The Role

The Product Manager Intern, ZPA will support the strategic growth and development of the Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) platform, focusing on specific feature sets related to application access and user experience. This role involves analyzing market data, gathering user feedback, and translating complex security capabilities into prioritized product requirements. You will directly impact the feature roadmap and adoption of our Zero Trust platform by ensuring alignment between customer needs, engineering effort, and business goals.

What You’ll Do (Role Expectations)

  • Cross-Functional Readiness & Execution: Collaborate with Engineering and other teams (UX, Go-to-Market) to ensure features are defined, developed, and launched successfully, managing timelines and clarifying technical requirements throughout the sprint cycle.
  • Performance Metrics and Reporting: Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) for recently launched ZPA features (e.g., adoption rate, usage frequency) to measure success and provide data-backed recommendations for iteration or retirement.
  • Product Requirements Support: Assist in gathering, analyzing, and documenting detailed product requirements and user stories for specific ZPA feature enhancements, ensuring they are clearly prioritized based on business value and customer impact.

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. You adapt to what’s needed, navigating seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
  • You are a problem-solver. You seek out challenges because you are energized by finding solutions, 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.
  • You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and never stop developing yourself, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate.

What We’re Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)

  • Actively pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related field requiring analytical problem-solving.
  • Demonstrated foundational understanding or strong interest in cybersecurity, network access principles, or the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) model.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical ideas into clear, concise business requirements and presentations.

What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Prior coursework or project experience related to networking fundamentals, identity management (IDP/SSO), or cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Familiarity with creating market-facing content, such as value propositions, feature summaries, or sales enablement materials, for technology products.
