About the role

Member Management is the trust layer of Pliant. The team owns identity, authentication, access and permissions, the full member lifecycle, and the multi-region tenant structure underneath it all. As Pliant moves up-market and works with banks and larger partners, this area becomes increasingly important: security reviews and vendor assessments depend heavily on how well we handle identity and access.

As (Senior) Product Manager - Member Management (m/f/d) , you will own how members - and increasingly AI agents - access Pliant. Your scope covers authentication (passkeys, eIDs, enterprise IDPs, SSO), the permissions model, the joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle, and multi-tenant, multi-region identity for partners and banks. The main challenge is combining bank-grade security with an access experience that stays simple for members.

This is a hands-on, platform-heavy role for someone who enjoys structuring ambiguous problems, working closely with engineers on identity topics, and building capabilities that other teams at Pliant rely on.

What you'll do

• Own strategy, roadmap, and execution for Member Management: identity, authentication, access and permissions, the member lifecycle, and tenant management

• Advance passwordless, adaptive authentication (passkeys, eIDs, enterprise IDPs, SSO) and step-up verification for sensitive actions

• Build multi-tenant, multi-region identity that lets partners and banks launch quickly and lets members move easily between tenants and organizations

• Automate the member lifecycle end to end: HRIS sync plus just-in-time provisioning, so joiners, movers, and leavers always have the right access

• Work with Security, Compliance, and Engineering to meet the authentication, access-control, resilience, and audit bar that banks and regulated institutions require

• Design the permissions and entitlements model that other Pliant domains build on

• Prepare the platform for AI agents as governed members: verifiable identity, scoped permissions and limits, and a full audit trail

What you'll bring

• 5+ years in product management or a related role, ideally in B2B SaaS, fintech, identity/security, or platform-heavy environments

• Experience with identity and access - authentication, SSO and IDPs, permissions and RBAC, provisioning - or a strong interest in getting deep into the domain

• Strong technical fluency: comfortable discussing auth flows, multi-tenancy, integrations, and system-design trade-offs with engineers

• Ability to work through ambiguity, create structure, and make sound decisions without perfect information

• Familiarity with fintech trust and compliance requirements (e.g. PSD2) is a strong plus

• Experience coordinating with large partner banks or other enterprise stakeholders - aligning requirements and timelines and keeping delivery on track across organizations

• High ownership, bias for action, and clear cross-functional communication

• Fluent English; other languages are a plus

What we offer

• The opportunity to work in a growing team with big responsibilities that thrives on a strong exchange of knowledge and excellence

• Attractive remuneration

• Your choice of preferred OS, Windows or Mac

• Flat hierarchy and transparent communication in a relaxed, professional atmosphere

• Opportunity to develop your talent in a dynamic team with ambitious goals

• Flexibility and possibility to work remotely

• Monthly mobility benefit

• Wellhub Membership

• Pliant Card with monthly credit to explore the product and enjoy food with colleagues
