We are looking for a Security-Compliance Program Manager to join our team in a remote role reporting to the Director, Global Security-Compliance Practice.
This is not a back-office audit job; you'll be in front of customers, in deals, and on stage helping customers navigate compliance frameworks like Zero Trust, GDPR, NIST, PCI, and HIPAA.

Represent the practice directly with customers through calls, webinars, and conferences, while clearly communicating how compliance helps accelerate deals instead of slowing them down
Map compliance frameworks to Zscaler capabilities control by control, using published methodology and clear labels for what we meet, partially meet, support, or leave to the customer
Build reusable playbooks and assets from deal-based learnings so the broader field can respond faster and more consistently next time
Educate SEs and AEs to handle routine compliance conversations themselves, while keeping data security at the center of every discussion so requirements stay tied to protecting customer data
Act as a security-compliance first responder, completing vendor security questionnaires and customer assessments accurately, quickly, and without overclaiming, while assembling the evidence and documentation needed to support responses

Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain
Zscaler product understanding or the ability to build it fast, enabling you to know what the platform actually does before saying what it satisfies
Global compliance fluency, including working knowledge of major frameworks (such as NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, DORA, GDPR, or regional equivalents) and the ability to pick up new ones quickly
Comprehensive understanding of security, data security, and compliance, including how security architecture works, how data is protected in motion and at rest, and how compliance frameworks formalize both
The ability to translate perspectives: technology to compliance, compliance to business, and business to sales
Field credibility with experience working with or in sales or customer-facing teams, and a bias to execute to deliver good answers quickly instead of waiting for perfection

Proven ability to leverage AI technologies and workflows to drive measurable operational efficiency
Compliance or security certifications (CISSP, CCSP, ISO 27001 LA, CCP, CCA, or similar)
Experience in federal, SLED, healthcare, or other regulated industries, with eligibility for a US security clearance being a plus
Experience presenting at industry events or building enablement content
