Enterprise cybersecurity is broken. Current annual cybersecurity spending is roughly $150B, with most enterprises spending heavily to deploy, manage, and configure 100s of different tools for marginal security benefit. At Zip, our goal is to build software that makes enterprise cybersecurity reasonable – to reduce bloat by bundling and configuring opinionated security tooling, synchronizing everything from device management to application security under one central pane of glass.
Multiple companies with security offerings from Google to Jamf are now releasing APIs that allow automated management, and with new government efforts to publish data on the global security risk landscape, there’s a unique opportunity to be the first in the market to properly integrate and build a full-stack, opinionated, enterprise security company. At Zip, you’ll be at the cutting edge of security, working with some of the world’s most important companies to effortlessly secure their people, software, and data.
We want our employees learn, grow, and have career satisfaction
We want to create a successful company – but not at the cost of culture. At Zip, we value each other, and want to create a culture where our people are not only “working in a fast-paced, challenging, environment” but are also (and more importantly) happy, learning, and able to contribute. We value succeeding as a collective.
We are a high autonomy, high trust organization that prioritizes thoughtful communication
No one likes being micromanaged. At Zip, we value autonomy and trust our employees to get the job done. We add communication here to emphasize that high autonomy and high trust doesn’t mean no support. At Zip supporting our employees and creating a great culture is a top priority. Thoughtful communication in tandem with high ownership is key to not just building a successful culture, but also external collaboration with customers and internal teams.
We value transparency, equity, and empathy.
Honest, empathetic feedback is kind. It gives your co-workers the opportunity to grow and become the best versions of themselves. At Zip, we value frequent, well-structured, fair feedback – feedback that directly relates activities to outcomes, and allows us all to move forward together, better.
We want to move fast, be flexible, but not break things:
We’re a start-up: we need to move fast, and be able to pivot at a moment’s notice. But we don’t want to break things, and want to balance being fast with being thoughtful and intentional about how we build our software.
We value balance
Whether it’s work/life balance or moving fast/building right balance, understanding the tradeoffs in a start-up and making sure to strike the right balance is necessary. We continuously evaluate our decisions in a data-driven way, and aim to make sure we’re always getting better.
We assume best intentions
We're a team working together to make enterprise cybersecurity easy. We'll face hard problems together, and assuming best intentions of coworkers is of utmost importance to building a great culture.
You will be joining on the ground floor of our go-to-market development team. This role will include building and running go-to-market channels and have a direct impact on the company's growth. This role will start with a project to build out our channel + partner sales motion and will include (1) building relationships with partners in our industry, (2) building systems to reach and tracking of these channel relationships, and (3) empowering and enabling our partners to get our product in front of their customers. The right candidate for this role will be excited to execute and build this repeatable channel, then hire and onboard new Zipsters to do the same, while you begin to manage and scale new channels.
We’re looking for individuals that are high ownership, action oriented, and analytical. The right person for this role is at their best and excited by the challenges of an unstructured environment and problem space. You’re eager to learn, quick to come up with a “good enough” strategy, and think broadly about what good execution looks like. And, of course, you’ll be unsatisfied in an ivory tower of “strategy,” preferring to get your hands dirty and do the work.
The right candidate for this role will also enjoy speaking and building relationships with our partners.
Some orienting criteria:
2+ years of experience in the tech industry, ideally in partnership, sales, strategy or operational role
Exceptional business acumen, leadership and integrity
Very strong oral and written communication
A successful track record of defining and driving successful outcomes in fast paced, high performing environment
[Nice to have] Experience and relationships with IT + security channel partners
