· Design and implement Zscaler configurations and integrations with identity (Azure AD, SAML, MFA) and endpoint management solutions (Intune, JAMF).

· Provide architectural recommendations and best practices for Zscaler deployments, while also implementing technical changes directly in the platform.

· Collaborate with Infrastructure, Security Operations, and End User Compute teams to ensure smooth user adoption and minimal business disruption.

· Perform detailed root cause analysis of recurring Zscaler-related incidents and implement sustainable solutions.

· Develop and maintain documentation of Zscaler configurations, onboarding processes, and troubleshooting playbooks.

· Advise leadership and project teams on Zero Trust principles and Zscaler’s role in the enterprise security strategy.

· Solid understanding of network protocols (DNS, TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, VPN) and security fundamentals.

· Proven ability to balance architectural design with hands-on troubleshooting and engineering execution.

· Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, able to interface with both technical teams and business leaders.

Preferred Qualifications
