Job description
Elastic Security is hiring a VP of Threat Research to own the research agenda for what our platform detects, prevents, and publishes, and to serve as the public voice of that work

This role reports directly to the GM of Elastic Security

It is a senior individual contributor leadership role for someone with deep technical credibility who wants to shape direction through expertise, judgment, and influence

You will decide what the team builds and why: setting priorities across detection engineering, threat research, endpoint protections, and security ML, while partnering closely with delivery leaders who own execution and people management

This is also a highly visible, outbound role

You will represent Elastic with customers, at industry conferences, with press and analysts, and in the broader security research community

We are looking for someone who wants to elevate Elastic’s research brand, guide the technical agenda, and help define how the industry thinks about modern threat detection and prevention

Define the research and detection agenda across SIEM, endpoint, threat research, and security ML

Set the quality bar for what Elastic detects, prevents, and publishes

Decide where the team should invest next across malware detection, ransomware and memory protections, and AI-driven security capabilities

Shape the publishing strategy for Elastic Security Labs, including original research, malware analysis, and conference content

Act as the external face of the organization with customers, analysts, press, and the security community

Partner with engineering, product, and delivery leadership to turn research priorities into shipped protections

Help advance Elastic’s point of view on open and transparent security, including public detections and explainable AI-driven protections

Lead thinking on how AI changes both threat research and attacker behavior, and how Elastic should respond

Benefits

Toast to your health: Fully paid health coverage for you and your family, in many locations.

Craft your calendar: Flexible location and schedule for most roles.

Create space for you: Distributed by design workforce, plus generous number of vacation days each year.

Embrace parenthood: Minimum of 16 weeks of parental leave, plus generous family formation benefits.

Give back your time: 40 hours each year to use toward volunteering with organizations and causes you’re passionate about.

Amplify your impact: Double your charitable giving — we match donations up to $1500 USD (or local currency equivalent).

Deep credibility in threat research, detection engineering, endpoint security, or security ML

The ability to operate as a senior IC leader who sets direction through technical depth and strong judgment

Experience setting strategy across technical security domains and translating that into clear priorities

A thoughtful point of view on AI in security, including both its promise and its risks

A clear belief in open, transparent security and the value of publishing detections and research openly

Strong public communication skills and enthusiasm for customer engagement, speaking, and industry visibility

Willingness to travel regularly for customer meetings, conferences, and external engagements

Strong judgment and the ability to lead through influence, expertise, and vision

Hands-on technical experience doing the work yourself, not only leading teams

Experience leading or contributing to publicly recognized threat research or detection content

Experience spanning both endpoint protections and SIEM detections

Familiarity with open detection ecosystems, GitHub-based research workflows, or community-driven security programs

Existing presence in the security community through talks, publications, or media engagement

Background working with malware models, behavioral detections, or small language models in security use cases
