Found in: Jooble US O C2 - 2 weeks ago


Georgia Chittenden County VT, United States Zscaler Full time

As a leader of Transformation Architects, you will bring the right mix of technical, sales and business acumen delivered with empathy, creative problem solving and grit.

The Transformation Architect organization connects with many stakeholders, requiring that our teams lead and engage sideways within the hierarchy, not just up and down.

A Zscaler Transformation Architect is a Director level individual contributor and an industry expert who advises, encourages, challenges customers and prospects to evolve their cybersecurity architecture from one based on legacy Network and Perimeter architectures to one based on Zero Trust Architecture design principles leveraging the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange (ZTE).

The ideal candidate will have a similar background to that of Transformation Architects, but with the additional abilities required to be a formal people leader, a coach / mentor to those around you and a trusted advisor to senior leadership.

More information on the team(s) you will lead is below. Their success is your success.

Zscaler Transformation Architects help our customers Secure, Simplify and Transform. Examples of related topics are…

  • Security & Network Transformation
  • Application and Infrastructure Modernization
  • The Modern Workplace with hybrid working

The Transformation Architect is primarily a pre-sales role that will facilitate consultative discovery and design workshops meant to uncover a customer’s business requirements and their current-state architecture. The information uncovered is used to design a high-level Zero Trust Architecture including a phased adoption roadmap expressing how the customer can transform to a Zero Trust Architecture future-state over time.

The Transformation Architect needs to engage across customer functional teams, as well as Zscaler partner and internal teams, to develop rapport and to ensure success. Interactions will range across the customer organizational structure from customer engineer to customer executive.

These efforts require a collaborative, seasoned industry professional who can code-switch seamlessly between CXO and IT Operations audiences . The candidate should convey and be able to balance a combination of executive presence and deep technical credibility. The ability to adopt a confident, yet consultative customer facing persona is key. Think of “executive presence” plus humility.

Successful candidates typically have 15+ years of relevant industry experience, or 10+ years of experience and an advanced degree in domains such as Networking and Cybersecurity, and hold or have held advanced relevant industry certifications.
