Partner Sales Manager

About the Role & Hiring Manager

I joined Zenity because of the opportunity to define a new security category at a pivotal moment in the market. Securing AI agents at enterprise scale is complex, high-impact work, and partnerships are central to how we win.

As a leader, I value ownership, strong points of view, and independent thinking. I operate hands-off and focus on building leaders, not managing tasks. I expect autonomy, initiative, and accountability. High standards matter here, performance and measurable impact are non-negotiable, paired with trust and real decision-making authority.

This role is critical to our next phase of growth. You will own and scale the partner ecosystem in the West, working closely with Regional Sales Directors to integrate partners into territory strategy and enterprise pursuits. You’ll represent Zenity with credibility across hyperscalers, GSIs, VARs, and customers, building repeatable partner motions that generate meaningful pipeline and revenue.

About Zenity

Zenity is the leader in AI Agent Security and the first company to bring an agent-centric security platform to market. As enterprises accelerate AI agent adoption, we are establishing the security framework for how AI agents are secured and governed at enterprise scale.

We deliver full-lifecycle visibility, governance, detection, prevention, and response for AI agents from build time to runtime, across SaaS, home-grown platforms, and end-user devices. Backed by $55M+ in funding, including a $38M Series B with strategic investment from Microsoft’s M12, Zenity is trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises globally.

Join us in shaping how AI agents are secured at enterprise scale.
