What You'll Do
• Lead technical discovery sessions to understand customer security environments, gaps, and requirements.
• Serve as the trusted technical advisor throughout the sales cycle, addressing architecture, scoping, and security operations questions.
• Document solution proposals that map services (MDR, SOC, SIEM, EDR, Advisory Services, and more) to meet customer security posture needs.
• Support channel ecosystem through joint sales calls, technical workshops, and co-selling motions.
• Train partner sales technical teams on solution positioning and differentiation.
• Build and maintain technical enablement assets, including battle cards, and scripts for the partner ecosystem.
• Act as the technical liaison between partners and internal advisory and operations teams.
• Partner closely with account executives and channel managers to advance opportunities and shape deal strategy.
• Support smooth handoff from pre-sales to onboarding and service delivery.
• Respond to RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires with accurate, persuasive technical content.
What You Bring
• 3+ years in a sales engineering, solutions architect, or pre-sales role within an MSSP, MDR provider, or cybersecurity vendor.
• Strong understanding of security operations, including SOC workflows, threat detection and response, SIEM, EDR/XDR, and managed security services delivery models.
• Demonstrated experience supporting both direct sales and channel/partner sales motions.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical practitioners and business executives.
• Experience responding to RFPs and leading proof-of-concept engagements.
• Familiarity with the channel ecosystem (VARs, distributors, MDF, co-sell programs) strongly preferred.
• Relevant certifications a plus (e.g., Security+, CISSP, or vendor-specific certifications such as SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or Microsoft Security).
