- We are looking for a Product Manager, SecOps to lead the strategy, roadmap, and adoption of security capabilities embedded directly into our engineering ecosystem
- This is not a policy-writing or governance role. It is a product role focused on making security scalable, automated, developer-friendly, and measurable
- Security Operations depends on tight coordination between the teams that build and manage security capabilities and the teams that use those capabilities to detect and respond to threats
- This Product Manager role creates a single product owner for that boundary, ensuring detections, automation, telemetry onboarding, and platform changes are production-ready, governed, measurable, and adopted by analysts and responders
- End-to-end detection lifecycle: Drive the process from threat-informed idea generation through rule development, testing, deployment, tuning, analyst adoption, and retirement
- SecOps backlog prioritization: Maintain and prioritize a shared roadmap across telemetry onboarding, detection content, SOAR playbooks, analyst workflows, and platform enhancements
- Operational readiness: Ensure new capabilities launch with runbooks, ownership, success criteria, training, support processes, documentation, and release criteria
- Cross-team process improvement: Identify and reduce friction in handoffs between engineering and operations, resolving delivery blockers and unclear ownership
- Platform value realization: Translate security platform capabilities into measurable outcomes, including improved alert quality, faster response, broader telemetry coverage, and higher automation effectiveness
- Stakeholder alignment: Create clear decision-making forums and communication rhythms across security engineering, monitoring and response, incident management, and threat intelligence
- Key areas of focus:
- Detection and rule lifecycle: Own the product process for how detections move from concept to value, including intake, prioritization, test standards, analyst validation, tuning, coverage review, readiness criteria, handoff quality, false-positive trends, alert fidelity, and lifecycle decisions
- Telemetry and log onboarding strategy:
Prioritize log sources, parser improvements, and schema normalization based on risk, coverage gaps, investigative value, analyst needs, concrete use cases, dependencies, sequencing, and effort tradeoffs
- SOAR and automation governance: Scale automation safely by improving how ideas are submitted, reviewed, built, tested, approved, and adopted; clarify ownership, controls, approvals, adoption measures, success rates, analyst time savings, and failure patterns
- Platform roadmap and feature adoption: Partner with technical leaders to shape adoption of SIEM, SOAR, and AI-assisted operational capabilities, including rollout plans, operational testing, enablement, success metrics, detection-as-code, composite detections, and standardized content management
- Metrics, reporting, and operating cadence: Define KPIs, health dashboards, and recurring reviews for detection quality, onboarding throughput, automation effectiveness, operational readiness, roadmap priorities, launch readiness, and post-launch performance
- What you’ll do:
- Own and maintain the SecOps product roadmap across shared engineering and operations priorities
- Partner with leaders in detection engineering, monitoring and response, incident management, and threat intelligence to define quarterly objectives
- Facilitate prioritization decisions for detections, log sources, automations, integrations, and workflow improvements
- Define launch criteria for new security content and capabilities, including documentation, training, support model, and success measures
- Run structured intake and triage for stakeholder requests and convert them into a clear, ranked backlog
- Lead cross-functional reviews to resolve delivery blockers, unclear ownership, and handoff gaps
- Develop metrics that show whether new capabilities are improving response speed, alert quality, coverage, and analyst efficiency
- Document requirements, business value, user workflows, acceptance criteria, and rollout plans
- Represent operational needs in platform discussions and represent engineering realities in operational planning
- Drive continuous improvement based on analyst feedback, incident learnings, and evolving threat priorities- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to work effectively with engineers, analysts, managers, and executives
- Experience as a Product Manager owning cross-functional delivery in a complex technical setting
- Experience building processes, KPIs, and operating cadences in environments where teams depend on one another for outcomes
- Strong understanding of Security Operations concepts, including SIEM, detection engineering, incident response, case management, and security automation
- Ability to translate technical platform work into clear user value, measurable outcomes, and release criteria
- Comfort working with ambiguity and turning loosely defined needs into clear plans and decisions.
- Experience prioritizing roadmaps and backlogs across multiple stakeholder groups with competing demands
- Experience supporting or partnering closely with Security Operations Center, incident response, or threat detection teams
- Familiarity with security telemetry pipelines, data normalization, and log onboarding workflows
- Understanding of response automation design, control frameworks, and approval models for high-impact actions
- Exposure to detection engineering practices such as rule testing, content lifecycle management, and detection-as-code
- Experience with SIEM and SOAR platforms such as Google SecOps, Chronicle, Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Palo Alto XSIAM, or similar technologies
- Experience using data to evaluate false positives, alert quality, operational throughput, and workflow adoption
- Knowledge of common security frameworks and operating models such as NIST incident response guidance
