Job Description

Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables everyone to find the answers they need in real time, using all their data, at scale — unleashing the potential of businesses and people. The Elastic Search AI Platform, used by more than 50% of the Fortune 500, brings together the precision of search and the intelligence of AI to enable everyone to accelerate the results that matter. By taking advantage of all structured and unstructured data — securing and protecting private information more effectively — Elastic’s complete, cloud-based solutions for search, security, and observability help organizations deliver on the promise of AI.

What is The Role

Every outcome on the Elastic platform starts with data getting in. Streams, Elastic’s telemetry pipeline, is the shared ingest layer for Observability, Security, and Search. It collects data from any source, processes and routes it, and stores it in Elasticsearch or the customer’s own object storage, all built on open standards like OpenTelemetry and Prometheus. As Director of Product Management, you will own Streams end to end and lead the PM team behind it. Your job is to make Elastic the easiest platform to bring data to, for every solution and every customer.

What You Will Be Doing

Own the strategy and roadmap for data collection, ingestion, processing and routing, and the integrations framework.
Define and track KPIs focused on product and feature adoption
Partner with Observability, Security, and Search product leaders to provide a shared service everyone can leverage
Make getting data ingestion self-service, with time-to-first-data measured in minutes.
Lead a team of distributed product managers and enable them to deliver measurable outcomes.
Drive roadmap priorities by working with customers, internal teams, and the community
Work with engineers and designers to scope and define compelling features
Enable sales, marketing, and partners with clear messaging and positioning

What You Bring

10+ years in product management, including 4+ years leading PM teams in data infrastructure, observability, or data pipelines.
Deep technical fluency in telemetry ingest: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, log processing, routing, and agent management.
Experience shipping SaaS products with usage-based pricing, and building platform capabilities shared by several product lines.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Familiarity with the Elastic Stack is a plus
