We are seeking a technical and entrepreneurial Senior Product Manager with a track record of success in product management for Prosumer, Cybersecurity, Data Privacy, Legal Tech, Reg Tech and/or Consumer Data products.
Optery’s product is sold to iniduals, families, small and medium sized businesses, large enterprises, and state, local, and federal government agencies and departments. In this respect, it is similar to companies like LastPass, DropBox, and McAfee in that it is sold both to iniduals directly, and to businesses for distribution to employees. Optery maintains four primary application interfaces, its consumer facing application (https://app.optery.com/signup), its business admin facing application (https://business.optery.com/signup), its API (http://www.optery.com/api), and it’s backend workflows for employees and contractors.
Optery’s core data removal functionality processes Data Subject Requests (a.k.a. DSRs) for its customers to manage their data privacy preferences at data broker companies. Put differently, Optery delivers, manages and fulfills opt out and data deletion requests for its customers at data brokers.
Our business benefits from the growing number of consumer data privacy laws, and our software puts the data privacy rights granted in these laws to work for our customers, e.g. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), etc. Optery also offers a free tier with self-service tools for users to submit and manage their own data privacy rights requests.
