Job Summary 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.  

Responsibilities Role ownership  

• 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.  

Qualifications • Must-have qualifications  

• Experience as a Product Manager owning cross-functional delivery in a complex technical environment.  

• Strong understanding of Security Operations concepts, including SIEM, detection engineering, incident response, case management, and security automation.  

• Experience prioritizing roadmaps and backlogs across multiple stakeholder groups with competing demands.  

• Ability to translate technical platform work into clear user value, measurable outcomes, and release criteria.  

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to work effectively with engineers, analysts, managers, and executives.  

• Experience building processes, KPIs, and operating cadences in environments where teams depend
