Experian’s Digital Workplace team is looking for a Head of Campus Network to lead our global engineering and operations for Secure Service Edge (SSE) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). In this role, you’ll guide the evolution of our Zero Trust architecture, ensuring secure and seamless access for colleagues, partners, and applications across cloud and on‑prem environments.

You’ll champion our move from legacy VPN to modern ZTNA, improving segmentation, strengthening access controls, and reducing risk. You’ll shape global standards for traffic steering, client deployments, TLS inspection, and identity integration, while also acting as our wireless networking expert.

You’ll also advance automation through Infrastructure‑as‑Code and API‑driven approaches to create consistent, scalable, and efficient operations. Collaboration will be central—partnering with Identity, Cloud, Network, Endpoint, and SOC teams to ensure secure, integrated, end‑to‑end visibility across our ecosystem.

This is a hybrid, London-based role (40% working in office) reporting to the VP for Digital Workplace Operations NA, India and APAC
