7AI is a foundational AI security company founded in 2024 by Cybereason co-founders, emerging from stealth in February 2025. The company has raised $166 million from investors including Index Ventures and Blackstone. The platform pairs a federated SIEM with AI agents that detect, investigate, respond, and hunt threats, plus dedicated threat hunting and threat intelligence capabilities with humans on the loop.
As an AI Solution Advisor, you will advise enterprise CISOs and SOC leaders on modernizing their security operations with 7AI. You'll set strategic direction and measurable outcomes, shape architecture and adoption plans, and work cross-functionally with solutions engineering, security engineering, and sales teams to deliver customer value. You'll engage selectively across strategic accounts, stepping in where your judgment matters most rather than owning accounts day-to-day. This role is designed for a former security executive ready to transition from being a CISO to advising CISOs.
Pre-sales responsibilities include engaging on strategic or complex deals to drive technical and executive wins; scoping solutions around the customer's path (replacing MDR/MSSP, automating SOC, transforming operations, displacing legacy SIEM/SOAR); defining target operating models, maturity baselines, first use cases, and roadmaps; diagnosing complex customer environments and identifying architectural, operational, and organizational gaps; spotting advisory opportunities like licensing optimization and tool consolidation; and leading executive security conversations and SOC transformation workshops.
Post-sales responsibilities include driving adoption, customer satisfaction, and referenceability; ensuring account teams execute well and stepping in when outcomes are at risk; building reusable playbooks and transformation models; mentoring solutions engineers and raising the consultative bar; bringing customer insights back to Product, R&D, Services, and Sales to shape roadmap and enablement; and routing deep implementation work to engineering teams.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 10+ years in cybersecurity, security operations, security architecture, or security consulting, including senior leadership
- Experience operating as CISO, deputy CISO, SOC leader, security operations executive, or senior security architect with credibility to engage CISOs, CIOs, and practitioners
- Track record leading change management and helping security organizations adopt new operating models
- Deep command of SOC operating models and maturity, SIEM, SOAR, MDR, detection, investigation, response, and security automation
- Ability to assess complex enterprise environments and scope integrations, connectors, workflows, tuning, and customizations
- Experience leading consultative engagements with senior security stakeholders and translating business goals into measurable outcomes
- Strong executive presence, clear writing and speaking, ability to simplify complex topics for executives
- Consultative, evidence-driven style with strong listening and diagnostic skills
- Comfort with ambiguity and early-stage operating models; instinct to build reusable frameworks
- Willingness to stay hands-on with technical discovery, platform walkthroughs, workflow design, and live case discussions
NICE TO HAVE:
- Prior experience as CISO, deputy CISO, or enterprise SOC leader (ideally 15+ years in cybersecurity, 6+ years leading large enterprise SOC)
- Degree in cybersecurity or information systems
- Track record designing or leading SOC transformation or security modernization programs
- Experience facilitating executive workshops, roadmap reviews, QBRs, or board-level security discussions
- Exposure to MSSP or multi-tenant service provider delivery models
- Familiarity with AI-driven or agentic security operations and federated SIEM approaches
- Experience creating reusable security strategies, operating models, playbooks, or transformation IP
- Experience advising across multiple strategic accounts without becoming permanent account owner
