  • Act as a trusted advisor, effectively communicating technical solutions to both technical and executive stakeholders to foster trust and credibility.

  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams-including Account, Sales, and Marketing-to drive a seamless and positive customer experience while proactively addressing critical challenges.

  • Drive continuous customer engagement through Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) and Account Case Reviews, providing tailored recommendations, release planning, and proactive risk mitigation strategies to enhance security posture.

  • Serve as a subject matter expert on Palo Alto Networks' core technologies, identifying product defects through lab replication, network simulation, and performance testing.

  • Work with Engineering and QA teams to file bug reports, develop test plans, and improve software and hardware quality with each release cycle.

  • Facilitate hiring and onboarding by conducting technical screenings, training new hires on technical and soft skills, and ensuring readiness through process and tools training.

  • Contribute to the organization's knowledge base by authoring Technical Support Bulletins, training materials, and troubleshooting guides to enhance internal and customer-facing resources.
