Role We are looking for a Sr. Product Marketing Manager – Zero Trust for Agentic AI to join our team. This is a hybrid role based in San Jose, reporting to the VP, Product Marketing – AI Security in the Marketing department. AI agents are no longer a concept — they are in production today, acting autonomously, accessing sensitive systems, and making decisions on behalf of the organizations that built them. The security industry has barely begun to catch up. As the Sr. PMM for Zero Trust for Agentic AI, you will help define how enterprises think about this problem — and why Zscaler is uniquely positioned to solve it. You will build the vocabulary, the narratives, and the go-to-market foundation for one of the most consequential emerging security challenges of our time. This role is for someone energized by ambiguity, obsessed with getting ahead of the curve, and bold enough to take a position before the market has made up its mind.
