DescriptionAbout the Role You'll own Zenity's global communications function end to end: media relationships and engagements, executive communications, and internal communications, corporate narrative, and social. You'll be the person who turns a technical, fast-moving security and AI story into coverage, credibility, and category leadership.
This is a builder's role at a company small enough that you'll set the strategy and stay close to the execution. You'll manage our internal communications function, direct PR agencies across markets, and work directly with founders and senior leaders who are already credible voices in AI security. The opportunity is to take that raw material and make Zenity unmissable in the conversations that matter.
What You'll Do:Media & Analyst Relations - Build and run Zenity's global media strategy across business, security, AI, and enterprise tech press
- Develop and maintain first-name relationships with the reporters, editors, and analysts who shape the AI security conversation
- Write the materials that drive coverage: pitches, press releases, bylines, talking points, briefing docs, and rapid-response commentary
- Run a rapid-response program tied to breaking news, emerging threats, and the agentic AI news cycle, coordinating fast-turn commentary with internal experts
- Manage PR agencies across global markets, holding them accountable to results
Corporate Narrative & Executive Communications- Own and evolve Zenity's core narrative and messaging framework as the category and product mature
- Build the external profiles of the CEO and senior leaders through bylines, keynotes, podcasts, speaking slots, and social presence
- Own internal and executive messaging so the company stays aligned and clear as it scales, managing the internal communications function and partner
- Counsel executives on messaging, positioning, and high-stakes moments with sound, independent judgment
Content & Social- Shape executive and corporate social strategy aligned to brand voice and comms goals
- Partner with product marketing on launch moments, ensuring message consistency from press release to analyst briefing to sales deck
- Drive visibility across owned and earned channels, including how Zenity shows up in AI-generated search
Measurement- Track coverage, share of voice, sentiment, and analyst positioning; turn it into insight and a sharper strategy
RequirementsWhat You've Done:- Spent 8+ years in media relations, PR, or corporate communications, with a meaningful stretch of it inside cybersecurity, you know how security buyers think, how the threat landscape moves, and how security and tech press actually operate
- Built and kept relationships with the reporters, editors, and analysts who cover security and enterprise tech, and used them to land high-impact coverage in top-tier outlets
- Translated technical AI material, including GenAI and agentic AI and the risks that come with it, into stories reporters and analysts wanted to run
- Ghostwritten for executives and made it sound like them, across bylines, keynotes, and posts
- Managed PR agencies and budgets, including internationally, and held them to results
- Managed or developed comms talent, or you're ready to take on a direct report
- Operated both strategic and fully hands-on in a fast-paced, remote environment
What We Look For At Zenity- Proven ability to build, not just maintain, systems, processes, or relationships
- Comfort operating in evolving, fast-moving environments where the playbook is still being written
- Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Ownership mindset with accountability for outcomes, not just activity
- Experience in high-growth or venture-backed environments
- Exposure to AI, security, or emerging technology ecosystems
Why This Role/Zenity- You own the whole narrative. Media, analysts, exec voice, internal, social, it's yours to architect, not a slice of someone else's plan.
- Direct line to credible founders. Our leaders are already respected voices in AI security. You're not manufacturing authority from nothing, you're amplifying people who have something to say.
- A category being written in real time. Most comms leaders spend careers defending share of voice in a crowded space. Here you're helping create the language the market will use.
- Microsoft-backed, Fortune 500-trusted, still early. The credibility of a later-stage company with the open canvas of a Series B.
