You'll work at the intersection of Sales, Product, and Engineering — helping the largest and most strategic prospects understand how Neo Security fits into their security architecture, shaping deals at the executive and technical level, and bringing customer and market signal back into product strategy. You'll also be a visible external face of the company at conferences, in analyst conversations, and in the media.

This is a senior, highly visible role for an experienced security technologist and executive communicator who can go deep with security architects and engineers, credibly advise CISOs and boards, and represent Neo Security's technical vision publicly.

Represent Neo Security's technical vision and roadmap publicly at industry conferences, on webinars and podcasts, and in analyst and press conversations.

Act as a strategic feedback loop between the field and Product/Engineering, bringing customer and market signal into roadmap and prioritization discussions.

Partner with Product Marketing on technical narrative, competitive positioning, and thought leadership content (blog posts, whitepapers, webinars).

Support Solutions Engineering and Sales Engineering leadership by acting as an escalation point on the most complex technical and architectural conversations.

Build relationships with industry analysts (Gartner, Forrester) and brief them on Neo Security's technical direction and differentiation.

Mentor and help develop the broader technical pre-sales and solutions engineering organization.

Travel across the Americas region to be on-site with strategic customers, at conferences, and at company events as needed.

Strong executive presence and public speaking skills, with experience presenting at industry conferences, webinars, or similar forums.

Experience partnering closely with Sales leadership to influence and close large, complex enterprise deals.

Excellent written communication skills, with experience contributing to technical content such as blog posts, whitepapers, or technical documentation.

Comfortable operating as both a strategic advisor and a hands-on technical resource depending on the situation.

Based in the United States, with the ability to travel across the Americas region up to 40-50%.
