  • Collaborate with Infrastructure, Security Operations, and IT Support teams to ensure smooth user adoption and minimal business disruption.
  • Develop and maintain documentation of Zscaler configurations, onboarding processes, and troubleshooting playbooks.

Required Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated ability to resolve Zscaler onboarding and adoption issues in large enterprise environments.
  • Proficiency in integrating Zscaler with identity and access management solutions (Azure AD, MFA) and endpoint/device management platforms (Intune, JAMF).
  • 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:

  • Prior experience in temporary/contract roles requiring rapid onboarding and immediate impact.
