The RoleAs a Cybersecurity Consultant with Presidio, you are the client's trusted security advisor. You turn their business goals into practical security architectures, then help them select, design, and implement the solutions that protect their data. You pair with a Principal Architect in your domain and work across vendors, not for one. You stay with the opportunity from the first conversation through proposal and close, and you hand it to our delivery team with a design that holds up.
Travel Requirements:This is a remote role for candidates residing in the following areas: Dallas, TX; Oklahoma; New Jersey/Pennsylvania/New York Tri-State Area or Northeast Region (New England area).
Associated travel will be 25-35% based on client needs.
Responsibilities Include:- Learn the client's business first: goals, risk tolerance, and existing infrastructure. Run workshops, assess current security posture, and identify gaps.
- Design solutions across network security (including SSE and zero trust), endpoint protection, data loss prevention, cloud security, identity, and incident response.
- Advise clients on securing their AI deployments and defending against AI-driven attacks.
- Run OEM-backed campaigns with a Principal Architect and the account team, from the first workshop through proposal and close.
- Work with account managers to qualify opportunities, scope the work, and build the business case.
- Write proposals and RFP responses that are specific to the client's environment.
- Based on client's needs, position Presidio's Cybersecurty Services including Presidio's MDR Services.
- Keep current on emerging threats, technologies, and best practices, and bring them into client conversations.

- Palo Alto Networks
- CrowdStrike
- Cloudflare
- Zscaler
- Cisco
Client-Focused Recommendations:You'll recommend solutions that best fit each client's needs, with support from partner teams.
What Helps You Succeed:- You like solving hard security problems and you want to find the best answer, not the easiest one.
- You can present technical material to engineers and to executives, and build trust with both.
- You share what you know and work well with a team.
- You are comfortable traveling to clients 25-35% of the time.
Why Presidio Cyber:- A path from CSC to Principal Architect, with a specialty: zero trust, application security, SecOps and XDR, cloud security, or AI security.
- You work next to Principal Architects, Field CISOs, and peers, not behind them.
- Real campaigns with OEM partners and real pipeline behind them.
- Remote work with a national team.
Required Skills and Professional Experience:- Bachelor's degree or equivalent work or military experience
- 7-9 years' experience in a cybersecurity role designing and implementing complex security solutions
