Job Summary

As a Domain Consultant Manager for Idira, you are the technical leader for your Domain Consultant team. You will lead a team of high-caliber experts who provide the deep technical expertise required to transform our customers' identity security posture.

You will work closely with the Solutions Consulting Managers and their District Sales Manager counterparts to build relationships with your customers with the goal of helping them secure and govern all identity types-including human, machine, and AI agents-preventing identity-based attacks and credential misuse. You and your team will play a key role in defining technical solutions that secure a customer's key business imperatives and will evangelize our industry leadership in Identity Security (Idira) alongside core security services that establish Palo Alto Networks as a customer's cybersecurity partner of choice.

We are looking for a leader to develop our Domain Consultant team, providing training and technical support as a product expert. Additionally, you will provide feedback to the product management team on new feature requests and product improvements based on what you learn from your customer base. Your team, in partnership with the Solutions Consulting team, will displace competitor technologies and build market share within your targeted list of accounts, and most importantly, help your client sleep at night as they use our products to build secure digital transactions.
