Senior Solutions Architect

Senior Solutions Architect - Saudi Arabia

We’re looking for an experienced cybersecurity professional with a number of years experience across the entire customer lifecycle - from pre-sales to post-sales and professional services - to join our growing Customer Success team as a Senior Solutions Architect based in Saudi Arabia, covering the METNA region.

In this role, you will be the consistent value champion for Immersive from pre-sale to list sale. You will partner with our Enterprise Sales team as you conduct POVs with new & existing customers to secure the technical win, build relationships with key customers to drive business outcomes. You will be the key contact within our strategic accounts, driving platform adoption to the latest features to maximize the value of the Immersive One Platform, and executing a programmatic approach to Cyber Workforce Resilience.

Unlike traditional consultancy, which would be transactional, such as working on a single project to completion and then leaving, in this role you are embedded and dedicated to the customer for the duration of the contract. This is a long-term and continuous engagement to provide industry and operational experience to help simplify the drive for cyber resilience by aligning and complementing an organisation's cyber strategy and vision. The customer is your number one priority, and your focus is to ensure success every step of the way to ensure they are Cyber Resilient and become more mature in this space. You need to adapt to the situations you encounter and be that trusted partner to help by utilising the Immersive One platform to its maximum. Their success is your success. It feels personal.

You will be a trusted, long-term embedded consultant with knowledge in all areas of cyber. The customer will look to you for the answers, and you must be agile with on-the-spot thinking. You will interact with all customer areas, from the C-Suite to the teams and individuals that comprise the customer's organisation. You will help everyone.
