Build and nurture relationships with key customer stakeholders and operational service owners to define and prioritize the strategic alignment between SLED customer objectives and Zscaler goals
Offer technical guidance, product insights, and best practices to develop customized strategies for the integration and operationalization of Zscaler solutions

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 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.
