Senior Product Manager (XDR) - Security Solutions

Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale , unleashing the potential of businesses and people. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter.

Elastic Security is looking for a Senior Product Manager to help build and grow Elastic XDR. Great detection-and-response products come from a clear read of how attacks unfold and where defenders lose time, and this role puts you close to both.

Responsibilities

• Own a core area of the XDR roadmap end to end: drive detection, correlation, incident building, and response capabilities across endpoint, cloud, identity, and network, from requirements through shipped and iterated product.
• Expand and maintain the telemetry and integrations XDR depends on: first-party Elastic data plus third-party EDR, cloud, identity, and network sources that let the product correlate across a real environment.
• Contribute to Elastic's exposure and vulnerability management work, including prioritization based on exploitability and reachability rather than raw CVSS, and remediation workflow.
• Write requirements engineering can act on without follow-up clarification meetings, and translate customer input and threat research from Elastic Security Labs into product.
• Represent product in customer conversations, including senior security stakeholders, and bring what you learn back into the roadmap.
• Ensure your capabilities work across Elastic's deployment models, from cloud to on-premises to air-gapped, so they hold up in regulated and disconnected environments.
• Maintain well-developed awareness of the competitive landscape and GTM strategies.
• Create artifacts such as roadmap trackers and decision memos that give stakeholders visibility without requiring a meeting.

Requirements

• 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.
• Detection and Response Domain Knowledge: Hands-on knowledge of XDR, EDR, SIEM, incident response, or forensic either as a product manager or as a practitioner such as a SOC analyst, detection engineer, or incident responder.
• Telemetry and Integration Breadth: Comfort building or owning products that rely on heterogeneous third-party data, with a 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.
• Technical Credibility: You earn respect from engineering through the quality of your requirements, and you know enough about architecture to judge feasibility and scope.
• 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.
• Communication Excellence: You can distill complex detection engineering and exposure concepts into clear narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
