About Zafran

Zafran's agentic platform proves what attackers can exploit in your environment, then mobilizes your existing defenses to stop them. Backed by Sequoia and Menlo.

About the role

Lead Zafran's GSI strategy as the primary alliance motion, building relationships with practice leads at firms like Accenture, Deloitte, PwC, and KPMG, and converting them into co-sell pipeline.

  • Commercial instincts to structure partner agreements and co-sell frameworks from scratch
  • 0-to-1 builder mentality, strong cross-functional collaborator, and comfortable with Salesforce/PRM tooling

Zafran's Exposure Graph continuously maps every vulnerability across your hybrid environment, chains exploitability through real attack paths and proves 90% of “critical” vulnerabilities can’t actually reach you. It then neutralizes the real 10% using your...
