About Zafran

Zafran, a leader in Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), is seeking a dynamic Channel Manager to drive strategic partnerships with partners across the Western United States. This remote role focuses on accelerating revenue growth, expanding Zafran’s market presence, and empowering partners to deliver our AI-driven, Proactive Exposure Hunting™ solutions to proactively stop the exploitation of vulnerabilities. The Channel Manager will collaborate closely with Zafran’s sales, marketing, engineering, and product teams to align partner strategies with our mission to de-risk 90% of critical vulnerabilities for organizations worldwide.

Our Mission: To stop the exploitation of vulnerabilities, everywhere.

What makes us different: In a world where AI-enabled attackers weaponize vulnerabilities within minutes, the old scan-and-patch-everything model no longer holds. 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 compensating controls and safely remediates only where it matters.

Who’s behind us: Zafran is backed by Menlo Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, and a deep belief that cybersecurity should move as fast as attackers do. We’re one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry, scaling to meet demand from the world’s most advanced, security-obsessed organizations.

We’re serious about our mission- so expect work that matters, teammates who challenge and inspire you, and plenty of fun along the way!
