Principal, Cortex Cloud Strategy And Gtm Programs
At Palo Alto Networks everything starts and ends with our mission: Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life. Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we're looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are. We take our mission of protecting the digital way of life seriously. We are relentless in protecting our customers and we believe that the unique ideas of every member of our team contributes to our collective success. Our values were crowdsourced by employees and are brought to life through each of us everyday - from disruptive innovation and collaboration, to execution. From showing up for each other with integrity to creating an environment where we all feel included. As a member of our team, you will be shaping the future of cybersecurity. We work fast, value ongoing learning, and we respect each employee as a unique individual. Knowing we all have different needs, our development and personal wellbeing programs are designed to give you choice in how you are supported. You will lead the GTM programs for Cortex Cloud, directly and visibly contributing to execution of key go-to-market initiatives for our cloud security business. You will report to the Cortex Cloud GTM leader, and will work in close partnership with sales leaders, product leaders and other senior leaders in the organization to execute on GTM programs and solve GTM challenges that are top-of-mind for our executive team. We are looking for a seasoned GTM leader who can help us shape our GTM strategy, and design & execute GTM programs to achieve specific business objectives. This is an influential role with broad scope and responsibility, requiring a talented leader who likes to "roll their sleeves up," has a transformative mindset and demonstrates reliable judgment. Design and execute key GTM programs for Cortex Cloud and drive projects and efforts to unlock cloud security business growth acceleration. Lead implementation and execution of needle-moving GTM programs focused on achieving key business objectives. Work collaboratively across a cross-functional set of stakeholders (Sales Ops, Finance, Product, Marketing, HR) to gather the right information, pressure test your hypothesis, co-create deliverables, accelerate execution and unlock value. Coach and provide guidance to the younger colleagues on the team. Drive change and be willing to wear multiple hats (strategy development, GTM program design, project management and execution) to do what it takes to move from ideation to execution. Act as an advisor and sounding board for the GM of Cortex Cloud, Cortex Cloud sales leaders and other Cortex Cloud senior leaders. Minimum of 5+ years of post-MBA experience in management consulting or top-tier tech strategy or "bizops" roles (Principal / AP level preferred); Overall years of experience 12+ years. We are open to hiring a level lower (Strategy Lead) based on a candidate's experience (minimum 3+ years of post MBA and / or 8+ years overall experience) and overall interview performance. Preferred academic credentials include an MBA or similar qualifications. Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to engage with senior audiences and bridge business and technical discussions. Proven relationship-building and influential leadership skills. Experience in project management and overseeing large-scale transformations. A proactive self-starter who excels in fast-paced, high-growth environments. Great teammate, willing to passionately roll up their sleeves and work cross-functionally to get things done. GTM strategy and/or GTM programs experience is a "must have." Expertise in the Enterprise technology industry, especially in SaaS, is a must - knowledge of cybersecurity industry is a plus, but not required.
