Job Details
To design, build, and manage the operational engine and intellectual property that enables the Principal Architects in our Global Security Architecture Practice (GSAP). This role is responsible for transforming the team's collective expertise into a scalable asset that drives consistency, efficiency, and quality in all client engagements.
We’re looking for a Program Manager to drive operational excellence, process innovation, and strategic program management for the Global Security Architecture Practice. You will design, build, and manage the business processes that enable our Principal Architects to scale. This role is responsible for transforming the Palo Alto Networks’ collective security and innovation expertise into AI-driven consulting methodologies and assets that drive consistency, efficiency, and quality in all of GSAP’s client engagements.
You’ll partner closely with the Principal Architects and their leadership, as well as cross-functional teams including Sales and Technical Solutions, Product Management, Enterprise Security, and Unit42 consultants. Through these partnerships you will develop intellectual property, programs, and processes that help our Architects do their work. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role ideal for a proactive problem-solver who thrives in ambiguity, sees inefficiencies as opportunities, and is eager to grow with a fast-moving business.
Key Responsibilities:
- Program Management & Enablement: Build and maintain structure to define our formal partnership with Enterprise Security and Product Management. Own and execute the CoE's operating cadence. Drive adoption of CoE tools and methodologies across the global GSAP team.
- Practice Development & Content Curation: Partner with senior architects to translate their expertise into high-quality, reusable assets. Implement a dynamic content strategy where advisory assets are easily updated and synthesized by AI tools. Own and manage the central IP library.
- Process Creation, Improvement & Management: Implement systems to support clear, organized knowledge-sharing. Engineer AI-native workflows by evaluating processes through a lens of automation. Identify process gaps and operational inefficiencies. Implement systems for knowledge sharing that capture "tribal knowledge" and automatically convert it into institutional assets.
Your Experience: Experience in a management consulting, practice operations, business analyst, or technical program management role. Fluency in AI-driven operations. Exceptional organizational and project management skills. An excellent communicator and influencer. An understanding of the cybersecurity landscape is a major plus.
