About the job:

As a Senior Advanced Delivery Architect (ADA) within Wiz’s Advanced Services organization, you will be at the center of helping customers tackle the big-rock technical challenges that block them from getting full value out of the Wiz platform. You will deliver strategic engagements that guide customers through onboarding, deployment, customizations, and adoption, while advising on people, process, and technology adjustments required to achieve their desired cloud security outcomes.

You will serve as a trusted advisor to customers, bringing both technical expertise and consulting skills to drive results. Within Wiz, you’ll contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by experimenting with new delivery techniques, codifying best practices, and sharing knowledge across the immediate and cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and deliver Wiz Advanced Services engagements as a designated technical expert, driving targeted outcomes that accelerate adoption and ROI.
• Advise customers on cloud security operational best practices and how to secure their cloud deployments.
• Act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders, helping them make the technical and process decisions aligned with identified business drivers, even when requiring larger organizational transformation.
• Provide clear guidance on how Wiz integrates into a customer’s broader security architecture and lead solutioning exercises to drive end-to-end operational gains.
• Serve as Subject Matter Expert (SME) in two or more of the following areas: Migrations & Integration, Advanced Deployments, CSPM (Wiz Cloud), SDLC (Wiz Code), Threat Detection & Response (Wiz Defend).
• Partner with strategic GSIs and key partners — assist with their deliveries where required, coach partner consultants on Wiz delivery practices, review partner-led implementations, and serve as escalation backup.
• Identify and communicate technical adoption risks within project delivery, collaborating with Delivery Managers and PMO as needed.
• Handle deeper tactical technical requests from the post-sales team.
• Capture and share delivery insights and reusable assets to strengthen our collective practice.
• Maintain up-to-date technical and functional knowledge of Wiz products and services, and adjacent technologies, continuously sharpening your expertise.
• Provide product feedback to Wiz Product teams on feature requests, gaps, or bugs surfaced through customer engagements.
