Job Description

Experian’s Digital Workplace team is looking for a Head of Campus Network to lead our global engineering and operations for Secure Service Edge (SSE) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). In this role, you’ll guide the evolution of our Zero Trust architecture, ensuring secure and seamless access for colleagues, partners, and applications across cloud and on‑prem environments.
