Product Marketing

Cisco has been designing and selling a broad range of technologies that have been powering the Internet since 1984. We are integrating intent-based technologies across networking, security, collaboration, applications and the cloud. Our Customer Solutions Marketing team works across all of the Product Marketing teams to bring focus to the leading innovations and technology.

These technologies are crafted to help our customers manage more users, devices and things connecting to their networks and accelerating their cloud adoption. This will enable us to provide customers with a highly secure, intelligent platform for their digital business.

As our customers add billions of new connections to their enterprises, and as more applications move to a multi-cloud environment, the network becomes even more critical. Our customers are navigating change at an outstanding pace and our mission is to encourage new possibilities for them by helping transform their infrastructure, expand applications and analytics, address their security needs, and empower their teams. We believe that our customers are looking for intent-based networks that provide meaningful business value through automation, security, and analytics across private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. Our vision is to deliver highly secure, software-defined, automated and intelligent platforms for our customers. We are growing our research and development (R&D) investments in certain product areas including cloud security, cloud collaboration, and application insights and analytics. We are also making investments to enable us to increase automation and support the customer as the workplace changes. In addition, we continue to remain passionate about investments around Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), multi-cloud environments, 5G and WiFi-6, 400G speeds, optical networking, next generation silicon and artificial intelligence (AI). We are also accelerating our efforts to enable the delivery of network functionality as a service.

Working with Customer Solutions Marketing means being surrounded by passionate, intelligent and creative people that are determined to redefine and build the next frontier of the Internet. With innovative ideas, world-class research and outstanding products and services. It’s a place where the best ideas are quickly transformed into products, features, campaigns and company-wide practices, so it won’t be long before you witness the results of your hard work.

We Are Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference. Here’s how we do it.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (30 years strong!) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. An AI/Machine Learning company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, we give our egos a break and we give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, we take bold steps, and we take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a commitment to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool.
