Role Overview

Are you ready to dismantle traditional, administrative HR and build the future of talent management?

We are seeking a visionary Head of Talent Agility to join our People & Culture team. Traditional job architecture and legacy talent designations and processes are too structured and plodding for the age of AI. At Zscaler, we are building an AI-Native P&C organization, and we need a disruptive leader to architect the talent operating system that brings our enterprise talent strategy to life.

In this role, you will architect a dynamic "talent operating system" focused on AI-powered inferred skills, self-directed career pathing, robust talent intelligence, and vibrant job marketplaces. You will champion a talent philosophy that is agile, technology-driven, and centered on uncovering emergent skillsets, and aspirations to enable seamless employee mobility, workforce agility, and next-generation succession planning.

Business Outcomes You Are Responsible For

Enterprise Talent Intelligence: Establish an actionable, dynamic view of enterprise talent and capabilities to identify and close critical skill gaps before they impact business velocity.
Talent Fluidity & Deployment: Create the intelligence and mechanisms that enable leaders and HRBPs to identify and deploy talent against the highest-priority business and capability needs.
Accelerated Internal Mobility: Significantly increase the percentage of roles filled internally by seamlessly matching employee skills and aspirations to open opportunities via the talent marketplace in partnership with Talent Acquisition and HRBPs.
Enhanced Retention & Engagement: Increase career growth and internal opportunity for high-performing and critical talent, contributing to stronger retention and engagement.
