Product Manager (Authentication)

We are looking for a Product Manager (Authentication) to join our team and play a pivotal role in delivering key capabilities across our Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) transformation program. Working closely with the Senior Product Manager, you will shape and drive the authentication roadmap across customer-facing channels, focusing on authentication policies, customer journeys, and detailed business requirements.

You will collaborate with UX, Architecture, Cyber Security, Fraud, and Engineering teams to simplify customer journeys and build secure, seamless experiences. Key areas of focus include driving the implementation and consolidation of login, MFA, OTP, passwordless authentication, account recovery, step-up authentication, and session management.

If you are passionate about defining end-to-end user journeys, navigating cross-functional dependencies, and migrating channels onto common CIAM platforms, this role offers an exciting opportunity to deliver impactful identity solutions.

• Demonstrated experience as a Product Manager, Product Owner, or Senior Business Analyst working within CIAM, Identity, Authentication, Digital, or Security programs.
• Deep understanding of core authentication concepts, including MFA, SSO, OTP, biometrics, passwordless, step-up authentication, and account recovery.
• Familiarity with modern identity standards and frameworks, including OAuth, OIDC, and API-based identity services.
• Hands-on familiarity or experience with enterprise CIAM platforms (such as Ping, Okta/Auth0, ForgeRock, or similar).
• Proven track record in Agile environments, managing product backlogs, defining detailed requirements and acceptance criteria, and supporting SIT/UAT through to production release.
• Strong cross-functional stakeholder engagement skills, with experience aligning business decisions across Digital, Operations, Security, and Technology teams.
