Our intelligent cloud-based platform seamlessly connects people, systems, and processes to empower organizations to find smarter, faster, and better ways to work. But this is just the beginning of our journey. Join us as we pursue our purpose to make the world work better for everyone.

The Solution Consultant – Identity & Security partners with Sales to help customers address complex identity, access, and security challenges. This role reports to the Solution Consulting Manager within the Identity & Security team and serves as a trusted technical and business advisor, translating requirements into differentiated, outcome-driven solutions that reduce risk, improve governance, and enable secure business operations.

Support executive-level conversations by framing security and identity initiatives in terms of business impact and resilience. Partner with Sales to develop solution narratives that align to customer priorities and buying personas.

· Deal Support & Execution: Support complex sales cycles from early discovery through close, ensuring technical accuracy and customer alignment. Identify and mitigate technical or solution-related risks during the sales process. Collaborate with internal teams to ensure solutions are feasible, scalable, and aligned to product capabilities.

· Continuous Learning & Collaboration: Stay current on identity, security, and regulatory trends to inform customer conversations. Share field insights and best practices with peers and leadership. Partner with Product, Enablement, and Marketing teams to provide feedback from the field. Participate in a sales-driven, high-accountability culture centered on continuous skill development in a rapidly evolving security market.
