Responsibilities

• Lead Elastic's XDR expansion into exposure and vulnerability management.
• Draw the line between XDR, exposure, and the adjacent surfaces such as attack surface and cloud posture, bringing those signals in as inputs rather than standing up separate products.
• Partner with the Entity Analytics team on the asset criticality and entity context that exposure prioritization depends on.
• Serve as the product voice with senior customer stakeholders, including the CISO and VP of Security Operations.
• Become the internal authority on the competitive landscape, including major security vendors and MDR service providers.

Requirements

• Endpoint Detection and Response Domain Knowledge: Hands-on knowledge of XDR, EDR, SIEM, or broader security operations.

• Analytics and Threat Understanding: A solid comprehension of the analytics and data science techniques behind detection and prioritization.
• Technical Credibility: Earn respect from engineering through the quality of your requirements.
• Executive Presence: Comfortable as the primary product voice with C-suite and VP-level customer stakeholders.
• Cross-functional Fluency: Operate across Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success.
• Default to AI-Augmented Work: Use AI tooling for synthesis, research, and delivery as a regular part of your workflow.
• Management and Influence: Demonstrated ability to lead across a matrixed organization.
• Flexible working styles: Collaborate successfully with different functions and teams.
