The opportunity
In a rapidly changing technology, data, privacy, and cybersecurity landscape, clients across industries look to us for trusted guidance on designing secure, resilient, and well-governed zero trust environments. As a Manager within the Data Protection and Privacy team, you will serve as a Zscaler Architect and engagement leader with broad expertise across secure access service edge, zero trust network access, secure internet access, cloud and branch security, digital experience, and data protection. Zscaler experience is required, and the role is intended for an overall architect who can connect the Zscaler platform with identity, endpoint, network, cloud, security operations, data governance, and relevant third-party technologies.
The Manager is expected to own end-to-end solution architecture for defined engagements, establish cross-platform design direction, manage multidisciplinary delivery teams, oversee quality and financial performance, develop trusted client relationships, and contribute to business development. You will help clients translate business, security, privacy, legal, regulatory, and technology requirements into integrated zero trust strategies, target-state architectures, roadmaps, governance models, and implementation programs.
Your key responsibilities
As a Manager on the Data Protection and Privacy team, your key responsibilities would include:
- Lead Zscaler security and data protection engagements from discovery and solution shaping through architecture, implementation oversight, testing, deployment, operational transition, and benefits realization.
- Own end-to-end solution architecture across the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, including Zscaler Internet Access, Zscaler Private Access, Zscaler Digital Experience, Zscaler Client Connector, cloud security, branch security, workload security, and related data protection capabilities.
- Design secure internet and SaaS access architectures, including secure web gateway, cloud access security broker, cloud firewall, sandboxing, SSL inspection, browser isolation, advanced threat protection, and policy enforcement patterns.
- Design zero trust private application access architectures, including application segmentation, access policies, App Connector placement, private service edge considerations, third-party access, privileged remote access, and migration from legacy VPN approaches.
- Incorporate data protection capabilities into broader zero trust architectures, including data discovery, classification, cloud DLP, SaaS security, inline inspection, policy design, incident workflows, and control integration.
- Develop integrated zero trust, secure access, data protection, cloud, branch, workload, identity, endpoint, and digital experience strategies aligned with business objectives and regulatory obligations.
- Lead enterprise security assessments, architecture reviews, maturity assessments, control gap analyses, roadmaps, target operating models, governance frameworks, and transformation programs.
- Facilitate executive and working-level workshops across security, privacy, legal, compliance, network, infrastructure, cloud, identity, endpoint, application, data governance, security operations, audit, and business stakeholders.
- Translate requirements into target-state architectures, traffic-flow designs, policy models, integration requirements, migration waves, implementation plans, testing approaches, operational procedures, and measurable outcomes.
- Establish architecture principles, reference patterns, configuration standards, decision records, integration requirements, and quality criteria for Zscaler-based enterprise solutions.
- Design and oversee integrations with identity providers, endpoint and device management platforms, SIEM and SOAR technologies, IT service management tools, network infrastructure, cloud platforms, data security tools, and other third-party controls.
- Manage engagement scope, workplans, staffing, budgets, risks, dependencies, quality reviews, executive reporting, and coordination with client and firm leadership.
- Provide architecture direction and coaching to Senior and junior resources, review technical deliverables, resolve cross-platform design issues, and escalate material risks when appropriate.
- Build trusted client relationships, identify opportunities to extend value, support proposals and statements of work, contribute to solution pricing and estimation, and participate in account development.
- Develop reusable architecture methods, reference designs, accelerators, points of view, and thought leadership while maintaining awareness of Zscaler platform developments and emerging zero trust, cloud, data, and AI security risks.

- Strong client leadership and executive communication skills, with the ability to explain complex zero trust, secure access, network, cloud, data protection, and security architecture topics in business and technical terms.
- Demonstrated architecture judgment across the Zscaler ecosystem, including the ability to define trust boundaries, traffic flows, dependencies, integration patterns, policy ownership, and control responsibilities.
- Strong Zscaler platform knowledge and the ability to position its capabilities within broader enterprise security, network, cloud, identity, endpoint, and data architectures.
- Ability to lead ambiguous and complex engagements, establish a structured architecture approach, make design decisions, document tradeoffs, and drive issues to resolution.
- Ability to align platform capabilities with business, legal, privacy, regulatory, security, data governance, and operational requirements.
- Ability to manage the creation, review, and delivery of high-quality strategies, roadmaps, architectures, operating models, reports, presentations, and implementation guidance.
- Strong project and program management discipline, including scope, staffing, financial management, quality, risks, dependencies, and stakeholder expectations.
- Ability to lead culturally diverse, cross-functional, and geographically dispersed teams and mentor professionals at multiple levels.
- Commercial awareness and the ability to support opportunity qualification, solution shaping, estimation, proposal development, and client presentations.
- Commitment to service quality, professional integrity, collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.

- Experience developing policy and architecture for secure web gateway, zero trust network access, cloud access security broker, cloud firewall, SSL inspection, threat protection, application segmentation, and data loss prevention use cases.
- Experience leading requirements, architecture, design, integration, configuration oversight, testing, migration, deployment, and operating model activities for enterprise Zscaler solutions.

- Experience with architecture methods and deliverables such as capability models, current- and target-state diagrams, traffic-flow diagrams, reference architectures, control mappings, design decision records, migration roadmaps, and transition architectures.
- Strong PowerPoint and architecture diagramming skills, including the ability to communicate complex cross-platform concepts to executive, business, and technical audiences.

Search Project Consultant Jobs in WashingtonProject Consultant Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for project consultants in Washington?
The largest sponsors of project consultant roles in Washington include Microsoft, Amazon, Accenture, Deloitte, and Boeing, all of which have established international hiring programs and dedicated immigration support. Mid-size technology firms and management consulting firms in the greater Seattle area also sponsor regularly, particularly for consultants with technical, cloud, or enterprise systems expertise.
Which visa types are most common for project consultant roles in Washington?
The H-1B visa is the most common visa for project consultants in Washington, as most roles require a relevant bachelor's degree or higher and qualify as specialty occupations. The L-1B (intraspecialist knowledge transfer) is also used when consultants transfer from a foreign affiliate of a Washington-based employer. Australian citizens may qualify for the E-3 visa, and Canadian and Mexican nationals may pursue TN visa status where the role meets applicable criteria.
Which cities in Washington have the most project consultant sponsorship jobs?
Seattle accounts for the majority of project consultant sponsorship activity in Washington, driven by its concentration of technology firms, professional services offices, and corporate headquarters. Bellevue and Redmond are also significant, particularly for Microsoft-related consulting roles. Tacoma and Spokane have smaller but active markets, primarily in healthcare consulting and public-sector project work.
How to find project consultant visa sponsorship jobs in Washington?
Migrate Mate is the most focused platform for finding project consultant roles in Washington that include visa sponsorship. Unlike general job boards, Migrate Mate filters specifically for employers open to sponsoring international candidates, so you can search by role and state without having to manually screen each listing. It is particularly useful for project consultants targeting the Seattle and Bellevue technology and consulting corridors.
Are there any Washington-specific factors that affect visa sponsorship for project consultants?
Washington's high concentration of tech and aerospace employers means prevailing wage requirements for project consultant H-1B petitions are calculated against a competitive local labor market, which can raise the wage floor compared to other states. The University of Washington and Washington State University also produce strong OPT pipelines, meaning employers in the state are generally experienced with international hiring processes and visa transitions for early-career consultants.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored project consultant jobs in Washington?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
