Cisco Pre-Sales Consultant (Secure Networking)
Remote, UK based | Up to £95,000 plus benefits
Fully remote, with occasional UK travel for customer workshops and vendor training.
A fast-growing, award-winning UK cloud and managed services provider is looking for a Cisco Pre-Sales Consultant to join its Secure Infrastructure design authority.
This is a customer-facing role. You will own the technical relationship across a base of Cisco and Meraki customers, shape their strategic roadmap, and make sure every project is designed with the longer-term business and security objectives in mind. It is consultative and strategic, not pure delivery.
What you will be doing:
- Leading customer workshops, whiteboard sessions and discovery to define current and future requirements.
- Designing secure networking solutions across the Cisco and Meraki portfolio, and producing the solution options and validation papers that shape the work.
- Owning multi-year infrastructure roadmaps and acting as the security authority, aligning designs to frameworks such as CIS, NIST, ISO27001 and NIS2.
- Working directly with the vendor on solution and commercial development.
- Building automation to enhance the managed service, using Python, Ansible, Terraform and Cisco/Meraki APIs.
