Who we are
Hi there 👋 We’re Ethena, compliance training that customizes itself to you. Ethena combines top-rated training content with intelligent AI that builds and adapts training to reflect your company’s unique brand, roles, policies, and risks, so it feels like your team, whether that’s hard hats or virtual meetings. From auto-assigning courses based on HRIS data to transforming your policies into interactive training in minutes, Ethena helps People, Legal, and Compliance teams launch in days (not months) and cut learner seat time by up to 60% with adaptive learning paths. Ethena supports 1M+ learners across 2,000+ organizations, with a 93% learner approval rating and 96% customer renewal rate. Over the past several years, we’ve delivered consistent, durable growth, including 120%+ net dollar retention, 95%+ gross dollar retention, and strong enterprise expansion across industries. Ethena has become a go-to compliance partner for modern, global organizations.
 
Beyond training, Ethena unifies core compliance tools, Hotline & Case Management, Policy Bot, and Phishing Simulator, into a single platform, with built-in audit trails and compliance controls teams can trust.
 
Trusted by teams at companies like Genesco, Asana, Pinterest, and Synaptics, it’s a great time to join us.
 
How we work
We’re a team that values diversity in all its forms and loves adding new perspectives. We ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, and build with empathy, for customers and for each other. We care about craft, we love feedback, and we take ownership. We also embrace humor (yes, the puns are real), because doing serious work doesn’t have to feel so serious.
 
Our workforce is fully remote, and your personal working hours can be based on your own timezone. All team-wide meetings are scheduled to be inclusive of all North American time zones.

Who we're looking for

    Ethena is looking for a Lead Product Manager to join our small but mighty team. This hire will own critical features across our suite of software and learning experience products. This is a role for someone who loves to wear multiple hats and wants real ownership: you'll set the strategy, make the calls, and be accountable for the outcomes.

Reports to

    Philip London, VP of Product

What you'll be doing

  • Owning the strategy and roadmap for Ethena's learning experience: deciding what topics we cover, how deep we go, and which regulations and geographies we serve, all while creating compelling training that employees actually engage with

  • Contributing to our software roadmap - owning select features end to end and making sharp, well-reasoned cases for what we build and why

  • Developing a deep understanding of our customers, our competitors, and our market, and turning that understanding into decisions

  • Crafting exceptionally clear product specifications and content strategies that skillfully navigate complexity - articulating hard tradeoffs to everyone in the room

  • Using AI tools fluently across your work - customer research, data analysis, content development, prototyping - to move faster and see further. (To be clear: AI sharpens good product judgment; it doesn't substitute for it. We're looking for the judgment.)

  • Collaborating with our learning experience, design, and engineering teams

  • Owning go to market and enablement motions for your products, proving clarity across the organization about what we're building, why, and when it’s launching

  • Raising the bar for the whole product function, working with our VP of product to evolve and level up our ways of working

What makes a great candidate

  • A proven track record of driving real outcomes at early stage companies - you can point to products you shipped and the impact they had, and explain why

  • Impeccable product sense that extends to content - you understand the criticality of impactful training that sits alongside our technology, and you have taste and judgment for both

  • A sharp, structured thinker who is exceptionally clear in writing and in conversation - you make complicated things simple, not the other way around

  • Genuine fluency with AI tools in your day-to-day work, paired with a clear-eyed view of what they're good for and where they fall short

  • A "roll up your sleeves" mentality and comfort operating within ambiguity

  • Passion for what we're building here at Ethena

  • An impeccable sense of humor

What's going to be the hardest part

  • Quickly getting up to speed, learning our product, the space, our mission, and our ways of working, and finding ways to bring your experience and unique perspective to every problem you encounter

At Ethena, we're committed to fair and equitable compensation. We carefully evaluate each candidate's skills and qualifications to provide our best possible offer upfront. Our no-negotiation policy ensures that our first offer is always our best offer, promoting pay equity throughout our organization.
