- Advise partners on service architecture, integrations, automation, operational readiness, and repeatable service delivery.

AI Security Domain Leadership

- Act as a global subject matter expert for Sophos AI security solutions, including AI Defense and future AI offerings.
- Lead demonstrations, workshops, and proofs of value that help customers and partners evaluate AI security risks and solutions.
- Build hands-on AI security demos, lab environments, attack simulations, and repeatable technical evaluation methods.
- Share field and market insights with Product, Engineering, Product Marketing, and go-to-market teams.

Global Leadership and Field Impact

- Create reusable technical assets, enablement materials, service blueprints, and field-ready best practices.
- Mentor Sales Engineers, partner engineers, and other technical stakeholders to strengthen global field capability.
- Represent Sophos in customer briefings, partner events, webinars, technical communities, and industry forums.
- Build trusted-advisor relationships with partners, customers, security leaders, and technical decision-makers.

## What You Will Bring

- 8+ years of experience in Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, Security Architecture, security consulting, MSSP engineering, or a similar customer-facing cybersecurity role.
- Experience supporting MSSP sales, partner engagements, service architecture, or managed security service development.
- Strong knowledge of modern security operations, including MDR, XDR, SIEM, SOAR, endpoint security, cloud security, threat detection, incident response, and security integrations.
- Deep understanding of MSSP business and technical models, including the requirements for delivering repeatable services to multiple customers.
- Strong understanding of artificial intelligence, generative AI systems, AI application architectures, and the security risks associated with adopting and operating AI technologies.
- Hands-on experience deploying, configuring, integrating, operating, and troubleshooting cybersecurity products and tools.
- Experience building labs, demonstrations, workshops, proofs of value, and technical validation environments.
- Ability to work with APIs, automation, cloud platforms, modern application architectures, Linux and Windows environments, networking, identity systems, and security telemetry.
- Exceptional technical discovery, consultative selling, presentation, storytelling, demonstration, and written communication skills.
- Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional technical engagements with partners, customers, and internal teams across multiple regions.
- Willingness and ability to travel up to 50% across North America and internationally.

## Nice to Have

- Experience speaking at industry events, publishing technical content, or representing an organization as a cybersecurity subject matter expert.
- Relevant cybersecurity, cloud, architecture, or AI certifications.
- Experience with Sophos technologies.
