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.

Who We Are

We believe collaboration thrives in person. That's why most of our teams work from the office full time, with flexibility when it's needed. This model supports real-time problem-solving, stronger relationships, and the kind of precision that drives great outcomes.

Your Career

As  Domain Consultant  Manager, you are the technical leader for your Domain Consultant team. Your team provides technical expertise and guidance in customers' security operations transformation journey. You will work closely with the Systems Engineering Managers and their District Sales Manager counterparts to build relationships with your customers with the goal of helping them detect and prevent advanced cyberattacks and breaches. You and your team will play a key role in defining technical solutions that secure a customer's key business imperatives and will evangelize our industry leadership in on-prem, cloud, and security services that establish Palo Alto Networks as a customer's cybersecurity partner of choice.

Additionally, you will provide feedback to the product management team on new feature requests and product improvements based on what you learn from your customer base.
