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.

About the Role

We are looking for a Product Sales Account Executive to join our Sales and Go-to-Market team. This role can be based in any major city in the Northeast, reporting to the Regional Director - Data Security. You will support the enterprise segment, acting as the primary specialist to drive revenue growth within the data security product suite, including DLP, CASB, and DSPM. You will lead the charge in demonstrating the power of cloud transformation to cement our position as a global leader in cloud security.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

Serve as the primary specialist for customers, partners, and internal teams to drive revenue growth across the data security product portfolio
Partner with domain-expert solution engineers to capture customer requirements and craft compelling value propositions that close complex business deals

Collaborate synergistically with primary sales teams and leadership to ensure a unified and effective Zscaler presence in the market
Engage stakeholders across the organization, selling effectively to both C-suite executives and technical practitioners

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.

Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
Progressive experience engaging with and selling to accounts at the C-level
Demonstrated expertise and practical experience with value-based selling methodologies
