Enterprise Account Executive

About the Role & Hiring Manager

I joined Zenity after spending years building enterprise sales teams in high-growth security environments. What drew me here is that we’re building in a space that’s fundamentally reshaping how AI is secured inside the enterprise.

As a leader, I’m hands-on and I expect a lot from my team. I value ownership, coachability, and strong EQ. I’m direct in my feedback and committed to developing people who want to keep raising their level. I’m looking for sellers who thrive in fast-paced environments, are comfortable selling technical products to executive audiences, and are motivated to grow as we scale.

This role plays a critical part in our next phase of growth. You’ll own a Fortune 1000–focused territory, building strategic relationships with CISOs and senior security leaders, and leading complex enterprise sales cycles that shape how large organizations secure AI agents.
