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.
We are seeking a high-caliber Director / Sr. Director P&C Communications & Cultural Narrative to join our People & Culture team at our Santa Clara headquarters.
In this role, you will lead an integrated P&C Communications and Creative team while serving as a strategic thought partner, executive communications leader, and change narrative strategist. You will shape how Zscaler’s people strategy, culture, and organizational priorities are translated into clear, compelling narratives across employee and candidate experiences. Partnering directly with senior P&C executives and leadership, you will help shape bold visions and complex organizational shifts into clear, inspiring, and transparent employee and external communications.
You operate with the strategic foresight of an executive advisor—understanding the downstream cause and effect of organizational messaging, calibrating tone to build trust, and fostering a strong sense of company culture across our global enterprise.
You are a "player-coach"—someone who can operate at the highest level of strategic advisory while remaining deeply involved in the daily craft of storytelling, messaging, and content creation.
What You'll Do
This role requires a balanced approach: you will operate as a high-level strategic architect, while simultaneously rolling up your sleeves to ensure the quality and execution of our narrative and creative output.
• Executive Messaging & Strategic Advisory: Serve as a trusted advisor to senior P&C leaders, coaching on tone calibration and crafting high-impact executive communications, all-hands presentations, leadership briefs, and organizational updates.
• Cause-and-Effect Impact Analysis: Evaluate major People & Culture initiatives (such as performance evolutions, organizational shifts, and policy updates) to anticipate employee sentiment, assess downstream impact, and proactively address risks.
• Change Communications Strategy: Shape the narrative, sequencing, audience messaging, channels, leader communications, and manager communication tools for complex organizational changes, partnering with program and change leads to support readiness and reinforcement.
• Cultural Narrative,
