Join Proton and build a better internet where privacy is the default

At Proton, we believe that privacy is a fundamental human right and the cornerstone of democracy. Since our inception in 2014, founded by a team of scientists from CERN, we have dedicated ourselves to providing free and open-source technology to millions worldwide, ensuring access to privacy, security, and freedom online.

Our journey began with Proton Mail, the largest secure email service globally, and has since expanded to include Proton VPN, Proton Calendar, Proton Drive, and Proton Pass. These tools empower individuals and organizations to take control of their personal data, break away from Big Tech’s invasive practices, and defeat censorship. Our work impacts hundreds of millions of lives, from activists on the front lines defending freedom to leaders in governments protecting sensitive information. In some cases, Proton’s services have even been instrumental in saving lives by enabling secure and private communications in high-risk situations.

Proton today supports over 100 million user accounts with a growing team of over 500 people from over 50 different countries, from the world's top companies and universities. We value intelligence, learning potential, and ambition in our hiring process. Adaptability is key as we navigate uncharted territories and redefine how business is conducted online. We believe smaller teams of exceptional talent will always prevail over larger teams with lower talent density. Proton has become profitable and reached scale without relying upon VC funding, largely due to superior talent that allows us to do things faster, more creatively, and more efficiently.

We have a global mindset and big ambitions but remain a start-up at heart. We value empowerment and flexibility and keep our structure flat to keep moving fast and avoid unnecessary politics.

- Track success metrics to define product-market-fit.
Scaling new products:
- Test and scale marketing channels based on impact, iterating quickly.
- Develop and execute integrated marketing plans, spanning product marketing, content, lifecycle, paid, and partnerships.
- Track and analyze success metrics tied to awareness, activation, retention, and conversion.
- Manage multiple new products at one time and define how they fit into the broader Proton brand and ecosystem.

What we need from you:

10+ years experience in product marketing, growth marketing, or full-stack marketing roles, with a strong focus on 0 to 1 product launches.
Demonstrated success launching B2C products, especially in startup or scale-up environments.
Experience working with early-stage products to identify and iterate toward product-market fit.
Deep comfort with ambiguity, experimentation, and fast decision-making.
Strong instincts for brand, creative, and storytelling, paired with a data-informed mindset.
Ownership mentality and the ability to build from scratch and rally others around your vision.
Ability to self-organize, prioritize, and take initiative to provide strategic recommendations on how marketing can shape growth.
Generalist mindset with fluency across performance marketing, lifecycle, SEO, comms, and product marketing.
High agency, low ego, and strong collaboration skills.

Nice to haves:

Partnerships experience
Experience in social networking, communications, or AI
Team management experience

Even if you don’t meet all the requirements listed above, but feel you could still be a great fit, please still apply.
