Who We Are

Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management.

We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation, more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and Verkada is at the center of it.

You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries.

About the Role

As the founding Product Marketing Manager for Privacy and Data Security, you will play a central role in advancing Verkada’s core mission to protect people and places in a privacy-sensitive way by defining and driving our global privacy and data security narrative. These elements are never afterthoughts at Verkada; they are foundational to how we design our technology and a core differentiator that enables us to earn the trust of – and successfully sell to – some of the world’s largest organizations.

In this role, you will lead the charge in proactively establishing Verkada as the undisputed leader in how a cloud-first physical security company should approach privacy and data security. You will go incredibly deep into the weeds of our technical architecture, becoming a subject matter expert who can be strategically deployed to create customer-facing collateral, go toe-to-toe with technical experts and executive buyers, and evangelize our privacy and security posture across the entire go-to-market engine.

This role is deeply cross-functional and requires you to bring together stakeholders across the Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Communications teams. You will also partner closely with Verkada’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Chief Privacy Officer. This role will report into our Director of Product Marketing.

We are open to hiring at the Manager or Senior Manager level, depending on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.

We are committed to a thriving in-office culture. This role requires that you be on-site at our HQ in San Mateo, CA 5 days a week.
