VP, Product Management - AI Governance

Strength in Trust

OneTrust’s mission is to enable innovation through the responsible use of data and AI. We believe that ensuring data is trusted shouldn’t slow teams down—it should accelerate what’s possible. This led us to develop the first technology platform for responsible data use in 2016. Today, with AI representing the latest and most impactful expansion of data yet, OneTrust is once again redefining what responsible innovation looks like. OneTrust, the AI‑Ready Governance Platform™, unifies regulatory intelligence, automation, and connected governance workflows so businesses can continue to move at the speed of AI while ensuring good governance to prevent data misuse at scale. Trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide, OneTrust is shaping the future where trusted data becomes a transformative force for business and society.

The Challenge

OneTrust is looking for a Vice President, Product Management to lead and scale our AI Governance business. This is not a caretaker role. It is a builder role for a product leader who knows how to create, scale, and operationalize category-defining enterprise software.

AI Governance is one of the fastest-emerging categories in enterprise software. The first Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI Governance was published this year, and OneTrust is positioned as a top vendor.

We are looking for a forward-thinking domain builder and a platform-focused executive. This person will guide the business. They should have good judgment to set direction and the credibility to lead in their field. They must help teams build, define priorities, and speed up execution. This leader will not operate as a high-level delegator focused only on presentations and process. They will shape the strategy, strengthen the product foundation, and help teams solve hard problems — including prototyping directly with modern AI development and design tools to demonstrate product vision.

The Four Lenses We Are Hiring For

The right candidate threads the needle across four dimensions:

Builder — Hands-on prototyping and demonstrating product direction by building — not pontificating through slideware. When a team is stuck, you can open the tools and show them what great looks like.

Domain expert — Depth in at least one core lens of AI Governance — risk & compliance, security, identity & access, data governance, or AI cost governance — with the range to connect that depth to the full landscape.

Platform thinker — You design solutions as part of a broader platform, not isolated point products. You have built inside true platform businesses and think in systems: the solution is the spearhead, but the platform is the wood behind the arrow.

Category builder — You have taken new categories from zero to $100M–$200M+ — ideally more than once — and know how to use analysts, customers, and market proof points to scale an organization.

Your Mission

Define and own the end-to-end product vision, strategy, and execution path for OneTrust's AI Governance solution

Act as the first lens for the domain, bringing both breadth across AI Governance and depth in at least one core area that materially shapes product and market strategy

Serve as a credible external voice for OneTrust in AI Governance with customers, analysts, and strategic partners

Own prioritization, resource allocation, and portfolio tradeoffs across the AI Governance offering

Who You Are

You are a product executive who builds, not just manages. You have helped take enterprise software products from early traction to material scale and know what it takes to create sustained growth in a fast-moving market. You are equally comfortable setting multi-year strategy, guiding executives through major business decisions, and working with teams on difficult product and platform problems.

You combine strategic range with practical depth, and you have the credibility to lead in a complex enterprise environment where trust, governance, and platform scale matter.

You have likely worked in or alongside category-leading platform businesses and understand how to build products that operate as part of a broader platform, not as isolated point solutions. You have seen what great looks like in scaled enterprise software and can bring that standard to OneTrust.
