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
• 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
• 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
• 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.
