Technical Customer Success Manager

Description

About the Role & Hiring Manager

I joined Zenity because it’s tackling a new and complex security challenge that enterprises are just beginning to face, securing AI agents everywhere, fast and at scale. It was also an opportunity to help shape how customer success operates in a category defining company while working alongside a highly capable and ambitious team.

As a leader, I value ownership, direct feedback, and high standards. Our team operates with urgency and accountability, and I expect real ownership of customer outcomes, proactive communication, and a strong focus on delivering measurable impact for our customers.

This role plays a critical part in our next phase of growth. You’ll serve as the strategic technical lead for our most complex enterprise customers, owning executive engagement, technical orchestration, and cross-organizational coordination, directly influencing how large enterprises secure and govern AI agents.

This is a US based remote role supporting customers on the West Coast. The role requires flexibility to accommodate meetings across multiple U.S. time zones when needed and includes approximately 20–30% travel for customer on-site engagements and strategic meetings.
