• Develop strong relationships with clients and gain the trust of key advisors

• Serve as a trusted advisor, thought leader, and educator for new technologies and their impact on industries, governments, and organizations

• Continue cultivating your curiosity about a wide variety of topics, keeping up with new developments in current areas of interest and adding new ones as they arise

• Visit clients as needed to build relationships and ensure excellence in delivery that exceeds expectations

 

Travel may be required for this role.  The amount of travel will vary from 25% to 75% depending on business need and client requirements.

Here’s What You Need:

• Minimum of 8 years of experience in systems architecture, cloud services, networking, OS fundamentals, and related topics
• Minimum 3 years with fundamental concepts in cryptography and PKI, including the management of systems that provide these functions and how they are implemented

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 10 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 12 years’ work experience)
