Zenity is the leader in AI Agent Security, helping enterprises secure and govern AI agents across their environments. Backed by M12 and other leading investors, Zenity is building the category for secure enterprise adoption of AI-powered workflows and automation.

As we continue to grow globally, Japan is an important strategic market for us. We are looking for a senior customer success leader in Japan who can partner closely with enterprise customers, represent Zenity with credibility, and help shape how we build long-term customer success in the region.

The Role We are hiring a Strategic Technical Customer Success Manager in Japan to support some of our most important enterprise customers. This is a senior, customer-facing role for someone who combines customer success leadership, technical depth, and strong stakeholder management.

You will serve as a trusted partner to customers navigating complex security, governance, and enterprise transformation priorities, while also working closely with Zenity’s global leadership, product, engineering, and go-to-market teams.

Why This Role Matters Our customers are adopting AI rapidly, but they are doing so carefully. In Japan, enterprise customers expect a high level of trust, consistency, technical reliability, and long-term partnership.
