Enterprise Account Executive

Description

About the Role & Hiring Manager

I joined Zenity after building across multiple startups and growth stages throughout my career. Zenity stands out because there is clear market demand, strong partner routes to market, and a real opportunity to build in a space enterprises already recognize as critical. By securing AI Agents Everywhere, Zenity serves as an enabling technology for organizations that are transforming their businesses through the use of AI.

As a leader, I value builders, people who embrace greenfield opportunity, take ownership of their territory, executing with creativity and discipline. I'm looking for someone who can navigate complex enterprise buying groups and drive cross-functional sales with confidence. You should be comfortable leveraging your network, creating momentum in new accounts, and taking initiative to open new doors.

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.
