About The Position

The Strategic Product Engagement Team is a Splunk force multiplier to drive durable Splunk and Cisco cross-portfolio growth over time.

Over time, we will extend the same operating model to accelerate adoption, expansion, and Splunk and Cisco cross-portfolio value. We work through a unified engagement model with shared accountability, clear decision rights, and disciplined handoffs to the teams that own the customer relationship, commercial motion, and product roadmap.
