Security Analytics - Senior Product Manager (Workflows & Automation)

What is The Role

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.

What You Will Be Doing

As a Senior Product Manager for Workflows & Automation, you will:

• 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

What You Bring

• 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

Knowledge – You know a lot about

• 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
  
  

Experience – You’ve succeeded for at least

• 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
  

Proficiency and Education – You have

• 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

Who should apply

This role is a strong fit if you:

• 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.
