Produce clear customer-facing deliverables, including current-state findings, heat maps, recommended next steps, and security roadmaps.
Create and deliver compelling presentations, demos, and proof-of-concepts to showcase solution value to both technical teams and business stakeholders.

Contribute scope, assumptions, and sequencing guidance to proposals and Statements of Work to ensure clear boundaries and implementable designs.
Assist in responding to RFPs, RFIs, security questionnaires, and other technical inquiries to ensure proposed solutions meet customer and compliance needs.
Coordinate technical next steps such as validation plans, pilots, and recommended paths forward to drive the technical win.
Build and maintain working knowledge of PDT’s strategic security OEMs (Palo Alto, Cisco, Zscaler, Cloudflare, Arctic Wolf, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Security) and ramp quickly on additional platforms as needed.
Collaborate with OEM SEs, PDT delivery resources, and broader security specialists to ensure recommended designs are implementable, supportable, and aligned with best practices.
Support periodic enablement for Indiana sellers and architects on the Security Driven approach, key talk tracks, and core security plays; provide consistent regional feedback on customer needs and competitive trends.
