Job description

At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection.

Your role in the team

We are seeking an experienced Digital Product Manager to lead the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of security-focused products that protect enterprise assets and enable secure-by-default development practices. This role will own the lifecycle of critical security tools and platforms, utilized by the enterprise. The ideal candidate combines strong product management expertise with a deep understanding of security principles, DevSecOps practices, and modern engineering workflows. Additionally, the candidate will leverage AI-driven capabilities to optimize workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and enhance efficiency across security operations and product management processes. This role requires forward-thinking and strategic planning to anticipate future security needs, define measurable outcomes, and ensure products deliver long-term value. Success will be measured by risk reduction, improved developer experience and compliance adherence.

Key responsibilities

• Define Product Strategy & Vision: Establish and communicate the vision, roadmap and success metrics for security products aligned to enterprise risk posture and compliance requirements.
• Set Clear Outcomes: Define what success looks like for each product, including measurable KPIs.
• Plan for Scalability & Future Needs: Anticipate evolving security threats and compliance requirements. Design products that scale and adapt to future enterprise needs.
• Incorporate AI for Efficiency: Identify opportunities to integrate AI into daily workflows to automate repetitive tasks, improve decision‑making and maximise efficiency.
• Manage Product Development: Collaborate with engineering and security teams to design and deliver secure‑by‑default capabilities integrated into developer workflows (IDE, CI/CD pipelines). Maintain backlog, write and groom user stories, and drive iterative releases using Agile methodologies.
• Enable Data‑Driven Decisions: Define and monitor KPIs for success. Use analytics and risk reporting to validate assumptions and optimise adoption.
• Stakeholder Communication: Lead product ceremonies and communicate progress, risks and trade-offs to engineering leadership, security teams and partners.

Essential Skills

• All applicants must demonstrate a legal right to work in the UK for employment at Allstate. Allstate is not providing sponsorship for this vacancy.
• A minimum of 5 years’ experience conducting product scoping, discovery, framing, owning and managing a backlog (in agile or similar tools) of products for a digital product team.
• A minimum of 1 year’s experience operating as a ‘coach’ partnering and mentoring early‑trade product management peers across a broader technology organisation.
• Strong understanding of security principles, secure SDLC and DevSecOps practices.
• Demonstrated ability to define success metrics (KPIs/OKRs), make data‑driven decisions and plan strategically for long‑term product impact.
• Proven experience in Agile product delivery (backlog management, ceremonies, iterative releases).
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines, policy‑as‑code and automation in security workflows.

Desirable Skills

• Familiarity with application security tools (SAST, DAST, SCA), secrets management (Vault/KMS), IAM/PAM, vulnerability management and cloud security posture management.
• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and PaaS; tools such as Postman, Mural/Figma, Jira, Azure DevOps or VersionOne.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., Security+, CSSLP, CISSP, CCSP) or equivalent experience.
• Knowledge of AI‑assisted development tools (Copilot, Cursor) and ability to leverage them for productivity gains.
