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 Cybersecurity Risk Management Principal to join our team. This is a hybrid role, going in to the San Jose, CA office 3 days a week.  You'll be reporting to the Sr. Director, Enterprise Risk Management within the Security GRC department. You will serve as a technical leader and subject matter expert, conducting sophisticated risk assessments and maintaining the strategic risk register to protect our global infrastructure. You'll bridge the gap between deep technical adversary tactics and high-level business impact to drive remediation across the enterprise.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

  • Lead comprehensive cyber risk assessments using qualitative and quantitative methods, such as FAIR, to identify and articulate threats to business stakeholders

  • Build and maintain a dynamic cyber risk register, ensuring prioritized risks and mitigation strategies are tracked and socialized with executive leadership

  • Run the day-to-day operations for Security Policy Exceptions and Risk Acceptance processes to ensure compliance and balanced risk-taking

  • Partner with Internal Audit, Compliance, and Security teams to embed risk management frameworks deeply into the enterprise risk lifecycle

  • Apply the MITRE ATT&CK framework to analyze adversary techniques and translate that intelligence into actionable enhancements for the organization’s security posture

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.
