-line teams to understand the most important problems to solve

- Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to ensure product strategy is grounded in market reality and supports successful go-to-market execution

- Help shape positioning, packaging, launch strategy, and commercialization plans for major initiatives within the product line

- Anticipate changes in the market, competitive landscape, and regulatory environment, and adjust strategy with speed and clarity

- Serve as a strong internal and external advocate for the product line and its value to customers

EXECUTION AND CROSS-FUNCTIONAL LEADERSHIP

- Lead the product organization through the full lifecycle of strategy, discovery, roadmap planning, execution, launch, and iteration

- Partner closely with Engineering and Design leaders to deliver high-quality outcomes at a strong pace, without compromising strategic coherence

- Establish clear product goals, metrics, and operating rhythms that create visibility, accountability, and focus across teams

- Drive decision-making in ambiguous situations by bringing structure, clarity, and principled prioritization

- Ensure teams are solving the right problems, learning quickly, and maintaining a high bar for customer value and product quality

TEAM AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP

- Build, lead, and develop a strong team of product leaders and product managers, creating an environment of high standards, strong ownership, and continuous growth

- Coach leaders to think strategically, operate effectively, and raise the quality of decision-making across the organization

- Strengthen cross-functional collaboration across Product, Engineering, Design, GTM, and Operations by improving communication, planning, and organizational alignment

- Help shape how the broader product organization scales—its structure, talent density, decision rights, and operating model

- Model Drata’s leadership expectations through transparency, accountability, customer obsession, and a bias toward action

What you’ll bring:

- 10+
