  Develop and validate comprehensive, multi-architecture solutions spanning networking, security, collaboration, cloud, and AI infrastructure. You will build the resilient and observable platforms that form the bedrock of our customers' digital and AI initiatives.
• Be the Trusted Advisor:
  Build and maintain deep, positive relationships with technical and executive team members, becoming their go-to expert for navigating the complexities of modern IT and the opportunities of AI.
• Demonstrate the Art of the Possible:
  Lead compelling, customized demonstrations and proofs-of-value that bring Cisco's solutions to life, showcasing how we solve our customers' most critical problems.
• Mentor and Elevate:
  Act as a mentor and technical leader for the broader SE community, sharing your expertise, encouraging a culture of excellence, and helping to develop the next generation of talent.
• Shape Our Future:
  Be the link between the customer and Cisco’s engineering and product teams. You will provide critical feedback that directly influences the future of our products and solutions.

  Enterprise Networking, Data Center, Security, Collaboration.
• Demonstrable experience building and maintaining positive relationships with customers and partners.
• 5+ years of communication and presentation skills with internal partners or external customers.

• A deep, cross‑architectural understanding of how different technology domains intersect to create business solutions (e.g., how security underpins a cloud strategy, or how networking enables AI workloads).
• Proven experience leading technical sales cycles for large, sophisticated enterprise accounts.
• Outstanding ability to articulate a technical vision and translate it into tangible business outcomes for executive‑level audiences.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and their relationship to on‑premise and hybrid infrastructure.
