Senior Product Manager, Security Operations; SecOps

Who are we?

Equinix is the world’s digital infrastructure company®, shortening the path to connectivity to enable the innovations that enrich our work, life and planet. A place where bold ideas are welcomed, human connection is valued, and everyone has the opportunity to shape their future.

We are looking for a Product Manager, Sec Ops to lead the strategy, roadmap, and adoption of security capabilities embedded directly into our engineering ecosystem. This is a product role focused on making security scalable, automated, developer-friendly, and measurable. The Product Manager will act as a single product owner, ensuring detections, automation, telemetry onboarding, and platform changes are production-ready, governed, measurable, and adopted by analysts and responders.

• End‑to‑end detection lifecycle: Drive the process from threat‑informed idea generation through rule development, testing, deployment, tuning, analyst adoption, and retirement.
• Sec Ops 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.
• Detection and rule lifecycle ownership: 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.
• Own and maintain the Sec Ops product roadmap: Align 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; 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 improve response speed, alert quality, coverage, and analyst efficiency.
• Document requirements, business value, user workflows, acceptance criteria, and rollout plans.
