Senior Director, Product Management - XDR
About The Position
The Senior Director of Product Management, XDR is accountable for defining, delivering, and scaling Arctic Wolf’s Extended Detection and Response (XDR) product strategy. This role owns the end‑to‑end product vision, roadmap, and execution for XDR capabilities that unify telemetry, detections, investigations, and response across endpoint, identity, network, cloud, SaaS, and third‑party ecosystems. This role is driving the plans and execution of transposing Arctic Wolf’s leading MDR offering into a productized XDR experience. This leader operates at the intersection of platform, detections, integrations, and managed services, ensuring XDR delivers clear customer outcomes, competitive differentiation, and a durable foundation for both MDR‑led and product‑led use cases. The Director partners deeply with Engineering, Security Services, Data Platform, AI, Product Marketing, and GTM teams to translate strategy into shipped capabilities that scale operationally and commercially.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in Product Management, with 4+ years leading product managers or product teams.
- Deep experience in cybersecurity products, with direct exposure to XDR, MDR, EDR, SIEM, or adjacent security operations domains.
- Proven ability to lead complex, platform‑oriented product areas with multiple stakeholders and dependencies.
- Strong strategic thinking paired with hands‑on execution discipline.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with integrations‑heavy platforms and third‑party ecosystems.
- Familiarity with managed security services and SOC operations.
- Experience operating in high‑growth, enterprise SaaS environments.
Responsibilities
- Own the XDR vision, strategy, and multi‑year roadmap, covering telemetry ingestion, detections, investigation workflows, response actions, reporting, ai differentiation, and proof‑of‑value reporting.
- Define how XDR capabilities support both managed (MDR) and customer‑managed / hybrid consumption models.
- Drive clear positioning of XDR relative to MDR, SIEM, EDR, and competitive alternatives.
- Partner with platform, data, and IDR teams to ensure scalable, high‑quality detections across signals, with clear lifecycle management and cost awareness.
- Own prioritization and outcomes for XDR integrations, ensuring breadth, depth, reliability, and operational readiness in partnership with Services and third‑party vendors.
- Ensure XDR leverages shared platform capabilities (data pipelines, AI, case management, response frameworks) rather than duplicating functionality.
- Translate complex security capabilities into intuitive investigator and analyst experiences that reduce cognitive load and improve response effectiveness.
- Partnering with the MDR product leadership, define and operationalize consistent proof‑of‑value metrics (e.g., MTTD, MTTI, MTTR, detection efficacy, integration health) that clearly demonstrate customer impact.
- Partner with Product Marketing and GTM teams to support launches, enablement, and competitive differentiation.
- Work closely with Engineering to deliver roadmaps predictably, balancing innovation with quality, scalability, and technical debt management.
- Collaborate with Security Services to ensure XDR capabilities are operationally viable, supportable, and aligned with real SOC workflows.
- Act as a visible product leader across the organization, aligning stakeholders and resolving tradeoffs decisively.
- Establish strong product management practices: discovery rigor, outcome‑based roadmapping, success metrics, and stakeholder communication.
- Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.
