The Role

The Professional Services Director leads the strategy, execution, and performance of Professional Services across Americas East, supporting mid-size and large enterprise customers, Federal, and SLED segments. This role is accountable for delivery outcomes, time-to-value acceleration, and operational rigor within the region, leading an organization that includes Consultants, Service Delivery Managers, and Professional Services Managers. In addition to regional accountability, this Director serves as the global Professional Services leader for the Collaboration Security platform, focused on platform enablement strategy, services standards, and product partnership across all regions. This role does not own delivery execution for customers outside of Americas East. Regional Professional Services leaders retain accountability for delivery performance within their respective geographies.

This Director provides global platform leadership by:
- Defining implementation frameworks and consultative standards for the Collaboration Security platform
- Establishing enablement strategy and capability requirements across the global Professional Services organization
- Supporting delivery execution and advancing Certified Deployment Partner enablement program goals
- Ensuring consistent technical depth and deployment readiness worldwide
- Representing Professional Services in structured partnership with Product Management and Engineering

Principal Consultants specializing in the Collaboration Security portfolio report directly to this Director. These senior technical leaders drive complex implementations within the region and contribute to global architectural standards, thought leadership, and platform expertise. The Director is responsible for their performance, development, and alignment to both regional delivery and global platform objectives.

The Director owns global Professional Services enablement for the Collaboration Security platform — ensuring consultants worldwide are prepared to deploy evolving product capabilities, integrations, and advanced configurations, and collaborating closely with Customer Success, TAM, and Managed Services leaders responsible for adoption and operational success. Additionally, the Director oversees resources supporting implementation and consultative services engagements for the Data Security and Governance (DSG) program, partnering closely with the peer Director leading US West to ensure consistency across the Americas.

As the executive escalation point for Americas East and a visible global platform authority, the Director builds credibility with CISOs, CIOs, and senior security leaders. This role actively influences product roadmap direction by translating field insights, implementation friction, and customer requirements into structured feedback for Product Management and Engineering. The Director establishes disciplined operating mechanisms across both regional execution and global platform alignment, including KPI dashboards, forecasting accuracy, capacity modeling, standardized methodologies, and formalized product feedback loops.
