This position requires strong technical execution as well as the ability to translate complex security topics into clear recommendations, implementation plans, change requests, operating procedures, and leadership briefings.

• Experience implementing production changes through documented testing, approvals, rollback planning, validation, and change control.
• Experience with REST APIs and scripting languages such as Python or PowerShell.
• Excellent communication skills to internal and external stakeholders – ability to adjust messaging to a variety of audiences (client leadership, technical staff, team members etc.).
• Consultative mindset and ability to map solutions against client challenges.
• BA/BS degree or equivalent experience.
• Must be a US Citizen and able to obtain a US Government security clearance/public trust.

Requirements

• Lead and support the implementation of Zero Trust security controls, with primary responsibility for Zscaler and its integration with enterprise network, identity, device, application, data, and visibility capabilities.
• Support network segmentation and Zero Trust access strategies by configuring and integrating ZPA, ZIA, Client Connector, Cloud Firewall, Branch Connector, and related network-security controls.
• Conduct thorough risk assessments, identify vulnerabilities, and develop proactive strategies to mitigate risks in line with Zero Trust principles across network and data domains.
• Review proposed architectures, integrations, designs, and change requests for alignment with federal requirements, Zero Trust principles and the approved enterprise security architecture.
• Administer and optimize ZIA, ZPA, ZDX, Zidentity, Client Connector, Sandbox, SSL Inspection, Cloud Firewall, URL Filtering, and related Zscaler services.
• Review existing Zscaler configurations against vendor-recommended and DHS/HQ baselines; document deviations, risks, and remediation recommendations.
• Design and implement Zscaler policies for web access, application access, traffic forwarding, SSL/TLS inspection, sandboxing, threat protection, file handling, and user/device-based controls.
• Analyze rule order, policy dependencies, bypasses, exclusions, and catch-all behavior to safely integrate new requirements into existing production configurations.
• Develop and execute phased implementation, testing, rollback, and validation plans for Zscaler changes that may affect user access or production traffic.
• Troubleshoot Zscaler service issues involving Client Connector, authentication, traffic forwarding, application access, policy enforcement, certificates, SSL inspection, and integrations.
• Align Zscaler deployments with the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model and organizational Zero Trust strategies.
• Integrate Zscaler with endpoint security, vulnerability management, infrastructure monitoring, identity, SIEM/SOAR, and ITSM platforms, including CrowdStrike, Tripwire, Qualys, ScienceLogic, Splunk, ServiceNow/HEAT, Active Directory, and Microsoft Entra ID, as applicable.

• Participate in security reviews, identify gaps in security architecture, and develop a security risk management plan.
• Advise stakeholders on best practices for security modernization, cloud migration, and risk reduction.
