Job Summary

Your Career

As the Cortex Delivery Lead for Professional Services, you will be the operational engine that runs our consulting team. In this pivotal leadership role, you will own the day-to-day project operations, team cadence, and engagement frameworks that ensure our deployments across Cortex and Cortex Cloud—with a primary focus on Cortex XSIAM—are executed flawlessly.

You will manage project staffing, oversee the delivery pipeline, and define how we "turn up" in front of enterprise customers. By taking ownership of project assignments, delivery standards, and operational escalations, you will ensure our consultants are effectively utilized, supported, and delivering a premium, consistent customer experience that aligns with Palo Alto Networks' best practices.

Your Impact

• Drive Team Operations & Cadence: Run the daily/weekly operational cadence for the consulting team. Manage day-to-day activities to ensure strong team morale, high performance, and alignment with business objectives.

• Own Project Assignments & Resourcing: Analyze the incoming pipeline, understand consultant skillsets and capacity, and own the assignment of resources to projects (Cortex XSIAM, XDR, XSOAR, Cortex Cloud). Proactively manage billable utilization rates, mitigate burnout, and convert consultant downtime into focused strategic initiatives, training, and process uplifts.

• Define the Engagement Framework: Standardize and own the customer engagement lifecycle (kick-offs, project tracking, status reporting, and communication standards) to guarantee a premium delivery experience, especially for long-term XSIAM transformations.

• Lead Operational Escalations: Handle project delays, scoping adjustments, and operational customer escalations. Keep projects on track and unblock the team from administrative or scheduling hurdles.

• Foster Delivery Excellence: Work closely with technical leadership and management to ensure that operational frameworks support technical methodologies, driving continuous improvement in how we deliver Professional Services.

• Excellent organizational and problem-solving skills, capable of managing multiple moving parts in a high-velocity deployment environment.

• High emotional intelligence and leadership capability to mentor, guide, and manage the day-to-day morale and performance of a consulting team.
