About The Position

We are looking for a Senior Partner Solutions Architect to lead the technical strategy for one of our largest and most complex partnerships. In this role, you won't just be supporting sales; you will be the technical architect behind the joint offerings that Wiz and top-tier GSIs bring to the Global 2000. You will act as the bridge between the GSI’s massive digital transformation projects and the Wiz platform, proving how the Wiz Security Graph and our agentless architecture can accelerate their delivery and secure their customers' cloud estates.

Requirements

• 5+ years of Cloud Security expertise: Deep technical understanding of the major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) and the security challenges inherent to cloud-native architectures.
• GSI DNA: Proven track record working for or with Global Systems Integrators. You understand their matrixed structure, how they monetize services, and how to navigate internal politics to build champions.
• Modern DevOps & Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proficiency with IaC tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible. You understand how to "shift left" and integrate security into CI/CD pipelines.
• Secure Software Supply Chain (CI/CD): Experience implementing "Shift Left" strategies by integrating security scanning into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins) to detect vulnerabilities before deployment.
• SOC Integration & Modernization: Deep understanding of modern SOC workflows and experience integrating cloud security telemetry into SIEM/SOAR platforms (Splunk, Cortex XSOAR, Microsoft Sentinel) to streamline incident response.
• Consultative Storytelling: You can explain complex technical concepts like the "toxic combination" of risks to a technical audience, but also articulate the business ROI of consolidation to a non-technical executive.

Nice To Haves

• Vertical Expertise: Experience designing security architectures for highly regulated industries (Financial Services, Healthcare, Public Sector) and familiarity with their compliance frameworks.
• CNAPP/Runtime Security: Hands-on experience with container security, Kubernetes (K8s) admission controllers, and runtime threat detection.
• AI Security (AI-SPM): Understanding of the risks associated with AI/ML pipelines and Large Language Models (LLMs) in the cloud.
• Data Security (DSPM): Experience with cloud data governance and discovery.
• Certifications: GCP, CKA/CKAD, AWS Certified Security – Specialty, or Azure Security Engineer Associate.

Responsibilities

• Architect Joint Offerings: Design and build technical frameworks for Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) offerings powered by Wiz.
• Embed Wiz into GSI Blueprints: Work with GSI practice leads to embed Wiz as the default security standard in their Cloud Migration, App Modernization, and AI transformation reference architectures.
• Drive Executive Alignment: Build technical credibility with GSI CTOs, CISOs, and Practice Leaders, helping them navigate the complexities of cloud security (CSPM, DSPM, CWP) to drive top-down adoption.
• Scale Technical Enablement: Move beyond basic training; Provide input to the design of "train-the-trainer" programs and advanced bootcamps that empower thousands of GSI consultants to implement and manage Wiz.
• Product Feedback Loop: Act as the voice of the GSI within Wiz. Collaborate with Product Management and Engineering to influence the roadmap based on the unique multi-tenancy and scale requirements of our partners.
• Evangelize Cloud Security: Serve as a thought leader in the industry, representing Wiz at partner conferences and in joint whitepapers, specifically focusing on how CNAPP enables speed and agility.
