## Description

We are looking for a Sales Engineering Manager - UAE to join our team. This is a hybrid role, reporting to the Sales Engineering Director in the Solutions Consulting department.

You will work to define and drive the regional technical-win strategy in partnership with Sales leadership, ensuring consistent, high-quality pre-sales execution across priority accounts. By leading and developing a team of Sales Engineers, you will orchestrate cross-functional partners to deliver customer outcomes, influence product direction through structured field feedback, and standardize repeatable pre-sales plays and solution frameworks to accelerate deals and long-term adoption.

**Role Expectations**

- Own the end-to-end pre-sales motion and ensure the Sales Engineering team delivers consistently high-quality, value-based customer engagements that accelerate pipeline and close outcomes.

- Build a high-performing, engaged SE team through coaching and 1:1s, with clear development plans, continuous feedback, mentoring, and defined career progression.

- Partner with customers across markets to deliver network, security, and application access transformation with Zscaler, while serving as their trusted voice to influence product direction internally.

**Who You Are (Success Profile)**

- You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it.

- You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action.

- You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution.

- You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself.

- You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development.

**What We're Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)**

- 8+ years enterprise pre-sales / solutions engineering experience (security, networking, cloud, or SaaS) across complex, multi-stakeholder deals.

- 2+ years leading and developing Sales Engineers (hiring, coaching, performance, career growth).

- Proven ability to run the regional pre-sales motion: pipeline support, deal strategy, and forecasting partnership with Sales.

- Strong executive customer leadership and a deep security/networking foundation (e.g., Zero Trust, identity, secure connectivity, cloud security) with strong cross-functional collaboration and willingness to travel.

- Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain.

**What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)**

- Experience enabling pre-sales teams to position AI-powered threat detection, automated policy generation, or AI-driven security analytics to maximize customer value.

- Proven experience leading enterprise security/cloud pre-sales teams in a high-growth SaaS environment (multi-country/multi-market a plus).

- Demonstrated ability to scale and develop an SE organization (hiring, onboarding, enablement, repeatable plays, career frameworks).

**Benefits**
