VP, Head of Product
About Compyl
Compyl is a high-growth, venture-backed GRC and automated security compliance platform built by security practitioners for security practitioners. Founded in 2020 by two former Chief Information Security Officers, we exist to solve a problem both founders lived firsthand: the painful, fragmented, and largely manual state of enterprise security governance. Our cloud-native platform replaces spreadsheets, point tools, and consulting engagements that security teams have relied on, delivering a single, all-in-one GRC solution that automates evidence collection, control mapping, audit preparation, and continuous monitoring. We're backed by Venture Guides, Contour Venture Partners, and Armory Square Ventures, and we're building toward a global team by the end of 2027.
About The Role
We're hiring a Head of Product to own Compyl's product vision, strategy, and execution end-to-end, including direct ownership of our agentic AI layer. We're building AI capabilities that move beyond evidence collection and risk dashboards toward autonomous remediation and multi-step workflow orchestration. Whoever steps into this role will have real, lasting ownership over how AI is built across the product. This is not a bolt-on feature, it's a foundational shift in how Compyl delivers value, and no competitor has fully unlocked it yet. This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll set direction, but you'll also stay close to customers, roadmap tradeoffs, delivery timelines, and outcomes. Success means translating real customer pain into clear priorities, shipping high-quality product consistently, and raising the bar for how product decisions are made across the company.
