Summary
We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to lead the Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM & SOAR) product that underpins our cyber threat detection, incident response, and protective monitoring capabilities. You will own the vision, strategy, roadmap, and value realisation for Sentinel across the organisation working closely with Security Operations (SOC), Cyber Defence, Platform Engineering, Service Management, and Delivery teams to continuously improve outcomes such as mean time to detect (MTTD), mean time to respond (MTTR), and risk reduction.
This role suits a technically fluent product leader who can translate cyber and operational needs into measurable product outcomes, orchestrate multidisciplinary delivery (engineering, content, analytics, automation), and manage stakeholders across policy, operations, and senior leadership.
As an experienced Product manager, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining an evidence‑based product roadmap, covering areas such as data connector onboarding, analytics and detection content, automation playbooks, UEBA (user behaviour analytics) and threat intelligence integration. You will prioritise delivery based on user needs, value, risk and technical constraints.
You will lead work with a multidisciplinary team, owning the product backlog and supporting agile, user‑centred delivery. You will define and track key performance measures, including detection coverage, alert fidelity, false‑positive rates, MTTD/MTTR and platform performance, and report progress to governance forums and senior stakeholders.
Strong stakeholder engagement is essential. You will work closely with SOC analysts, incident responders, architects, CISOs, Red/Purple teams, data owners, internal audit and external suppliers/MSSPs. You will ensure operational needs are fully understood and reflected in product decisions, and that Sentinel supports high‑quality detection and response through analytics rules, automation workflows, dashboards, incident processes and hunting capability.
You will provide technical product oversight, including prioritisation of log sources and telemetry (across Microsoft Defender, Entra ID, Azure, on‑prem and third‑party tools), workspace design, RBAC, retention, ingestion, data normalisation and platform performance. You will oversee the detection engineering lifecycle and maintain effective governance, including version control, change management and quality assurance.
You will ensure the product aligns with organisational security standards, logging requirements and regulatory expectations such as ISO 27001/2 and NCSC guidance. The role will support audit readiness, manage relationships with Microsoft and security partners, and evaluate marketplace or third‑party solutions, leading procurement activity or business cases where required.
As a people leader, you will create an inclusive and supportive environment, developing and coaching team members and promoting continuous improvement and learning.
