Zhang was born in Yuncheng County, Shandong, in May 1965, and graduated from Capital Normal University.[3] He entered the workforce in July 1984, and joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in September 1987. He worked in the Organization Department of the CCP Shandong Provincial Committee for a long time.[3]

Zhang was promoted to deputy head of the Organization Department of the CCP Beijing Municipal Committee in January 2018.[3] In May 2015 he was promoted again to become executive deputy head.[3]

In March 2016, Zhang was transferred to the Organization Department of the Chinese Communist Party, and over a period of two years years worked his way up to the position of deputy head.[3]

In December 2020, Zhang was appointed deputy head of the Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party.[4][5]

On 21 June 2024, Zhang was put under investigation for alleged "serious violations of discipline and laws" by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the party's internal disciplinary body, and the National Supervisory Commission, the highest anti-corruption agency of China.[6]
