• Maintain deep expertise across Fortinet's portfolio, cybersecurity trends, emerging threats, and technologies relevant to the FSI sector.
• Support RFI/RFP responses and maintain accurate technical documentation within Salesforce.
• Act as a trusted technical advisor and mentor to colleagues and partners.

You may be a great fit if you have:

• Experience in a pre-sales engineering, technical consulting, or customer-facing technical role.
• Experience working with Financial Services or Insurance customers, or other highly regulated enterprise environments.
• Strong knowledge of cybersecurity technologies including Network Security, SASE, SD-WAN, Zero Trust, SOC technologies, Cloud Security, and Secure Access.
• Experience designing solutions for complex enterprise environments with multiple stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage both technical teams and senior business stakeholders.
