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’ network security and zero trust journey. You will work closely with the Solutions Consultant Managers and their District Sales Manager counterparts to build relationships with your customers and help them detect and prevent advanced cyberattacks and breaches.
