Principal Product Manager, Software: Identity, Security and Compliance

We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Product Manager, Software to join our team, focusing on the critical areas of Global Identity, Security, and Regulatory Compliance. In this senior individual-contributor role, you will define and deliver the foundational software capabilities that protect our users, their data, and our platform — ensuring we meet global standards and maintain trust at the scale of millions of households.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the security and identity foundation of a world-class audio ecosystem, balancing innovation with the imperative of robust protection and compliance. You'll take on some of the most ambiguous, cross-cutting problems at Sonos — the kind that touch multiple teams, systems, and years of technical and regulatory history — and turn them into a clear, executable strategy. You'll work cross-functionally with engineering, legal, privacy, and other product teams to build scalable solutions that protect our customers without compromising the simplicity and delight Sonos is known for.

As a Principal Product Manager, you're expected to operate as a force multiplier: setting direction, raising the bar on craft, and making the people around you better — not just within your own product area, but across the broader product organization.

Visa Sponsorship

Sonos is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this role at this time. We ask that applicants be authorized to work for any US employer, both now and in the future.

Location

This position is considered hybrid, allowing for a combination of remote work and in-office collaboration. Qualified applicants must live within commuting distance of our Boston or Seattle office location and should expect to be in office a minimum of 3 days per week.

What You'll Do

• Own product strategy for identity, security, and compliance. Define and champion the vision, roadmap, and success metrics for global identity management, platform security, and regulatory compliance within the Sonos software ecosystem — including authentication, authorization, data privacy (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), identity profiles and roles, and related critical initiatives.

• Translate ambiguity into clarity. Take complex regulatory requirements and security needs — often loosely defined and multi-quarter in scope — and turn them into clear, actionable requirements (epics, user stories, acceptance criteria) that engineering and design teams can rally around.

• Champion the user, relentlessly, even in the background. Ground every decision in a deep understanding of Sonos customers, ensuring that security and compliance work protects people without adding friction to the experience they expect from Sonos.

• Hold an exceptionally high quality bar. Sonos customers expect products that "just work" in their homes, every time. You'll be the voice in the room insisting that security and identity experiences hold up under real-world conditions, edge cases, and scale.

• Partner deeply with engineering, legal, and privacy. Work shoulder-to-shoulder with senior engineering leaders, legal, privacy, UX design, and customer support as a peer — shaping technical and policy trade-offs, not just writing requirements.

• Lead without authority. Influence roadmaps, priorities, and decisions across teams you don't manage, including with senior stakeholders and executives, acting as the connective tissue between technical and business audiences.

• Monitor and get ahead of regulatory change. Track global developments in data privacy, security, and digital identity regulation. Proactively identify risks and opportunities, and shape product solutions that keep Sonos compliant and minimize risk.

• Mentor and elevate other PMs. Act as a role model for product craft across the org — through documentation, reviews, and hands-on coaching — raising the overall bar for the product team.

• Modernize how we build product. Bring modern PM practices into the team's day-to-day work, including using AI tools to accelerate research synthesis, spec writing, prototyping, data analysis, and decision-making — ev
