PAID PRE-SALES ENGAGEMENT
AppViewX Subject Matter Expert
CLM | PKI | Machine Identity AutomationContract • Remote • 20 Hours Maximum • 5–6 Weeks

Engagement Overview

We are an IT professional services firm engaged in an active pre-sales pursuit requiring specialized AppViewX expertise. We are seeking an experienced AppViewX practitioner to serve as a paid subject matter expert (SME) to support scoping, solution design, and client-facing advisory activities throughout the engagement.

This is a structured, time-boxed consulting engagement — not a full-time role. The right candidate will hit the ground running with deep hands-on AppViewX knowledge and the ability to operate comfortably in a pre-sales, client-facing environment.  Should the end customer decide to implement AppViewX it could turn into a long term contract engagement.
 

Engagement Terms

• Engagement Type: Paid consulting contract
• Total Hours: Hard maximum of 20 hours across the full engagement
• Duration: 5 to 6 weeks from engagement start
• Work Model: Remote
• Hours Breakdown: Flexible and milestone-driven; distributed across discovery, design, and client sessions as scoped
• Compensation: Competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience

• Assess deployment environment: on-premises, private cloud, SaaS, hybrid multi-cloud, Kubernetes/container workloads, and edge

Technical Advisory & Design

• Recommend the appropriate AVX ONE modules given the client's environment and use cases (CLM, PKIaaS, KUBE+, Code Signing, SSH, ADC, Quantum Trust Hub)
• Advise on deployment architecture and phasing: Discovery (weeks 1–2), Automation Deployment (weeks 3–4), and Enterprise Scale roadmap
• Guide integration requirements across ITSM (ServiceNow, BMC Remedy), PAM, SIEM, HSM, DevOps toolchains, and CA connectors
• Assess 47-day TLS mandate readiness and advise on ACME protocol automation requirements
• Advise on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness posture and Quantum Trust Hub applicability
• Identify Microsoft PKI modernization opportunities and PKIaaS migration pathways

 

Client-Facing Support

• Assist in developing scope narratives, technical assumptions, and risk/dependency documentation for inclusion in SOW
• Provide input on level-of-effort estimates and implementation phasing recommendations
• Serve as a technical credibility resource during client-facing presentations or demos
