  • Account Manager
  • Systems Engineer
  • Field Engineer
  • Project Manager
  • Project Manager 2

Note: Role sharing guidelines for ATPs are unique and specific for each ATP program.

Persons filling roles must be employees and reside in the same Cisco theater where the ATP Partner is fulfilling the program requirements.
