Key responsibilities include: serving as a trusted advisor to P&C leadership on executive messaging and tone calibration for all-hands presentations, leadership briefs, and organizational updates; conducting cause-and-effect impact analysis on major people initiatives (performance evolutions, organizational shifts, policy updates) to anticipate employee sentiment and mitigate risks; designing and executing change communication strategies for complex organizational transformations, including narrative sequencing, audience messaging, channel strategy, and manager enablement tools; developing and stewarding a cohesive cultural narrative that connects Zscaler's people strategy, ways of working, and employee experience through communications, visual design, video, and multimedia; collaborating cross-functionally with Corporate Communications, Marketing, and Executive Leadership to align internal and external messaging; and establishing measurement frameworks to assess communication effectiveness, sentiment, and message retention.

You will work with the world's largest security data lake and cloud-native Zero Trust Exchange platform, supporting an AI-forward enterprise culture centered on customer obsession, collaboration, ownership, and accountability.
