Role

We are looking for a Principal Program Manager to join our team. This is a Remote role in the Customer Success PMO & Systems department. As a Principal Program Manager, you will serve as the connective tissue between strategy and execution, leading cross-functional strategic programs across Professional Services, Technical Success, and Support to improve customer outcomes, operational performance, and business impact.

What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

  • Lead end-to-end strategic programs from planning to execution for complex multi-workstream Customer Success initiatives
  • Drive accountability across distributed teams to establish program charters, success metrics, milestones, and governance frameworks that keep complex programs on track from kickoff through delivery enablement
  • Ensure clear ownership, timelines, and commitments across cross-functional teams to reliably meet organizational goals
  • Apply rigorous critical thinking and data-driven analysis to diagnose program health, surface and manage risks, and recommend evidence-backed course corrections
  • Create and drive program charters, RACI, success metrics/OKRs, milestones, and executive readouts to keep decisions unblocked and progress visible

Who You Are (Success Profile)

  • You thrive in ambiguity by comfortably building the path as you walk it, viewing unstructured environments as the raw material to build something meaningful.
  • You act like an owner with a strong bias for action, navigating seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
  • You are a high-trust collaborator who embraces a challenge culture with clear, respectful feedback to build trust and elevate team performance.
  • You champion simplicity by distilling complex technical concepts, user needs, and cross-functional friction into actionable, focused plans.
  • You are data-driven, leveraging analytics and evidence over assumptions to evaluate program health and guide smart decisions.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

  • 8+ years of experience in program management, business operations, Customer Success/Services operations, or related roles
  • Demonstrated success leading complex, cross-functional, multi-workstream programs spanning multiple quarters from planning through execution and operational adoption
  • Proven ability to establish and run program governance, including program charters, success metrics/KPIs, milestone plans, operating cadence, and risk/dependency management
  • Strong executive exposure and partnership, with experience supporting Director/VP/SVP stakeholders through clear problem framing, tradeoffs, decision facilitation, and executive-ready status reporting
  • Strong analytical rigor and critical thinking skills, with a track record of using data to assess program health and recommend evidence-based course corrections
  • Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Experience operating within a high-growth SaaS enterprise environment across Customer Success, Professional Services, and Technical Support ecosystems
  • Professional program management or change management certifications such as PMP, PgMP, or Prosci
  • Hands-on experience implementing enterprise software platforms or Customer Success tooling to automate governance and reporting

Zscaler is a cloud security company that created the 'Zero Trust Exchange.' Before Zscaler, companies used to buy expensive hardware firewalls to protect their offices (the 'castle and moat' approach). But now that employees work from home and apps are in the cloud (like Salesforce, Office 365), that old model doesn't work. Zscaler moved the entire security stack to the cloud. Instead of connecting to your office network via a slow VPN, you connect to the Zscaler cloud, which inspects your traffic instantly and securely connects you to the specific app you need—without ever placing you on the corporate network.

Safety First

  • Never pay for a job application.
  • Do not share sensitive bank info.
  • Verify the client before starting work.
