Our team seeks a partner-focused, Security Solutions Engineer who collaborates with our Partner Business Development Specialists to build relationships and empower our partners to grow their business and lead with Cisco in their cybersecurity solution engagements with their customers. To accomplish this, you will need to enable your partners' sellers and engineers with knowledge of the solutions, the value they bring, and the successes they can achieve together and improve their chances for success by providing technical expertise and opportunity support with timely demos, consultations, and proof of value exercises. You get to be the subject matter authority who helps us all win, together.

If this sounds exciting, we encourage you to apply!

Background for Success

We seek business, sales, and technical acuity which all boils down to someone with a passion for spreading their excitement about technology and making it approachable for everyone, from the front line of Security Operations, to the C-level, or even to their grandparents. As part of your DNA, you are a bold, self-starter who can build executive relationships, develop and execute sales strategies and tactics that improve Cisco's opportunity within the partner and customer environments. Some other tools of the trade include:

  • Communicating, story telling, and translating sometimes sophisticated technology in a way that encourages and empowers the partner sellers, technologists, and customer
  • Ability to work autonomously in support of the team vision and goals
  • Identify the technical leaders and influencers at a partner and build alignment to and understanding of their business
  • Detailed understanding of cyber security and networking technologies, along with concepts, standards, methods, operations, and uses
  • Desire to win and be a part of a successful sales team.

Proven experience in technical presales consultation, particularly with a focus on working with value added partners, and strong firewall knowledge will help set you apart from the rest. For example, having a BS/BA (EE/CS) or equivalent along with 3 - 5+ years in a technical, customer facing role (eg solutions engineer / consultant, customer success engineer, etc) solid understanding of cybersecurity solutions, terminology, markets, and customer needs.

But wait! Even if you aren't sure if you're a fit, we encourage you to apply any way. We will often hire based on potential and fit of different perspectives.

Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. or Canada hiring location. The recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process.

Once performance exceeds 100% quota attainment, incentive rates may increase up to five times the standard rate with no cap on incentive compensation. For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
