Senior Product Manager – Data & Event Ingestion

As a Senior Product Manager for Data & Event Ingestion, you will define and drive the strategy for how Rapid7 collects, normalizes, and enriches security telemetry across cloud, endpoint, identity, and network environments. You’ll lead cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, SaaS-native capabilities that provide customers with complete visibility and detection coverage, enabling them to detect and respond to threats with speed and confidence.

About the Team

This role is part of Rapid7’s Detection & Response product organization, responsible for delivering the core SaaS and managed service capabilities that power our customers’ security operations. The team owns the end-to-end foundation for detection and response, from event source ingestion and detection rule management to alert triage, incident management, and automation, enabling customers and MDR analysts to detect, investigate, and respond to threats with speed and confidence.

About the Role

As Senior Product Manager – Data & Event Ingestion, your primary responsibility will be to lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution to deliver comprehensive visibility across the modern attack surface. You’ll focus on enabling complete detection and response coverage across both first-party and third-party event sources, ensuring our customers have no blind spots in their threat detection capabilities. This role drives the development of scalable, SaaS-native capabilities that collect, normalize, and enrich security telemetry from diverse sources, including cloud, endpoint, identity, and network environments. You’ll operate at the intersection of product vision, customer outcomes, and technical execution, shaping the data foundation that powers Rapid7’s Detection & Response portfolio. Specifically, your focus will be to: 

• Own the product vision and roadmap for event source coverage and telemetry ingestion across the entire attack surface.

• Engage directly with security teams to understand use cases, pain points, and workflows related to visibility and threat coverage.

• Prioritize customer needs across different environments — on-prem, cloud, hybrid — to ensure scalable and reliable event collection.

• Partner with engineering, UX, data science, and go-to-market teams to deliver intuitive, reliable SaaS features that ingest, map, and visualize telemetry.

• Work closely with detection engineering to align event source coverage with detection logic and content.

• Evaluate, prioritize, and define integration strategies with external data providers, cloud platforms, and security tools (e.g., AWS, Okta, M365, CrowdStrike).

• Champion interoperability and extensibility through standards, APIs, and partner collaboration.

• Serve as an internal and external advocate for how complete telemetry coverage directly impacts risk reduction, threat detection, and operational efficiency.

The skills and qualities you’ll bring include:

• You focus on impact, not output, ensuring that every roadmap item directly improves customer visibility, data completeness, or platform scalability.

• You manage multiple data ingestion priorities, balancing high-value integrations, platform performance work, and future scalability, through incremental, iterative progress.

• You create clarity across teams, defining ownership, expectations, and success criteria for every event source integration or enhancement.

• When priorities compete (for example, new log sources vs. ingestion reliability), you make the trade-offs explicit and ensure everyone understands the “why” behind decisions.

• You anticipate challenges before they surface, identifying potential blockers in data ingestion pipelines, evolving compliance needs, or upcoming customer requests.

• Whether writing a product brief, engaging with SEs, or presenting roadmap trade-offs, your communication builds understanding and confidence.

• You collaborate closely with GTM, MDR, and customer success to ensure integrations and telemetry improvements are clearly positioned and supported.

• You navigate the natural tension between customer asks, long-term strategy, and technical debt with transparency and discipline

• Strong understanding of security telemetry across network, endpoint, identity, and cloud domains.

• Experience defining data ingestion pipelines, normalization models, and API-driven integrations.

• Familiarity with cloud ecosystems (AWS, Azure, GCP) and third-party security vendors.
