Job description

AHEAD builds platforms for digital business. By weaving together advances in cloud infrastructure, automation and analytics, and software delivery, we help enterprises deliver on the promise of digital transformation.

At AHEAD, we prioritize creating a culture of belonging, where all perspectives and voices are represented, valued, respected, and heard. We create spaces to empower everyone to speak up, make change, and drive the culture at AHEAD.

We are an equal opportunity employer, and do not discriminate based on an individual's race, national origin, color, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, marital status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law, whether actual or perceived.

We embrace all candidates that will contribute to the diversification and enrichment of ideas and perspectives at AHEAD.

We are seeking a Senior Technical Consultant to lead firewall, network access control, and SASE engagements across diverse enterprise environments. This role spans three core technology pillars: next-generation firewall design and deployment (Cisco Secure Firewall, Palo Alto Networks), Cisco ISE-based network access control and identity services, and SASE/Zero Trust architectures (Zscaler, Palo Alto Prisma Access, Cisco Secure Access, Netskope).

The ideal candidate combines deep hands-on expertise across these platforms with strong consulting skills, owning end-to-end delivery from discovery and design through implementation, testing, and knowledge transfer. This is a client-facing role that requires the ability to lead technical workstreams, produce professional documentation, and communicate complex security strategies to both technical and executive audiences.
