Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Elastic is hiring a Principal Product Manager to define and deliver identity threat detection and response capabilities within Elastic Security. The role owns the ITDR strategy and roadmap, including protection for non-human and AI agent identities, and works with customers and cross-functional teams to improve detection, investigation, and response.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for a credible ITDR function within Elastic Security, evolving our Entity Analytics and Entity Store foundation from behavioral analytics into an identity-defense outcome
• Manage the plan for non-human and AI agent identities in Elastic Security. This involves modeling service accounts, workloads, secrets, and self-directed agents as important identities. Each identity will have its own behavior standards, ownership, and lifecycle. You will also establish how to detect identities that operate continuously and at machine scale
• Work with threat research and detection engineering. Focus on identity-specific threats. These threats include credential access, privilege escalation, and identity-based lateral movement. They also involve the abuse of identity providers and tokens. Ensure that these threats relate to real-world adversary tactics
• Drive the response and containment strategy. This is the 'R' in ITDR. Turn detections into action. Use identity-system integrations and automated responses. Make sure there is human oversight for important actions
• Work closely with our enterprise customers. Collaborate with security operations teams, sales, and solution architects. Your goal is to understand the requirements for identity attacks. You will also discuss priorities and clarify product needs
• Work with the design team to develop investigation and response experiences. These experiences will emphasize identity in the analyst workflow. Integrate identity signals with endpoint, cloud, and network data in the SIEM and XDR functions of our security operations platform
• Gain deep knowledge of the identity-security market. Know its major trends and the changing threat landscape. Use this information to develop a unique strategy and engage with analysts
• Be the product expert and evangelize Elastic's identity capabilities through content such as blog posts, talks, and open community interaction

Skills

• 10+ years of experience in product management or solution delivery for security products such as SIEM, XDR, EDR, identity security, or detection and response
• A consistent record of leading sophisticated, data-intensive products from inception through launch and iterative growth
• A solid knowledge of identity-based attack techniques and the identity fabric. This includes Active Directory, cloud identity providers, SSO, OAuth, and privileged access. It also involves knowing how identity threats can occur in both on-premises and cloud environments
• Knowledge of ITDR as a discipline and with entity behavioral analytics (UEBA)
• You need to be fluent in non-human identities. This includes service accounts, workloads, secrets, and AI agents
• You should also understand why traditional human-identity rules don't apply to identities that act independently and continuously
• Deep technical comprehension of the AI/ML landscape, including behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, LLMs, and agentic systems
• You are comfortable working closely with data scientists and engineers, and you treat AI agents both as a subject to be secured and as a tool that consumes identity context
• You are able to advance fast and quickly learn from experiments and tests
• You utilize AI tools to help accelerate your processes and bring clarity to your decisions
• Demonstrated ability to lead across a matrixed organization, align multiple stakeholders toward a common vision, and drive execution in a dynamic, remote-first environment
• You operate with the autonomy and judgment expected of a principal-level product leader
• Outstanding spoken and written communication skills and practices
• You can distill complex detection engineering and identity concepts into compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences, including executive leadership
• An interest for industry trends and a commitment to solving real-world customer problems
• You are an advocate for the security analyst and detection engineer, and you are focused on building products that help defenders stay ahead of identity-based threats
• If you are located in or are a national of one of the listed countries or regions, an export license may be required as a condition of your employment in this role

Benefits

• 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
• 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
• Minimum of 16 weeks of parental leave
