About the role

  • The way enterprises govern code on that infrastructure, who can change what, under which conditions, and with what oversight, is becoming one of the most consequential surfaces in software.
  • The primitives you ship, including rulesets, custom, delegated bypass, rule insights, and policy enforcement, are the enforcement backbone for every enterprise managing thousands of repositories at scale.
  • You will define how repository governance evolves from a collection of discrete controls into a coherent, programmable policy layer that works across organizations, enterprises, and the next generation of agentic developer workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Own the multi-year strategy for Repository Security and Governance, defining how its primitives evolve into a unified, programmable policy layer for the enterprise.
  • Translate enterprise customer signal, including usage telemetry, support escalations, design-partner input, and ARR exposure, into a clear, defensible investment thesis that shapes the roadmap and resolves prioritization debates with leadership.
  • Build a durable point of view on the enterprise governance market by maintaining direct relationships with design partners, power users, and security leaders, and by tracking how the competitive and regulatory landscape is evolving.
  • Define the adoption strategy for new governance capabilities, designing the experiments, design-partner engagements, and motion with field teams that prove value and unlock enterprise scale.
