About Systems Engineer, Major Accounts (Bay Area)

  Our Mission

  At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission:

  Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

  Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

  Our Approach to Work

  We lead with flexibility and choice in all of our people programs. We have disrupted the traditional view that all employees have the same needs and wants. We offer personalization and offer our employees the opportunity to choose what works best for them as often as possible - from your wellbeing support to your growth and development, and beyond!

  Your Career

  As a Systems Engineer you provide technical expertise and guidance in your customer’s zero trust journey. You will play a key role in defining technical solutions that secure a customer’s key business imperatives. You evangelize our industry leadership in on-prem, cloud, and security services that establish PANW as your customer’s cybersecurity partner of choice.

  Your Impact

  Curiosity is core to the SE role, and you see complex problems as opportunities to learn and deliver innovative solutions! You define your impact by:

  Meeting and exceeding sales quotas by building and implementing strategic, technical account plans that target cross-platform solutions

  Conducting discovery to understand and articulate the key technical, operational, and commercial imperatives of your prospects and customers

  Planning and building compelling technical and business-focused solutions which drive adoption and growth after the initial sale and across the portfolio

  Demonstrating strong communication skills and the ability to influence through effective presentations and customer-specific demos, technical engagements, and workshops

  Orchestrating supporting resources to ensure a one-team approach that demonstrates a cohesive strategy

  Promoting end-to-end solutions that include PANW and/or partner professional services to ensure customers realize business value sooner

  Understanding the competitive landscape and effectively differentiate our leadership

  Continuously investing in yourself to develop technical and professional skills that drive your ever-increasing contributions to customer success while actively participating within the SE community and at industry events

  Your Experience

  Understanding of data networking

  Delivering cybersecurity solutions that solve technical challenges and influence new business initiatives

  Influencing and gaining buy-in from key stakeholders, either in a customer-facing or internal role - prior experience in a pre-sales role is ideal

  Creating and delivering technical presentations, workshops, or technical validation engagements

  Experience selling, implementing, or managing SaaS/SASE/cloud/managed/on-prem offerings is a plus

  Partnering with Customer Support functions to ensure successful implementation and adoption of sold solutions

  Complex sales involving long sales processes with multiple buying centers and multi-product solutions is preferred

  The Team

  Our SE team members work hand-in-hand with large organizations around the world to keep their digital environments protected. We educate, inspire,and empower our potential clients in their journey to security.

  You are empowered with unmatched systems and tools and a team built on joint success. You won’t find someone at Palo Alto Networks that isn’t committed to your success – with everyone pitching in to assist when it comes to solutions selling, learning, and development. Our Systems Engineering community is driven by the mission to be our customers’ cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting their digital way of life.

  Our Commitment
