Elastic Security is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own a core area of the XDR roadmap end to end, from requirements through shipped product. You will work closely with Engineering and the Elastic Security Labs to build detection, correlation, and response capabilities.
You will represent product in conversations with senior security stakeholders, translate threat research into requirements, and help ensure the platform remains capable across cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped environments.
Detection and Response Domain Knowledge: Hands-on knowledge of XDR, EDR, SIEM, incident response, or forensics either as a product manager or as a practitioner such as a SOC analyst, detection engineer, or incident responder. You can discuss correlation, response, and detection engineering credibly. A practitioner background before transitioning into product is a solid plus
Technical Credibility: You earn respect from engineering through the quality of your requirements, and you know enough about architecture to judge feasibility and scope
Communication Excellence: You can distill complex detection engineering and exposure concepts into clear narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences
Customer-Facing Confidence: You are comfortable representing product to security customers, including senior stakeholders, and can hold both the practitioner and the leadership view in the same conversation
Comfortable with AI-Augmented Work: You use AI tooling for synthesis, research, and delivery as a regular part of your workflow, and you own the final outcomes regardless of how they were produced
Proficiency and Education: A robust interest in cybersecurity and its challenges is essential. Attention to detail is important. You must also have the ability to understand the bigger picture. A BS or MS degree in engineering, computer science, or information security is required
Telemetry and Integration Breadth: Comfort building or owning products that rely on heterogeneous third-party data, with an awareness that XDR depends on ingestion breadth and healthy integrations
Analytics and Threat Understanding: A solid comprehension of the analytics techniques behind detection and prioritization and of the current cyber threat landscape. Familiarity with AI security, how AI, ML, and agentic systems are attacked and defended, is a plus. Solid comprehension is required; hands-on modeling is not
Cross-functional Collaboration: You have operated across Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success, and you drive execution in a dynamic, remote-first environment with growing autonomy
Experience: At least 5 years in security-related technical product management, competitive analysis, or technical marketing, and a minimum of 3 years in a related product development or technical field. A track record of owning product areas from requirements through shipped, iterated outcomes
