Senior Product Manager (XDR) - Security Solutions

Elastic

20h • $155,700 - $237,200 • Remote

About The Position

Elastic Security is looking for a Senior Product Manager to help build and grow Elastic XDR. This role puts you close to understanding how attacks unfold and where defenders lose time. You will own a core area of the XDR roadmap end to end, from requirements through shipped, iterated product, and contribute to the exposure and vulnerability capabilities now converging with it. You will be a credible product voice in front of security customers and work on a platform with a unified data model and flexible deployment options, partnering closely with Engineering and the Elastic Security Labs research team. This is a role for a product manager ready to own meaningful surface area in a fast-moving space and grow toward broader ownership.

Requirements

• 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.
• 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.
• You can discuss correlation, response, and detection engineering credibly.
• Comfort building or owning products that rely on heterogeneous third-party data, with a awareness that XDR depends on ingestion breadth and healthy integrations.
• A solid comprehension of the analytics techniques behind detection and prioritization and of the current cyber threat landscape.
• You earn respect from engineering through the quality of your requirements, and you know enough about architecture to judge feasibility and scope.
• 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.
• You can distill complex detection engineering and exposure concepts into clear narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• 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.
• You have operated across Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success, and you drive execution in a dynamic, remote-first environment with growing autonomy.
• 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.

Nice To Haves

• A practitioner background before transitioning into product is a solid plus.
• Familiarity with AI security, how AI, ML, and agentic systems are attacked and defended, is a plus.

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.

Benefits

• Competitive pay based on the work you do here and not your previous salary
• Health coverage for you and your family in many locations
• Ability to craft your calendar with flexible locations and schedules for many roles
• Generous number of vacation days each year
• Increase your impact - We match up to $2000 (or local currency equivalent) for financial donations and service
• Up to 40 hours each year to use toward volunteer projects you love
• Embracing parenthood with minimum of 16 weeks of parental leave
• Company-matched 401k with dollar-for-dollar matching up to 6% of eligible earnings
• Stock program
