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.

Requirements

• Built a communications function and organization from the ground up at a startup, you've done the thing this role is asking for, not just run a function someone else built
• Spent 8+ years in media relations, PR, or corporate communications, with a meaningful stretch of it inside cybersecurity, you know how security buyers think, how the threat landscape moves, and how security and tech press actually operate
• Built and kept relationships with the reporters, editors, and analysts who cover security and enterprise tech, and used them to land high-impact coverage in top-tier outlets

• Managed PR agencies and budgets, including internationally, and held them to results
• Managed or developed comms talent, or you're ready to take on a direct report
• Operated both strategic and fully hands-on in a fast-paced, remote environment

What We Look For

• 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

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.
