Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

Your Career

To succeed in this role, you will need a rare blend of technical depth, customer empathy, and a bias for execution, paired with a strong analytical mindset and a passion for AI-driven transformation. You will help reimagine how enterprise customers deploy our SASE solutions, using data, telemetry, machine learning and generative AI to simplify and accelerate every step of the journey.

You will focus on:

• Understanding Customer Deployment Contexts: Build a detailed understanding of customer deployment architectures, operational environments, and blockers. Use this insight to inform product decisions, shape requirements, and tailor deployment experiences to meet real-world needs.
• Accelerating Value Realization: Lead initiatives that simplify and speed up the deployment of key SASE components. Drive improvements that allow customers to extract security and performance value faster, with less manual effort and fewer handoffs.
• Applying AI from Design to Deployment: Partner with our AI/ML teams to infuse intelligence into the deployment journey (e.g., using telemetry to recommend optimal configurations, guiding users through deployment workflows, and automating diagnostics and rollout steps using LLM-based agents)
• Resolving Deployment Friction Across Teams: Work cross-functionally to identify and unblock systemic deployment challenges, whether in onboarding, documentation, tooling, or integration. Proactively align teams across product, support, services, and engineering to drive resolution and ensure seamless adoption.

You will be a visible face of the deployment experience, interfacing directly with customers, partners, and internal teams. You will be expected to deeply understand user pain points, synthesize feedback into action, and collaborate closely with engineering to ship impactful features. A strong track record of delivering AI-enhanced or data-driven product capabilities, especially in enterprise or cloud environments, will be key.
