Frontegg is a fastgrowing SaaS platform that provides secure, enterprisegrade user management infrastructure for modern product teams. As the company continues to accelerate its expansion and push toward the next stage of ARR growth, Frontegg identified the need for a senior product leader capable of shaping strategy, elevating execution, and strengthening crossfunctional alignment.

The Challenge

Frontegg sought a VP of Product to lead the entire product function, including:

• Ownership of strategy, roadmap, and execution
• Hiring and developing the product team
• Deep partnership with the CEO, CTO, CMO, and VP Sales as part of the executive leadership group
• Defining a product vision aligned with company objectives and customer insights

The ideal candidate needed a rare blend of seniority, technical fluency, and scaling experience, including:

• 8+ years in product leadership, with 3+ years at VP level
• Proven track record of scaling a SaaS business from $5M to $30M ARR
• Expertise in B2B infrastructure, developer tools, or security platforms
• Strong grounding in product-led security
• Capability across both inbound product discovery and outbound product strategy

This high bar, combined with competitive market demand for senior product leaders in infrastructure SaaS, created a complex hiring landscape.

Space Executive’s Positioning

Space Executive engaged with Frontegg to:

• Map the global senior product leadership market across SaaS, DevTools, and security
• Identify candidates experienced in ARR scaling and enterprise-grade technical products
• Align on the organisational fit required for a hands-on, commercially attuned VP of Product
• Provide insights on compensation, talent availability, and competitor hiring patterns

While the search was scoped, Frontegg ultimately chose to pause external agency engagement during this phase, opting first to explore internal and network-driven options.

Outcome

Frontegg confirmed the strategic need for a VP of Product with proven scaling credentials
