SASE解决方案（电信和MSSP EMEA）资深系统顾问

Location: Europe (remote) · Work region: EMEA · Travel: up to 20% · Team: Consulting Systems Engineering EMEA – Telco & MSSP · Level: Senior
About the role
SASE is where Telcos and MSSPs are placing their next big managed-service bet — but turning FortiSASE, SD-WAN, and Universal ZTNA into a productized, multi-tenant offering that partners can actually sell and operate is a different problem than winning a single-tenant enterprise deal. Add to that a European market increasingly demanding data and digital sovereignty, and the bar for "production-ready" keeps rising.
As a Senior CSE for SASE Solutions, you're the technical authority who helps Telco and MSSP partners across EMEA architect, launch, and scale managed SASE services — and who arms Fortinet field SEs to win the competitive fights that get them there. You'll be based in Europe, working across the full EMEA footprint.
What you'll own

• Productize SASE outcomes. Co-design managed SD-WAN, SSE, and Universal ZTNA offerings with partners — mapping capabilities to service tiers, SLAs, and multi-tenant service models that remain viable for the partner's business at scale.

• Win the technical bar. Lead architecture deep-dives, PoVs, and competitive displacements that establish Fortinet as the technical choice.

• Design for scale, not just for the pilot. Guide partners past the single-site PoV into industrialized rollout — repeatable onboarding, automated provisioning, and operational models that hold up across hundreds of tenants and sites.

• Own the integration story. Map how SASE fits into a partner's existing NOC/SOC, ticketing, billing, and orchestration stack — API and telemetry integration is as much a deal-maker as the security architecture itself.

• Speak to sovereignty with substance. Address data residency, in-country processing, and digital sovereignty requirements head-on — increasingly a hard requirement for European Telcos, public-sector-adjacent MSSPs, and regulated verticals, not a nice-to-have.

• Build the playbooks. Create reusable reference architectures and sizing tools that field SEs and partners can run without you in the room.

• Be the field's forward edge. Represent Fortinet at partner technical events, enablement sessions, and executive briefings across EMEA — translating SASE architecture into a commercial story partners can take to their own customers.

• Close the loop. Feed real deployment and competitive learnings back into our solution content, sales plays, and product teams — sharpening what the whole field organization takes to market next.

What you bring

• Multi-year, hands-on depth in pre-sales/sales engineering or solution architecture across networking, network security, or SASE/SSE — ideally with direct exposure to Telco or MSSP partner environments, not just direct enterprise accounts.

• Solid, hands-on grounding in SD-WAN, ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and DLP architectures, plus core networking (BGP, routing, traffic steering) and identity/auth integration (SAML, RADIUS, Entra ID, Okta).

• Working knowledge of European data and digital sovereignty requirements — data residency, in-country hosting, GDPR-adjacent constraints — and how they shape SASE architecture decisions for Telcos and public-sector-facing MSSPs.

• Real understanding of operational reality — how a service is actually monitored and supported day to day, not just how it gets sold and deployed.

• Proven experience with integration — APIs, orchestration, and telemetry pipelines that connect SASE into a partner's broader NOC/SOC and billing ecosystem.

• A track record of taking something from pilot to industrialized scale — standardized onboarding, automation, and repeatable processes across large partner or multi-tenant estates.

• Comfort discussing multi-tenant, service-provider-grade architecture — not just single-customer deployments — and translating that into a partner's own service catalogue and SLAs.

• Strong competitive fluency: able to hold your own, with credibility, against the major SASE/SSE vendors in a technical room.

• A builder-operator mindset — equally comfortable running a PoV, presenting to a partner's leadership, or writing the reference architecture doc afterward.

• Fluent English; a second major European language is a strong plus.

• Based in Europe, with willingness to travel up to 20% across the EMEA region.

How we work
You'll join a collaborative, peer-led overlay team that runs on transparent, consent-based decision-making rather than only top-down mandates your voice shapes the roadmap.
