Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Amtex Systems Inc is seeking a Senior Consultant to support client network segmentation and Zero Trust engagements. The role leads technical assessments, dependency mapping, trust-boundary and zone design, strategy development, client deliverables, workshops, stakeholder communication, and selected pre-sales and practice-development activities.
Responsibilities
- Execute assigned delivery tasks and workstream components within Segmentation and Zero Trust engagements, with accountability for quality, accuracy, and on-time completion
- Lead technical components of segmentation assessments: current-state discovery, network/application dependency analysis, findings documentation, and maturity scoring against defined frameworks (with guidance from engagement lead)
- Deliver client's Segmentation Accelerator and Zero Trust Maturity Evaluation services: protect-surface definitions, zone/trust-boundary design, segmentation policy, and rationalization of client-owned segmentation/Zero Trust technology
- Produce client-ready deliverables — discovery summaries, gap and risk assessments, segmentation strategy, executable segmentation plans, maturity scorecards, architecture diagrams, and executive findings — meeting client's professional services quality standards
- Facilitate discovery sessions, stakeholder interviews, and working-level workshops; synthesize findings into structured outputs for Lead Consultant review
- Support segmentation strategy and design: document current-state architecture, identify gaps/risks, define future-state zones and trust boundaries, and contribute to phased roadmap recommendations
- Build working-level relationships with client technical teams and stakeholders; establish credibility as a reliable Segmentation and Zero Trust resource
- Communicate findings clearly and accurately to client counterparts; begin developing ability to present to project sponsors and working-group leadership
- Contribute to client status reporting, meeting facilitation, and action item tracking under engagement lead direction
- Support pre-sales/pursuit activities: SOW scoping, effort estimation, proposal content (under direction)
- Contribute to practice development: reusable delivery assets, assessment templates, segmentation patterns, technical write-ups
- Build commercial awareness of engagement economics, utilization expectations, and delivery quality's link to client satisfaction/account growth
- Build depth across segmentation and Zero Trust domains, platforms, and frameworks through project work, certifications, partner training, and self-directed learning
- Apply feedback from Lead Consultants and Senior Managers; demonstrate growth in delivery independence, communication, and technical breadth
- Begin coaching junior colleagues on technical tasks and client delivery standards
Skills
- • 4–8 years of experience in Cybersecurity or enterprise IT with clear focus on network segmentation and Zero Trust; hands-on experience with at least two segmentation domains (network/fabric segmentation, host-based microsegmentation, identity-based segmentation, or Zero Trust network access)
- • Strong understanding of core segmentation/Zero Trust concepts: protect surfaces, zones and trust boundaries, least privilege, deny-by-default, east-west vs. north-south traffic, lateral-movement containment, blast-radius reduction, application dependency mapping, visibility-before-enforcement sequencing
- • Working knowledge of relevant frameworks: NIST SP 800-207 (Zero Trust), CISA ZTMM, NIST CSF 2.0, NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001/27002, PCI-DSS v4 segmentation requirements, HIPAA Security Rule, ISA/IEC 62443 (OT)
- • Hands-on experience with one or more platform categories:
- • Network & Fabric Segmentation : Cisco (ACI, SD-Access/ISE, TrustSec/SGT), Arista (EVPN/VXLAN), Elisity
- • Host-Based Microsegmentation : Illumio, Akamai Guardicore, VMware NSX, Cisco Secure Workload
- • Firewall & Perimeter Enforcement : Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco, Check Point
- • Identity-Based Segmentation & ZTNA : Zscaler (ZPA), Cisco ISE
- • Asset Visibility & Discovery : flow collection/dependency mapping, CMDB (e.g., ServiceNow), OT/IoT/IoMT visibility platforms
- • Demonstrated consulting delivery competencies: structured discovery, gap analysis, technical communication, workshop facilitation, deliverable quality, engagement collaboration
- • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Networking, or related field
- • Certifications: CISSP, ISSAP, CISM, CCZT, or equivalent; vendor certs (Cisco CCNP Security, Palo Alto PCNSE, Fortinet NSE, Illumio, Zscaler) a strong plus
- • Enterprise experience across financial services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, or public sector - especially where segmentation intersects regulatory compliance (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP)
- • Prior consulting experience at a professional services firm, systems integrator, or client-facing advisory role
- • Familiarity with pre-sales processes: SOW development, effort estimation, proposal support
