CNAPP and CSPM solutions, with strong hands-on experience in Wiz.\nDesign cloud security posture, workload protection, vulnerability management, attack-path analysis, and cloud risk management solutions.\nPosition CNAPP capabilities as part of a broader cloud security operating model rather than as a standalone technology deployment.\nIntegrate CNAPP capabilities into security operations, governance, compliance, and remediation workflows.\nSecurity Operations & Transformation\nSupport customers in modernizing traditional security operations toward cloud-native and AI-enabled security operations.\nDesign architectures for SIEM/SOAR modernization, security data onboarding, threat detection, incident response, automation, and security analytics.\nUnderstand existing customer security ecosystems and define integration approaches across cloud platforms, security tools, identity systems, network infrastructure, and enterprise applications.\nIdentify opportunities to simplify fragmented security architectures and improve security effectiveness through platform consolidation and automation.\nCompliance & Regulatory Architecture\nTranslate regulatory and compliance

designs.\nPre-Sales, SOW & Commercial Solutioning\nOwn the technical solutioning lifecycle from initial discovery through proposal, technical closure, and handover to delivery.\nDevelop end-to-end Statements of Work (SOWs), including:\nScope\nTechnical solution and architecture\nDeliverables\nImplementation approach\nEffort estimation\nAssumptions and dependencies\nExclusions\nAcceptance criteria\nBuild commercial solutions using standard pricing and estimation frameworks while balancing customer competitiveness, delivery feasibility, risk, and target margins.\nContribute to RFP/RFI responses, proposals, presentations, solution workshops, and executive-level customer discussions.\nPresent and defend proposed architectures with customer CISOs, security leaders, cloud teams, enterprise architects, compliance stakeholders, and technical teams.\nClearly articulate solution value, differentiation, risks, trade-offs, and expected security outcomes.\nDelivery Readiness & Governance\nValidate solution feasibility with delivery and engineering teams before customer commitment.\nEnsure that proposed scope, architecture, effort, timelines, and assumptions are aligned with delivery capabilities.\nLead structured sales-to-delivery handovers and remain engaged during critical transition stages.\nMinimize delivery rework and commercial leakage by ensuring that customer commitments are clearly documented and technically validated.\nPractice Development\nBuild reusable security solution architectures, reference designs, SOW templates, pricing models, discovery frameworks, and accelerators.\nDevelop repeatable solution patterns for common industry and regulatory scenarios.\nContribute to the evolution of the CSRE security services portfolio and go-to-market
