CyberSecurity Automation & AI Product Owner

You will lead the product vision, roadmap, and delivery for our Security Automation portfolio across SOAR and ServiceNow automation, expanding it with Applied AI/Data Science use cases for SecOps. You will partner with SOC, Incident Response and Threat Intelligence teams to turn pain points into measurable outcomes: Reducing MTTA/MTTR, cutting manual effort, and improving detection and response quality.

This role also stewards capabilities towards an “autonomous SOC” model: The convergence of AI and automation that enables human-in-the-loop decisioning, policy-driven guardrails, and continuous evaluation. The focus is on building trustworthy, transparent, and measurable product capabilities.

Tasks and responsibilities

  • Own the product strategy: define the vision and portfolio-level OKRs for SOAR, ServiceNow automation, and Applied AI in SecOps; align with risk reduction, quality, and efficiency goals.
  • Shape and prioritize the roadmap and backlog across the three workstreams (SOAR, ServiceNow, AI).
  • Drive outcomes over outputs: set measurable KPIs (MTTA/MTTR reduction, automation coverage, playbook success rate, false-positive reduction, model precision/recall, cost per execution) and run quarterly reviews.
  • Lead delivery at scale: run planning cadences (PI/QBR, sprint planning, reviews, retros), define Definition of Ready/Done, ensure quality gates and release criteria, and remove impediments for the team.
  • Architecture & standards ownership: set product-level guidelines for reliability, security, observability, error handling, idempotency, and secret management; publish reusable patterns and reference designs.
  • Change management & enablement: champion adoption through documentation, runbooks, training, and internal marketing; measure usage, satisfaction, and operational impact.
  • Team leadership: mentor and grow engineers/analysts, influence hiring, establish ways of working, and foster a culture of experimentation, data-driven decisions, and continuous improvement.
  • Risk & compliance: ensure data governance, access controls, auditability, and alignment with security and privacy requirements; coordinate control mapping and evidence with GRC teams.

Requirements 

  • Bachelor’s/Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or equivalent experience.
  • Track record leading cross-functional teams to deliver security automation and AI features.
  • 5+ years in Cybersecurity/IT with 2+ years in Product Management/Ownership or Technical Program Management delivering automation and/or AI products.
  • Proven delivery with SOAR (Logic Apps/Playbooks) at scale.
  • Hands-on Applied AI/Data Science for SecOps: experience shaping use cases and partnering with data teams on NLP, anomaly detection, classification, risk scoring; strong grasp of evaluation (precision/recall/F1), drift management, model monitoring, and MLOps (e.g., Azure ML/Databricks/Synapse).
  • Solid technical fluency: Python and/or PowerShell literacy, APIs/REST, JSON, webhooks, OAuth/service principals, and event-driven patterns.
  • Demonstrated impact on MTTA/MTTR, false-positive reduction, and automation rate; metrics-driven decision making.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication across SOC, IR, Engineering, and leadership; ability to translate requirements into value.
  • KQL for Sentinel analytics/hunting; Microsoft Defender/EDR/XDR ecosystem; TIP integrations.
  • Microsoft cloud automation: Azure Logic Apps, Functions, Automation Accounts, Key Vault, Managed Identities, RBAC.
  • Power Automate (Graph/Defender connectors) and Power BI (product/operations dashboards).
  • Infrastructure-as-Code (ARM/Bicep/Terraform) and Zero Trust patterns.
  • ServiceNow Performance Analytics/ATF; custom spokes; ITSM/IR best practices.
  • Experience with LLM safety and guardrails (prompt security, grounded generation/RAG over runbooks and KBs, data privacy/PII).

Desired certifications, courses and training:

  • SC-100: Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect, AZ-500: Azure Security Engineer, AZ-400: DevOps Engineer Expert.
  • ServiceNow: CSA/CAD, CIS-ITSM, CIS-IntegrationHub.
  • AI/ML: Azure Data/AI certifications (e.g., DP-100) or equivalent.
