JOIN PROTON AND BUILD A BETTER INTERNET WHERE PRIVACY IS THE DEFAULT
Proton was founded in 2014 by scientists from CERN on a simple truth: privacy is a fundamental human right. Since then, we've
built the world's largest encrypted email service (Proton Mail) and expanded into Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, and
Proton Calendar — tools used by millions globally to protect their freedom, fight censorship, and keep their data safe. In some
situations, Proton has literally helped save lives.
We are profitable, independent (no VC control), and selectively hire from the top ~1% of applicants. Our 700+ team members across
50+ countries come from leading organizations and elite academic backgrounds. We move fast, keep hierarchy light, and prioritize
impact over optics. If you want to do meaningful work with exceptionally high-caliber people, this is it. Check our open-source
projects here.
We're building something new at Proton and we're hiring a Senior PM to lead it from the front.
This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, community dynamics, and Proton's mission to give people back control over
their digital lives. You'll own the roadmap and execution for a product that brings privacy-first community experiences to
millions of users. The team is small and senior; the scope is large. You’ll turn an ambitious product direction into clear
strategy, crisp requirements, shipped experiences, and measurable outcomes.
We're looking for someone who has lived inside communities products: who understands how engagement compounds, why moderation
decisions shape culture, and how trust is built (and destroyed) at scale. If you've helped build or grow a platform where users
interact, organize, and belong and you want to do it in a way that doesn't exploit the people using it, this is the role.

Mainstream community platforms often optimize for attention, ads, and control. Proton has a different opportunity: to build
community communication around privacy, user agency, and trust. This role is for a PM who understands the mechanics of social
and community products, but wants to apply them in a way that respects the people using them.
