In a rapidly changing technology, data, privacy, and cybersecurity landscape, clients across industries look to us for trusted guidance on designing secure, resilient, and well-governed zero trust environments. As a Senior within the Data Protection and Privacy team, you will serve as a developing Zscaler Architect with experience across secure access service edge, zero trust network access, secure internet access, digital experience, and data protection.

Zscaler experience is required, and the role is intended for a senior consulting professional who can lead defined solution areas while supporting broader architecture across identity, endpoint, network, cloud, security operations, data governance, and relevant third-party technologies.

• Lead defined Zscaler security and data protection work streams, including discovery, requirements gathering, design, configuration guidance, testing, deployment planning, and operational transition.
• Design and support solutions across the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, with particular emphasis on Zscaler Internet Access, Zscaler Private Access, Zscaler Digital Experience, Zscaler Client Connector, and related data protection capabilities.
• Develop zero trust private application access designs covering application segmentation, access policies, App Connector placement, third-party access, privileged remote access, and migration from legacy VPN approaches.
• Incorporate data protection requirements into Zscaler designs, including cloud DLP, SaaS security, inline inspection, policy configuration, incident workflows, and integration with enterprise data protection controls.
• Support zero trust, secure access, data protection, cloud, branch, workload, identity, endpoint, and digital experience assessments, roadmaps, and architecture activities.
• Facilitate client workshops and stakeholder interviews across security, privacy, legal, compliance, network, infrastructure, cloud, identity, endpoint, application, data governance, and security operations teams.
• Translate requirements into architecture diagrams, traffic-flow designs, policy models, integration requirements, user stories, migration plans, test scenarios, operational procedures, and measurable outcomes.
• Create clear reference patterns, configuration standards, design decisions, executive presentations, and technical implementation guidance.
• Support integrations with identity providers, endpoint and device management platforms, SIEM and SOAR technologies, IT service management tools, network infrastructure, cloud platforms, data security tools, and other third-party controls.
• Track workstream scope, activities, risks, issues, dependencies, decisions, and status, escalating material concerns to engagement leadership when appropriate.
• Provide technical direction to junior resources, review work products for quality, and contribute to an inclusive and collaborative delivery environment.
• Support proposals, statements of work, estimates, demonstrations, and client presentations for Zscaler and zero trust opportunities.
• Develop reusable design artifacts and delivery accelerators while maintaining awareness of Zscaler platform developments and emerging zero trust, cloud, data, and AI security risks.

To thrive in this role, you will need a blend of consulting, architecture, technical, and business skills, together with the judgment to operate independently within a defined scope and seek senior architect guidance when appropriate.

• Strong understanding of zero trust, secure access, network security, cloud security, and data protection concepts.
• Practical experience designing or implementing Zscaler capabilities in an enterprise environment.
• Ability to understand trust boundaries, traffic flows, dependencies, integration patterns, policy requirements, and control responsibilities.
• Ability to connect Zscaler platform capabilities to business, legal, privacy, regulatory, security, and operational outcomes.
• Ability to lead discovery sessions, workshops, design discussions, demonstrations, and working sessions with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to create high-quality client deliverables, reports,…
