    • Provide roadmap guidance, operational reviews, and strategic check-ins to reinforce customer value realization.
    • Continue as a trusted advisor to enterprise leadership, ensuring ongoing alignment of their evolving needs with solution capabilities.

    Required Skills & Experience:

    • 5–8 years experience in pre-sales or systems engineering roles in enterprise-scale cybersecurity, networking, or cloud environments.
    • Strong understanding of networking (LAN/WAN, routing, switching, VPNs, TCP/IP) and core security protocols (IPSec, TLS/SSL, PKI, SAML, OAuth, RADIUS, etc.).
    • Ability to articulate and design solutions across: 
      • SecOps modernization (SIEM, SOAR, XDR)
