About Node4

We are a united force driven by a single ambition; to deliver faster transformation, lower cost, and truly differentiated outcomes - we do this by bringing together our AI Augmented MSP platform, hybrid sovereign cloud solutions, deep Microsoft expertise and the Node4 People

We are:

Nimble – We focus on what matters most, adapt fast and embrace change

Original – We think differently, stay curious and innovate

Driven – We are bold, bring energy and own the outcome

Engaged – We operate as one, building strong relationships

4 More – We always go further for our people, customers and partners

About the role

The Security & Networks Portfolio Director is responsible for defining and evolving Node4’s Security & Networks portfolio, ensuring it is outcome‑led, commercially successful, and aligned to customer and market needs.

The role owns the strategic intent of the Security & Networks portfolio – the what and why – including portfolio vision, roadmap, investment priorities, and lifecycle decisions, working in partnership with aligned Practice leadership, who own delivery, operational viability, and in‑life performance.

The Security & Networks Portfolio Director ensures offerings are coherent, scalable, and positioned around customer journeys rather than individual products, working closely with Practices, Product & Portfolio Operations, GTM, Commercial and Architecture teams.

A key focus for this role will be accelerating Node4's Security & Networks portfolio strategy, including expansion of strategic vendor partnerships (Fortinet and Microsoft), strengthening market differentiation and establishing a clear roadmap for secure networking and security services.

Portfolio Scope & Ownership

This role is accountable for the definition, direction and governance of the following Security & Networks elements of the Node4 portfolio including (but not limited to) services such as

Managed Network Services

Connectivity

SD-WAN

SASE

Fortinet-based Network & Security Solutions

LAN/WAN Modernisation inc. NAC

Managed SIEM

MXDR & EDR

Vulnerability Management

Security Operations services

These represent examples of the core areas within scope; the Portfolio Director may also oversee adjacent or evolving services as the domain develops.

Key Responsibilities

Portfolio Strategy & Direction

Set the overall direction for the Security & Networks portfolio.

Define the portfolio vision, positioning and roadmap

Translate customer needs and market trends into clear priorities

Ensure alignment with Node4’s wider strategy

Make decisions on where to invest, evolve or retire offerings

Customer Journeys & Offering Design

Ensure the portfolio is structured around outcomes, not products.

Define end-to-end customer journeys and how offerings combine

Ensure offerings are clearly structured, positioned and easy to understand

Define entry points (e.g. assessments, pilots, packaged offers)

Work with Product & Portfolio Operations on detailed productisation and SKU design

Commercial Performance & Growth

Ensure the portfolio is commercially effective and drives growth.

Drive sustainable revenue growth across the Security & Networks portfolio

Shape pricing, packaging and commercial models in partnership with Practice and GTM teams

Improve portfolio-level margin and economic sustainability

Support key opportunities and ensure offerings are usable in real customers deals

Drive simplification and focus across the portfolio

Innovation, AI & Portfolio Evolution

Ensure the portfolio stays relevant as technology and customer demand evolves.

Identify and embed AI capabilities across the portfolio

Support development of new services and MVPs

Align with strategic partners, particularly Fortinet and Microsoft, on portfolio direction, proposition development, funding opportunities and joint go-to-market activity.

Guide evolution of offerings in line with market change

Adoption, Value & Lifecycle

Ensure offerings deliver ongoing value, not just initial sale.

Define how services are adopted, expanded and retained

Make portfolio lifecycle decisions based on performance and adoption

Work with Practice and Services teams to ensure value is delivered in-life

Improve customer lifetime value through portfolio design

Architecture & Standards

Ensure the Security & Networks portfolio is built on consistent, scalable and supportable architectural principles.

Define high-level architectural direction and standards for the domain

Lead and guide architects (aligned or assigned) to ensure designs support portfolio objectives

Ensure offerings align to agreed reference architectures and avoid one-off solutions

Use architectural input to inform portfolio decisions

Avoid one-off or non-scalable designs through strong portfolio governance

Collaboration & Alignment

Ensure the portfolio works as part of a wider system.

Work with other Portfolio Directors to create joined-up solutions

Contribute to cross-domain customer journeys

Provide clear input into Sales Enablement and GTM teams

Align with architecture and delivery teams to ensure offerings are viable and scalable

Leadership responsibilities

Act as the strategic owner of the Security & Networks portfolio

Provide direction to Product Managers, Architects and R&D teams

Work in close partnership with aligned Practice Leaders

Represent the portfolio in leadership and governance forums

Ensure the portfolio operates as a coherent, outcome-led system, not a collection of services

Lead and direct architectural capability within the Security & Networks, including Domain Architects or shared architecture resource

What will you bring?

Proven experience defining, evolving and managing technology portfolios within a Managed Services, Service Provider or Systems Integrator environment.

Strong background in networking, connectivity or infrastructure services, with experience spanning areas such as WAN, LAN, SD-WAN, SASE, secure access, network operations and managed networking and security services.

Experience working with leading networking and security vendor ecosystems, ideally including Fortinet and Microsoft, and shaping propositions, roadmaps and growth strategies around strategic partnerships.

Demonstrable understanding of market trends, customer challenges and competitive dynamics across networking, connectivity and secure networking services.

Experience building outcome-led propositions and customer journeys, translating technical capabilities into clear customer value and commercial opportunity.

Track record of working closely with Sales, Pre-Sales, Architecture, Practice and Delivery teams to drive portfolio growth and market adoption.

Experience developing business cases, investment proposals and portfolio roadmaps, balancing customer demand, commercial performance and strategic objectives.

Understanding of adjacent cyber security capabilities including SASE, Zero Trust, Managed Detection & Response and Security Operations, and how these integrate with broader networking strategies.

Experience presenting portfolio strategy and investment recommendations to senior stakeholders and executive leadership teams.

Familiarity with recurring revenue services, vendor management, service lifecycle management and go-to-market planning.

Experience building strategic relationships with vendors, influencing partner roadmaps and driving joint growth initiatives.
