Cyber Detection Warfare Senior Manager

About the role

The Product team is defining a new product-led growth business within Booz Allen where you will have the opportunity to design, build, and deliver products to mission and commercial customers at scale. You will experience the energy of a start-up, with the resources, mentorship, and stability of an established tech company while being able to look across industry and capability areas to craft new outcomes leveraging the deep catalog of existing technology and customer solutions.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end product vision, strategy, and roadmap for a next-generation detection engineering platform that explicitly leverages AI to move beyond the current human-driven model.
• Leverage mastery of frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, to understand the why and how behind lateral movement, exfiltration, and persistence.
• Identify and validate specific use cases where AI can automate time-consuming outcomes and building hooks for automated response.
• Create interfaces that prioritize the most critical threats rather than burying analysts in more unactionable "noise" like the current SIEM and SOAR offerings.
• Design workflows that treat detections like software such as Detections as Code (DaC), using Version Control, CI/CD pipelines for testing, and automated deployment.
• Conduct deep market research on the emerging threat detection landscape, understanding competitor offerings, auditor expectations, and customer pain points to identify defensible product advantages.
• Translate complex requirements and user needs into detailed, prioritized product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria for an engineering and design team that unfold the process tree, network connections, and user behavior of an attack rather than just a raw log line.
• Serve as the primary product leader, partnering with technical product leadership to ensure alignment and collaboration across engineering, data science or AI, UX design, legal and compliance, and go-to-market teams.
• Strategize and partner to define the data ingestion, labeling, security, and governance strategy necessary to train, validate, and securely operate the underlying AI or ML models, while adhering to data privacy and compliance standards.
• Spend significant time engaging with target customers such as CISOs, Red Teams, IT administrators, and external security professionals to gather feedback, validate prototypes, and ensure the product exceeds expectations.
• Own, prioritize, and manage the product backlog, including clearly communicating high-level strategy with partners so it can be translated into detailed, actionable user stories, and epics for engineering teams.
• Work closely with engineering and technical product leads to define technical requirements, system design, and overall architecture to ensure the platform is robust, secure, and scalable.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in technology product management
• Experience analyzing and solving problems
• Ability to manage the entire product lifecycle from ideation to launch
• Ability to thrive in fast-moving start-up environments and effectively lead change
• Ability to travel up to 20% of the time

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in CS, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, Applied Mathematics, or Business

Skills

• Experience with SaaS platforms and products involving multi-tenancy, subscriptions, billing, and compliance requirements
• Experience with detection engineering, including authoring and tuning detections across SIEM and EDR platforms, detection-as-code, or CI/CD workflows
• Experience with threat hunting using telemetry, analytics, and threat intelligence to identify adversary activity
• Experience with incident response, including alert triage, investigation, containment, and remediation
• Experience leading a product team toward a shared goal, inspiring confidence, and driving consensus across the organization
• Experience breaking down complex and ambiguous problems into smaller, manageable pieces and developing innovative solutions
• Knowledge of the MITRE ATT&CK framework for detection mapping and adversary analysis
• Knowledge of cybersecurity operations, detection, cyberthreat intelligence, AI, distributed systems, and cloud-based infrastructure
