Role
We are looking for a Product Marketing & Evangelist to join our team in Japan, reporting to the Director of Product Marketing in the Marketing department. You will drive awareness, adoption, and market leadership of our emerging solutions—including Data Security and AI Security—across the Japanese market. By bridging the gap between product management and sales, you'll build customer trust and establish Zscaler as the definitive leader in the Zero Trust space.

Develop localized messaging and go-to-market strategies tailored for Japan while creating high-impact sales collateral like case studies and whitepapers
Lead sales enablement by training partner teams through workshops and developing customer engagement tools based on direct field insights

Cultivate strong customer relationships to develop impactful advocacy stories and testimonials that highlight measurable business value
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.
