Malwarebytes is reimagining security to safeguard devices, data, and people — no matter their location, lifestyle, or means. What began in 2008 with one person helping another remove a malware infection has grown into a global leader in online protection, with an all-in-one suite of cybersecurity, privacy, and identity protection solutions that empower millions of people worldwide to enjoy their digital lives, free from threats and scams.



About Malwarebytes Inc.

Our portfolio has grown far beyond malware removal into a full suite of award-winning cybersecurity, privacy, and identity solutions, from the free tools that have long served as a first line of defense to newer options for identity protection and personal data removal. The threat landscape keeps getting faster, stealthier, and more sophisticated, and we believe protection should be both powerful and refreshingly simple — because security that's too hard to use doesn't get used. Built and beloved by experts, we combine world-class threat research with proprietary, AI-powered processes to deliver powerful digital protection that's always by your side.

  • Act as a trusted proxy for the CEO in meetings, decisions, and follow-through

  • Demonstrated ownership of complex, cross-functional programs with real outcomes — not just coordination
  • Strong financial and analytical fluency; comfortable translating consumer product roadmap and operating metrics into financial assumptions
  • Experience shaping consumer product strategy and persona/ICP targeting
  • A storytelling toolkit that complements the management team in framing strategy for executive and board audiences
  • Proven ability to drive organizational change from ideation through communication and repeated reinforcement

Perks & Benefit:
