Global Communications Manager

About the Role 

You won't inherit a communications function. You'll build one.

You'll own Zenity's global communications end to end: media, executive and internal comms, corporate narrative, and social. But first you build the machine, the comms strategy, annual calendar, corporate moments, narrative priorities, and the cross-functional planning that keeps the whole company on one story.

Then you run it: turning a technical, fast-moving security and AI story into coverage, credibility, and category leadership. You'll set strategy and stay close to execution, manage internal comms, direct PR agencies, and work directly with founders who are already credible voices in AI security.

About Zenity

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.

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.
