Описание

This role is at the forefront of moving Microsoft Defender from responding to attacks to preventing them from ever succeeding. You will own the proactive protection charter – Predictive Shielding, Vulnerability Shielding, and identity takeover protection – deciding what Defender pre-emptively shields, on what evidence, and at what customer risk tolerance.

Responsibilities

Own the vision, roadmap, and priorities for proactive shielding — predictive shielding, vulnerability shielding, and identity takeover protection — from concept through GA.
Define the protection policy model: what gets shielded automatically, what requires customer opt-in, and how we price aggressive protection against operational disruption in production estates.
Drive feature specifications and work closely with engineering and security research teams to deliver against the roadmap you set.
Lead the steering forum and cross-team working groups for shielding, aligning research, engineering, and design across globally distributed teams.
Run design-partner and customer programs — validate scenarios with enterprise design partners, convert feedback into roadmap decisions, and close the loop on regressions.
Own the evidence bar for autonomous protection: simulation and validation tooling, false-positive/blast-radius measurement, and the criteria that gate private preview → public preview → GA. Represent the area externally — customer-facing documentation, blogs, conference sessions, and community engagement.
Capture competitive and market trend data to inform product direction; become the subject matter expert in the domain.

Requirements

At least 7+ years of experience as a Product Manager, working closely with Engineering and cross-functional teams to deliver enterprise products.
Experience owning and shipping a configuration, policy, or admin-facing surface in an enterprise product.
Strong execution and technical problem-solving skills, with the ability to independently drive issues to resolution and understand/debug customer-reported behavior.
Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements.

Nice to have

Familiarity with SOC workflows, including incidents, cases, investigation, and response, and an understanding of what analysts need to trust automated actions.
Experience in the cybersecurity domain, particularly endpoint or identity security.
Experience working directly with enterprise customers, design partners, or support escalations.
Strong written and verbal communication and presentation skills, including the ability to explain complex automated behavior clearly to customers.
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience.
Experience collaborating with global, cross-functional stakeholders.
