  • Partner with Sales leadership to shape account strategy for top accounts, engaging directly in executive conversations and technical evaluations.
  • Represent Neo Security's technical vision and roadmap publicly at industry conferences, on webinars and podcasts, and in analyst and press conversations.
  • Act as a strategic feedback loop between the field and Product/Engineering, bringing customer and market signal into roadmap and prioritization discussions.
  • Partner with Product Marketing on technical narrative, competitive positioning, and thought leadership content (blog posts, whitepapers, webinars).
  • Support Solutions Engineering and Sales Engineering leadership by acting as an escalation point on the most complex technical and architectural conversations.
  • Build relationships with industry analysts (Gartner, Forrester) and brief them on Neo Security's technical direction and differentiation.
  • Mentor and help develop the broader technical pre-sales and solutions engineering organization.
  • Travel across the Americas region to be on-site with strategic customers, at conferences, and at company events as needed.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in cybersecurity, including deep hands-on technical expertise in security architecture, engineering, or a closely related domain.
  • 5+ years in a customer-facing technical leadership role such as Field CTO, VP of Solutions Engineering, Principal Solutions Architect, or similar.
  • Proven ability to build credibility and trust with CISOs, security architects, and other senior technical stakeholders.
  • Strong executive presence and public speaking skills, with experience presenting at industry conferences, webinars, or similar forums.
  • Experience partnering closely with Sales leadership to influence and close large, complex enterprise deals.
  • Excellent written communication skills, with experience contributing to technical content such as blog posts, whitepapers, or technical documentation.

  • Experience advising on or working within regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, government) common among enterprise security buyers.
