​This is a Permanent, Full-Time position with The Trevi Group (Reference ID: 1771), an IT executive search firm representing a “solid growing IT solution provider” in the Philadelphia area. The role is Remote, but requires residency within a 90-mile radius of Philadelphia, PA, to support regional enterprise customers. You will serve as the technical lead for the sales cycle, designing multi-vendor security architectures that solve complex business challenges.

• ​Position ID: 1771
• ​Location: Remote (Philly/PA/NJ/DE area)
• ​Estimated Salary: $155,000 – $190,000 + Annual Bonus
• ​Primary Vendors: Cisco, Fortinet, Rapid7, and Cloudflare.
• ​Focus Areas: SASE, Zero Trust, Network Security, and Cloud Access.

​Core Responsibilities: Strategy, Design, and Influence

​This role is for a “Technical Closer”—someone who can build a vision for a client and then provide the engineering blueprint to back it up.

​Pre-Sales Architecture and Scoping

​You will lead the technical discovery process for high-impact enterprise engagements. This involves translating complex client security requirements into actionable designs, including Bill of Materials (BOMs) and technical proposals. You’ll act as the subject matter expert (SME) during the architectural planning phase, ensuring vendor alignment and technical feasibility.

​Executive and Technical Presentations

​A major part of this role is high-level communication. You will deliver workshops, product demonstrations, and technical presentations to both C-level executives (CISOs, CIOs) and hands-on engineering teams. You must be able to explain the business value of security investments while defending the technical integrity of the proposed solution.

​Security Framework Integration

​You will design solutions that align with modern industry frameworks, such as NIST, CIS Controls, and Zero Trust. Specifically, you will focus on implementing SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) architectures that unite network and security functions in the cloud to protect distributed workforces.

​Required Qualifications and Skills

​The ideal candidate has a “VAR (Value-Added Reseller) mindset”—the ability to work across multiple products to find the best fit for the customer.

• ​Experience: 7+ years in cybersecurity architecture or design, specifically in a pre-sales or consulting capacity.
• ​Partner Experience: Proven experience working at a Cisco partner, VAR, or IT solutions provider.
• ​Vendor Proficiency: Deep technical knowledge of Cisco Security, with working knowledge of Fortinet, Rapid7, and Cloudflare.
• ​Framework Knowledge: Familiarity with Zero Trust principles, SASE, and federal/industry compliance standards (NIST).
• ​Certifications (Preferred): Professional-level certifications such as CCNP Security or CCIE.

​Summary of Role Impact

​In the current threat landscape, enterprise customers are moving away from “point products” toward integrated security platforms. As a Solutions Architect for this growing provider, your impact is measured by your ability to reduce client risk through cohesive architecture. By leveraging a multi-vendor stack (Cisco/Fortinet/Rapid7), you provide the agility and defense-in-depth that modern Philly-area enterprises require to scale securely.
