Description

About the Role & Hiring Manager

I co-created Zenity because we’re defining a new security category. Securing AI agents at enterprise scale is complex, high-impact work in a space that’s evolving quickly. The scope is significant, and the opportunity to shape it from the ground up is rare.

As a leader, I value ownership, direct feedback, and accountability. I move quickly and expect proactive communication. I appreciate thoughtful pushback and people who anticipate rather than react.

This role is a true partnership with the CEO. Operating as a core member of the Office of the CEO and reporting directly to the Chief of Staff, you’ll manage a split desk: roughly 50% dedicated to executive support and 50% focused on broader administrative and operational needs across the company. As we scale globally, how leadership operates will matter more than ever. You’ll directly shape that.


About Zenity

Zenity is the leader in AI Agent Security and the first company to bring an agent-centric security platform to market. As enterprises accelerate AI agent adoption, we are establishing the security framework for how AI agents are secured and governed at enterprise scale.

We deliver full-lifecycle visibility, governance, detection, prevention, and response for AI agents from build time to runtime, across SaaS, home-grown platforms, and end-user devices. Backed by $55M+ in funding, including a $38M Series B with strategic investment from Microsoft’s M12, Zenity is trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises globally.

Join us in shaping how AI agents are secured at enterprise scale.


What You’ll Do

  • Executive Coordination: Own a complex, fast-moving calendar across time zones. Manage international travel and remain adaptable to real-time changes. Protect the CEO’s time with intention and precision.
  • CEO Operational Support: Ensure every meeting is productive. Prepare clear briefs, track follow-ups, and keep communication tight and actionable.
  • Administrative Management: Run the operational backbone, expenses, reimbursements, and key administrative workflows, and improve them as we grow.
  • Leadership Enablement: Coordinate board preparation (in-time), recurring management meetings, and leadership off-sites. Ensure meetings are organized, productive, and followed through.
  • Global Collaboration: Partner closely with our co-founder’s EA in Israel. Manage cross-time-zone dependencies with proactive, clear communication.

Requirements

  • You’ve supported a CEO or founder in a fast-moving, high-growth company and understand the intensity that comes with it.
  • You have strong judgment and don’t need constant direction. You anticipate, prioritize, and execute.
  • You’re highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating without perfect structure.
  • You communicate clearly and directly, especially with senior leaders and have the ability to build trust across global teams.
  • You take ownership. If something falls through the cracks, you fix it.
  • Interest in technology; experience in AI or cybersecurity is a plus.
  • You are comfortable being in the NYC office 4 days a week, Monday through Thursday.
