Description
Our Mission
At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission:
Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.
Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.
FLEXWORK is an employee-centric reimagining of how we work. We built FLEXWORK based on employee feedback – it is about flexibility, trust, and choice whenever possible. It’s been a journey of disruption that has yielded the best of our values. We offer as much flexibility as possible, and choices that enable you to be most productive, including benefits that meet your needs and learning opportunities that you feel passionate about.
Your Career
At Palo Alto Networks, we are passionate about protecting our digital way of life, and we need someone like you to play a vital role in our mission. As the cybersecurity partner of choice, we are at the forefront of safeguarding businesses and individuals from evolving cyber threats.
In this exciting role, you'll be instrumental in driving business growth and expanding our reach in your assigned territory. By leading the charge in acquiring new enterprise customers and nurturing lasting relationships with key stakeholders, you'll be making a tangible impact on our success.

We expect office-based employees to be in the office four days per week, with one day working from where they choose. We believe being together facilitates casual conversations and those magic moments where we can work on issues and ideas informally. These moments build capability and deepen trusted relationships and allow our people to feel safe in taking risks and being disruptive. Like so many companies, we are working through the details and things could change …. but in general if a role is deemed office-based we want our teams to be together four days per week.
