Your Career
Our leading consultancy seeks an experienced and innovative Technical Transformation Specialist to identify, craft and oversee high-impact transformation programmes across our most important EMEA clients.
This role requires a trusted technical advisor who can bridge the gap between strategic vision and technical execution — collaborating with vCISOs, Unit 42 engagement leads, and client stakeholders to design and deliver transformation blueprints, platform adoption strategies, and pragmatic implementation roadmaps.
You’ll work at multiple levels: partnering with Unit 42 peers and client senior decision makers to influence transformation direction, embedding into delivery teams to guide execution, and engaging in activities to elevate Unit 42’s voice in the market.
You bring a deep understanding of Palo Alto Networks technologies, especially Cortex and Prisma, and experience in applying them within large-scale transformation programmes. This role blends delivery, technical advisory, thought leadership, and enablement — ensuring our clients achieve measurable security outcomes while unlocking the benefits of a platform adoption strategy.

Embed into key Unit 42 client engagements to design and deliver security transformation roadmaps.
Partner with vCISOs and engagement leads to translate high-level strategy into actionable, technical programmes.

Identify opportunities for platform adoption, particularly across Cortex, Prisma, and NGFW portfolios.
Collaborate across presales, professional services, and product teams to ensure a unified client experience.
Thought Leadership & Industry Collaboration:
Represent Unit 42 and Palo Alto Networks in technical workshops, industry roundtables, or conferences.
Maintain expertise in AI, cloud security, Zero Trust, SOC transformation, and platformization strategies.
Co-author technical thought leadership content, micro-briefs, and transformation guides for clients.
Serve as an internal technical SME, supporting GTM campaigns and enablement initiatives across EMEA.
Technical Excellence & Enablement:
Ensure transformation recommendations are pragmatic, achievable, and aligned to client operating realities.
Maintain awareness of industry best practices, emerging technologies, and regulatory shifts impacting transformation.
Provide technical mentoring and knowledge sharing across Unit 42 teams to strengthen delivery capability.
Your Experience
Proven experience delivering large-scale security transformation programmes in enterprise environments.
Hands-on expertise with Palo Alto Networks technologies, particularly Cortex and Prisma; NGFW experience highly valued.
Background in architecture, presales, professional services, or platform strategy.
Strong understanding of cloud-native security, AI applications, Zero Trust, and SOC modernisation.
Skilled communicator — able to engage confidently with both technical teams and senior executives.
Experience in the EMEA market, with understanding of local delivery and sales ecosystems.
Fluent in English, with German, Spanish, or Italian as strong differentiators.
Highly Desired:
Recognised expertise in a specialist technical topic and the ability to present it at industry events.
Professional certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, CCSK, PCNSE).
Experience working within multi-provider, multi-year transformation engagements.
The Team
Unit 42 brings together our world-renowned threat researchers with an elite team of security consultants to create an intelligence-driven, response ready organization.
