  • Proven track-record in marketing successful product launches in fast-paced environments.

  • A work ethic of going above and beyond to make things happen. Ability to be hands-on and thrive in a fast-paced environment with strong project management skills.

Today, Proton makes privacy universally accessible. Journalists from outlets like The Guardian and The New York Times, some of the worldโ€™s largest organizations, and people in more than 180 countries have signed up for over 70 million accounts. Our diverse and dynamic team is made up of more than 400 members representing over 40 different nationalities. While we are based in Geneva, Switzerland, we have offices in Zurich, Prague, London, Vilnius, Skopje, Taipei, and many more employees working remotely around the world.
