Director, Strategic Alliances

About The Role

This role owns our outbound strategic partnerships with major enterprise SaaS and platform players, manages inbound partnership requests, and builds a formal technology partner program. You will define the offering, structure the go‑to‑market motion, and bring it to market. Without a clear, demonstrable track record, this role may not be a fit.

Zenity is the leader in AI Agent Security and the first company to bring an agent‑centric security platform to market. We deliver full‑lifecycle visibility, governance, detection, prevention, and response for AI agents from buildtime to runtime across SaaS, home‑grown platforms, and end‑user devices. Backed by $55 M+ in funding, including a $38 M Series B with strategic investment from Microsoft’s M12, Zenity is trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises globally.

• Own outbound strategic alliances with enterprise platforms, Salesforce, Service Now, Oracle, Workday, Zendesk, NVIDIA, and others across the SaaS and data ecosystem
• Manage and triage inbound partnership requests, evaluate fit, prioritize, and build the right structures for each
• Build and scale a formal technology partner program from the ground up, including tiering, enablement, and co‑sell motions
• Define joint value propositions, structure offerings, and take partnerships to market, not just define them on paper
• Work cross‑functionally with Zenity's sales, marketing, and product teams to activate and expand partnerships
• Track and report on partner‑influenced and partner‑sourced pipeline, revenue impact, and program health

• Have a repeatable approach: you can walk through how you did it, why it worked, and what you'd do again
• Defined the offering, structured the partner framework, and executed a go‑to‑market motion successfully
• Have versatility across company sizes, ideally some combination of time at a large platform company and a startup
• Come from a cybersecurity, data, or AI background, you understand how security fits into the broader platform ecosystem
• Know what good looks like for partner‑sourced revenue and technology partner program maturity

• 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

• We have clearly defined alliances with 2‑3 major platforms, structured, intentional, with a real GTM motion behind each
• Inbound partnerships are being evaluated and handled systematically, not ad hoc
• A technology partner program exists with documented tiers, enablement resources, and co‑sell tracking
