What is The Role: We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager to guide the vision, strategy, and execution for Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) within Elastic Security. Attackers not only break in - they log in. Identity is now a major target for attacks. These attacks can happen in on-premises setups, cloud environments, or with self-directed agents. Detecting and responding to identity-based attacks is essential for any modern Security Operations Center (SOC). In this high-impact role, you will define how Elastic detects, investigates, and responds to identity-based threats, building on our Entity Analytics and Entity Store foundation to deliver a credible, differentiated ITDR function.

You will also own the roadmap for securing non-human and AI agent identities within Elastic Security, one of the fastest-growing and least-governed attack surfaces in the enterprise. You will work at the intersection of identity, detection engineering, and AI, partnering with threat researchers, data scientists, and engineers, and evangelizing our approach to a global community of security practitioners.

What You Will Be Doing:

• 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.
• Establish how to detect identities that operate continuously and at machine scale.
• Work with threat research and detection engineering, focusing on identity-specific threats including credential access, privilege escalation, and identity-based lateral movement.
• Drive the response and containment strategy, turning detections into action using identity-system integrations and automated responses.
• Collaborate with security operations teams, sales, and solution architects to understand the requirements for identity attacks.
• Work with the design team to develop investigation and response experiences emphasizing 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 and 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.

What You Bring:

• 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 solid knowledge of identity-based attack techniques and the identity fabric, including Active Directory, cloud identity providers, SSO, OAuth, and privileged access.
• Deep technical comprehension of the AI/ML landscape, including behavioral analytics, anomaly detection, LLMs, and agentic systems.
• Demonstrated ability to lead across a matrixed organization and drive execution in a dynamic, remote-first environment.
• Outstanding spoken and written communication skills, able to distill complex concepts into compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• An interest in industry trends and a commitment to solving real-world customer problems.
