CLEAR is building THE secure identity company of the future. Our mission is to make experiences safer and easier—physically and digitally. With more than 38 million Members and a growing network of partners across the world, CLEAR's secure identity platform is transforming the way people live, work, and travel. Whether it’s at the airport, stadium, or throughout your everyday life, CLEAR unlocks the magic of frictionless experiences.
We're hiring a Product Lead to lead the evolution of our identity and evidence platform powering both CLEAR Travel and CLEAR1. This role is responsible for evolving the systems that establish, maintain, and leverage high-integrity identity across consumer and enterprise experiences—enabling seamless, secure interactions wherever CLEAR operates.
What You’ll Do:
Own the Identity Verification Platform
Lead the strategy and roadmap for CLEAR’s identity and evidence platform across consumer (CLEAR+) and enterprise (CLEAR1) products
Build reusable proofing, verification, and evidence services that power all CLEAR surfaces (mobile, web, airport, partner integrations)
Advance Identity Assurance & Evidence Systems
Expand and optimize source verification to improve assurance, reduce cost, and increase coverage
Define how identity is established (proofing) vs. continuously evaluated (signals), and evolve both layers over time
Drive alignment with National Institute of Standards and Technology frameworks (e.g., IAL2/IAL3) while maintaining flexibility for real-world use cases
Build a Scalable, Reusable Identity Layer
Decouple identity from individual products—ensuring identity can be created once and leveraged across multiple experiences and relying parties
Develop systems for evidence storage, re-use, and auditability to support network-level advantages

8+ years of product management experience, preferably in identity, fintech, security, or highly regulated environments
Strong technical fluency across backend systems, APIs, and distributed architectures
Deep understanding of identity proofing, authentication, and fraud systems (e.g., document verification, biometrics, device intelligence, data corroboration)
Familiarity with standards such as NIST 800-63 or equivalent assurance frameworks
Exceptional analytical skills—ability to decompose ambiguity and identify root causes quickly
Proven ability to define and execute multi-quarter strategies across complex systems
Strong grasp of cost structures and ability to drive meaningful efficiency improvements
