Insight is seeking a senior-level networking and network security expert to help shape solution strategy, go-to-market initiatives, and partner engagement across enterprise networking and data center technologies. This is a highly collaborative, strategic role focused on market trends, solution development, sales enablement, and executive-level consulting rather than hands-on implementation.

Develop solutions and go-to-market initiatives across technologies including enterprise networking, SD-WAN, SASE, Zero Trust, network security, data center networking, observability, and AI-ready infrastructure.

Create sales enablement materials, solution documentation, presentations, and training content.

Partner closely with sales, architects, delivery teams, marketing, and technology partners to build and promote differentiated solutions.

Support strategic customer opportunities, executive discussions, RFPs, and solution positioning.

Build strong relationships with key networking and security partners such as Cisco, Aruba, Juniper, Palo Alto, and Fortinet.

Leverage AI tools to enhance research, content development, and solution strategy.

Monitor market trends, field adoption, and partner activity to continuously refine solution offerings.

What We're Looking For

8+ years of experience in networking, network security, infrastructure architecture, consulting, technical sales, solution strategy, portfolio management, or related areas.

Strong understanding of enterprise networking technologies including wireless, switching, routing, SD-WAN, SASE, Zero Trust, firewalls, cloud connectivity, and data center networking.

Experience translating market and customer insights into solution strategy and go-to-market plans.

Ability to influence and collaborate across sales, engineering, delivery, leadership, and partner teams.

Strong presentation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Experience in creating technical and sales-focused content and enablement materials.

Comfortable using AI tools to improve productivity and solution development.

Preferred Experience

Background as a Principal Architect, Solution Architect, Consulting Architect, Product/Portfolio Manager, or Technology Strategist.

Experience with Cisco, Aruba, Juniper, Palo Alto, Fortinet, or similar providers.

Knowledge of data center networking, observability, AIOps, AI-ready infrastructure, and modernization initiatives.

Relevant certifications such as CCNP, CCIE, JNCIP, PCNSE, Fortinet, or equivalent.

This is an excellent opportunity for a strategic networking leader who enjoys influencing technology direction, collaborating across teams, and helping drive innovative solutions in a fast-paced enterprise environment.
