Job Description Your Career The Senior Architect, Managed Security Services holds a pivotal mandate: defining and driving the technical standard for Next-Generation Managed Security Services across Asia Pacific and Japan. This is a specialized, high-impact technical role designed for a strategist who understands the intersection of advanced security architecture and service provider economics. You will not just be deploying products; you will be architecting scalable, multi-tenant service platforms that empower our most strategic Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs)/Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers to transform their operational capabilities. Sitting within the Ecosystems Architects and Industry Solutions team, you will act as the technical conscience for our partner ecosystem, moving them from legacy monitoring models to hyper-automated, platform-centric security delivery. We are looking for a rare blend of deep SOC/Cloud expertise, architectural systems thinking, and the executive gravitas required to influence the long-term service roadmaps of the region's top providers. Your Impact In this specialized role, you will act as the primary technical authority for: Service Design & Creation: Co-designing high-margin, high-efficacy service catalogs with partners. You will translate the Palo Alto Networks portfolio into deployable, scalable managed service offerings (MDR, SASE, Cloud Security). Architecting for Scale: Developing reference architectures that prioritize multi-tenancy, API-driven automation, and operational efficiency to lower the "cost-to-serve" for our partners. Strategic Influence: Engaging directly with Partner CTOs and VP-level executives to align their technical strategy with our platformization vision, driving mutual revenue growth through differentiated service offerings. Feedback Loop: Acting as the technical voice of the JAPAC MSSP market, identifying specific product enhancements (specifically regarding multi-tenancy and portal integrations) to sharpen the competitiveness of the Cortex and SASE portfolios. Elite Teaming: Collaborating with a cross-functional team of Account Managers, Solution Consultants, and Global Product leaders to execute complex, high-stakes service transformations. Qualifications Your Experience We are seeking a practitioner with a proven track record in high-scale environments. The ideal candidate views security not just as a control, but as a deliverable service. 12+ years of cybersecurity architecture experience, with a specific focus on Security Operations (SecOps/SOC) and architectural scale. Service Provider DNA: Deep, first-hand understanding of the MSSP business model, including multi-tenancy requirements, unit economics, SLA management, and the lifecycle of service creation. Technical Depth: Advanced knowledge of AI Driven SOC principles. Experience with API integration and automation strategy is highly preferred. Executive Presence: Ability to command a room and simplify complex architectural concepts for C-level audiences. Thought Leadership: A passion for advancing the industry—previous participation in technical forums, white paper authorship, or speaking engagements (e.g., Black Hat, BSides, or regional equivalents) is a strong plus.
