Job Description
Mission
Provide deep, senior technical strategist expertise within Risk and Security practice, engaged where deep Practice expertise is required — working alongside partner-aligned Partner Technology Architects and Partner Solution Engineers to accelerate partner activation, solution co-creation and commercial success.
Scope
One of the 4 Practices, worldwide within the GEO. Engaged across partner types (Global, Regional Managed of any Major Area including Commercial, and Development partners) where their Practice depth is required.

Key responsibilities
Co-create Practice-native architectures with partners — developing reference architectures, reusable patterns, and integration libraries that partners can extend and monetize.
Build reusable Practice co-innovation assets — solution templates, industry-specific accelerators, demo environments and blueprints.
Provide senior technical expertise within the Practice (e.g., L400 in AI, deep architecture in CRM/G&S/AW) — including net-new patterns and complex multi-product scenarios.
