Job Description

Your Career
As a Solutions Consultant, you provide technical expertise and guidance in your customer’s zero trust journey.

You evangelize our industry leadership in on-prem, cloud, and security services that establish PANW as your customer’s cybersecurity partner of choice.

Curiosity is core to the SC role, and you see complex problems as opportunities to learn and deliver innovative solutions! You define your impact by:

  • Meeting and exceeding sales quotas by building and implementing strategic, technical account plans that target cross-platform solutions
  • Conducting discovery to understand and articulate the key technical, operational, and commercial imperatives of your prospects and customers
  • Planning and building compelling technical and business-focused solutions which drive adoption and growth after the initial sale and across the portfolio
  • Demonstrating strong communication skills and the ability to influence through effective presentations and customer-specific demos, technical engagements, and workshops
  • Orchestrating supporting resources to ensure a one-team approach that demonstrates a cohesive strategy
  • Promoting end-to-end solutions that include PANW and/or partner professional services to ensure customers realize business value sooner
  • Understanding the competitive landscape and effectively differentiate our leadership
  • Continuously investing in yourself to develop technical and professional skills that drive your ever-increasing contributions to customer success while actively participating within the SC community and at industry events

Qualifications

Your Experience

  • Understanding of data networking
  • Delivering cybersecurity solutions that solve technical challenges and influence new business initiatives
  • Influencing and gaining buy-in from key stakeholders, either in a customer-facing or internal role - prior experience in a pre-sales role is ideal
  • Creating and delivering technical presentations, workshops, or technical validation engagements
  • Experience selling, implementing, or managing SaaS/SASE/cloud/managed/on-prem offerings is a plus
  • Partnering with Customer Support functions to ensure successful implementation and adoption of sold solutions
