As a Palo Alto/Sales Solution Specialist, you will lead responses and proposals against client RFXs as a domain expert, collaborating closely with various teams such as solution design, program management, and transformation consulting groups. You will also work with various sales groups to find opportunities for proactive pursuits with prospective and existing clients.

In this role, you will serve as the "go-to" solution expert on SOC, SASE, EDR & Cloud Security for customers and the account sales teams working with those customers.

Deep knowledge of domains such as SOC (Security Operations center), network security, IT security and zero trust (while not a technical solution engineering role, a background in and/or understanding of the technologies underlying SOC, SASE, End point detection & response, as well as Cloud Security is important).
The ability to communicate effectively with senior stakeholders and influence their decisions.
The ability to work with a diverse and cross-functional team and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
Engaging with client leaders, understanding their requirements, addressing them in the proposal with a focus on Zero Trust approach, presenting the proposals, taking client feedback and improving proposals.

Participating / leading Analyst RFIs to ensure Infosys is placed in the Leaders quadrant and improves its position year on year.
Taking part in or leading cross-functional initiatives across the organization to support the unit's goals.

The ability to identify win themes and link them to the proposed solution.
Knowledge of key market players/competitors in the cybersecurity and Zero Trust solution spaces.
