About Zscaler

Zscaler accelerates digital transformation to ensure our customers can be more agile, efficient, resilient, and secure. As an AI-forward enterprise, we are constantly pushing the envelope, leveraging the world’s largest security data lake to power our cloud-native Zero Trust Exchange platform. This innovation protects our customers from cyberattacks and data loss by securely connecting users, devices, and applications in any location.

Here, impact in your role matters more than title and trust is built on results. We say, impact over activity. We seek innovators who actively use AI to amplify their impact and who thrive in an environment where we leverage intelligent systems to stay ahead of evolving threats. We believe in transparency and value constructive, honest debate—we’re focused on getting to the best ideas, faster. We build high-performing teams that can make an impact quickly and with high quality. To do this, we are building a culture of execution centered on customer obsession, collaboration, ownership, and accountability.

We value high-impact, high-accountability with a sense of urgency where you’re enabled to do your best work and embrace your potential. If you’re driven by purpose, thrive on solving complex challenges, and want to be part of the team that’s helping to secure the AI age, we invite you to bring your talents to Zscaler and help shape the future of cybersecurity.

Role 

We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to join our Product Management team. This is a hybrid role based in San Jose, CA, reporting to the VP, Product Management. Join us to make your mark on the planning and product roadmap at the forefront of the world’s cloud security leader. You will deliver a growing portfolio of never-before-seen capabilities in threat prevention, visibility, and scalability as a champion of innovation with a shared vision for the limitless possibilities of cloud security.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

  • Create the strategy and product roadmap for Workflow Automation to support DLP growth and innovation
  • Build strong cross-functional partnerships with Engineering and lead delivery of critical functionality for Zscaler Workflows Automation (ZWA)
  • Develop and execute the strategy for Email DLP, ensuring alignment with customer needs and security best practices
  • Partner with customers to refine and deliver impactful DLP features that power our $200M+ ARR business

Who You Are (Success Profile)

  • You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
  • You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
  • You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
  • You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
  • You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

  • 10+ years of product management experience, with substantial expertise in Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
  • Demonstrated deep experience and market knowledge in data security, especially DLP
  • Track record of building effective cross-functional relationships, especially with engineering teams
  • Experience working directly with customers on security feature requirements and feedback
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field and ability to travel monthly to headquarters in the USA
