Role
Who you are
- Think in terms of systems, workflows, and outcomes, not just individual features
- Balance flexibility and power with usability, guardrails, and operational safety
- Work effectively with engineers on integration-heavy, event-driven systems
- Communicate complex concepts clearly to a wide range of stakeholders
- Make progress in ambiguous problem spaces through iteration and learning
- Workflow automation and orchestration platforms, whether in security, IT, DevOps, or adjacent domains
- Event-driven architectures, integrations, and API-first systems
- Security operations concepts and workflows (or you have the ability and curiosity to learn them quickly)
- Cloud platforms and services (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Distributed systems and system-to-system communication
- The broader ecosystem of automation tools, platforms, and approaches
- 4–6 years in product management or a closely related technical role
- Building products that span multiple systems, integrations, or teams
- Owning roadmap areas that require balancing platform capabilities with concrete user workflows
- A strong interest in automation, systems design, and product craftsmanship
- Empathy for operators and practitioners working in high-signal, high-volume environments
- Comfort working in a distributed, fast-moving organization
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills
- A BS/MS degree in engineering, computer science, information security, or equivalent practical experience
Desirable
- Have built or owned workflow automation, orchestration, or integration-heavy products, whether in security, DevOps, IT operations, SaaS platforms, or infrastructure tooling
- Enjoy working on horizontal capabilities that power many use cases, rather than narrowly scoped features
- Think in terms of flows, states, triggers, and outcomes, and care deeply about how systems behave in real operational environments
- Are comfortable working on products where flexibility and guardrails must coexist
- Have partnered closely with engineering teams on complex, distributed, or event-driven systems
- May not be a security expert today, but are excited to learn the security domain and apply your automation experience to high-impact workflows
- Care about reducing manual toil and helping teams scale through better systems, not more people
What the job involves
- Elastic is looking for a Senior Product Manager to join the Elastic Security product team with a focus on workflows and automation. In this role, you will report to a Director of Product Management and help define how Elastic customers automate work across complex systems
- This is a growth role for a product manager who enjoys building horizontal capabilities, thinks in systems and flows, and is motivated by reducing human toil through well-designed automation
- Own and evolve core workflow and automation capabilities used across Elastic Security, including orchestration, triggers, actions, integrations, and control flow
- Design automation that supports end-to-end security workflows, while remaining flexible enough to apply to adjacent and future use cases
- Partner closely with engineering to build scalable, extensible automation primitives that work across diverse tools, data sources, and environments
- Conduct deep customer discovery with security teams to understand operational patterns, pain points, and where automation provides the most leverage
- Translate workflow needs into clear product direction, roadmaps, and measurable outcomes
- Collaborate across product areas (Security, Platform, Integrations, UX) to ensure workflows feel cohesive, intuitive, and composable
- Help define positioning and differentiation for Elastic’s approach to workflows, particularly relative to traditional SOAR tools and bespoke automation
- Support customer-facing engagements, including roadmap discussions, design partnerships, and feedback sessions
Our take
Organizations are dealing with exploding data volumes increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, and the growing expectation tha ttechnology should help act on problems, not just report them. Ai is moving from experimentation into real operations, especially in security and observability where speed and context are critical. So now, both enterprises and governments are looking for simpler, shared platforms that sale easily and reduce complexity rather than add to it.
And Elastic sits at the intersection of these needs with its Search AI Platform that helps organizations turn large amounts of structured and unstructured data into clear insights and actiontions across search, security, and observability. Elastic's strength lies in its open, flexible approach, which breaks down data silos and provides a context people and AI systems need to make daster, better decisions. The goal is straightforward: help teams see what's happening, understand it quickly, and respond confidently.
Recently, the company worked with CISA to deliver a unified, cloud-based SIEM for US federal agencies, this highlights strong trust in Elastic's security and scalability. Alongside this, its AWS Agentic AI Specialization also reflects leadership in making autonomous AI system practical and reliable. Together, these milestones position Elastic well for the future, as organizations increasingly rely on shared platforms and intelligent systems to manage ris, complexity, and growth.
