Partner Marketing Manager

Cybersecurity for growing businesses is broken. Even enterprises spend heavily across hundreds of disconnected tools for marginal real-world benefit. For startups and mid‑sized firms, this gap often means forgoing security entirely, or cobbling together a solution that leaves them vulnerable in other ways. At Zip Security, we build solutions that make enterprise cybersecurity effective and doable for growing businesses of all kinds, whether or not they have a security team in house.

Our product is a complete security program that automates device management, endpoint security, identity and access management, compliance, and managed IT and security operations to keep teams of all kinds protected. We help our customers pick their right security frameworks, correctly deploy the tools, policies, and controls they need, and keep everything enforced over time, so their business is protected and compliant, 24/7.

Zip is at the cutting edge of what's possible in cybersecurity, and dedicated to delivering value for our customers. It's a big part of why we're backed by Ballistic Ventures. Major platforms are opening APIs that enable automated management at scale, new government initiatives are surfacing global threat data, and we're positioned to be the first to properly integrate all of it.

We're looking for driven, talented people to help us get there. If this resonates with you, we invite you to consider building alongside our team.

Your north‑star metric is growth in high‑quality referrals from our partners

• A deep partnership with the largest cybersecurity company. Co‑branded programs and joint marketing initiatives that deepen our alliance with the industry’s leading cybersecurity platform.

• Programming that delivers value to our partners. Recurring partner fireside chats with vCISOs, security leaders, and customers, alongside intimate dinners, round tables, and scalable virtual events.

• Enablement that makes Zip easy to refer. The messaging, case studies, one‑pagers, presentations, email copy, and landing pages that make introductions effortless at exactly the moments an advisor should think of Zip.

• An onboarding and activation journey. The path that turns every newly signed partner into an engaged, productive one, plus the campaigns and proof points that help our SDR team source new partners.

• The measurement to know what drives referrals. Tracking that connects programs, events, and content to introductions and pipeline, and answers what separates a partner who knows Zip from one who consistently advocates for Zip.
