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

• 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.
• Experience with workflow automation and orchestration platforms, whether in security, IT, DevOps, or adjacent domains.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures, integrations, and API-first systems.
• Understanding of security operations concepts and workflows (or the ability and curiosity to learn them quickly).
• Knowledge of cloud platforms and services (AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Experience with distributed systems and system-to-system communication.
• Awareness of the broader ecosystem of automation tools, platforms, and approaches.
• 4–6 years in product management or a closely related technical role.
• Experience building products that span multiple systems, integrations, or teams.
• Experience 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.

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.
