We innovated the market-leading enterprise password manager and pioneered Unified Access Management, a new cybersecurity category built for the way people and AI agents work today.

Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.
We’re looking for a Senior Communications Manager to lead communications for our AI, developer, and ecosystem initiatives at a pivotal moment in 1Password’s evolution.
1Password is redefining identity security for a world where access is no longer human-only or confined to login. Employees, AI agents, and machine workloads all act using credentials across SaaS, endpoints, and developer workflows. In this role, you will help tell how 1Password is the platform that secures access across human, agent, and machine identities through continuous authorization and runtime control.
You will own and drive programs spanning developer awareness, AI thought leadership, and ecosystem partnerships, working closely with executive spokespeople, product, partnerships, and marketing teams. This role requires both strategic thinking and hands-on execution, with the opportunity to build a program from the ground up and directly influence how 1Password is perceived in one of the most important shifts in security.
How we’re using AI today
On the Marketing team, we’re growing our AI capability together and redesigning how work gets done. We’ve built agents to improve workflows focused on competitive intelligence, content creation, and campaign planning, helping us stay sharp, reduce context-switching, and surface the right information at the right time. AI helps us coordinate, execute, and uncover insights faster so we can spend more time on what’s most important: performance, judgement, and driving the future of 1Password.
