From Zania's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Ex-Founder
Why Zania
Every enterprise spends millions of dollars on Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). It's one of the most critical, yet universally painful, parts of running a business. For decades, this industry has been dominated by legacy systems with notoriously low NPS scores, making it totally ripe for disruption.
Zania is building agentic AI for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) to solve this massive problem. We are on a rocketship trajectory, creating intelligent agents that automate and augment the most complex risk and compliance workflows. We have found exceptional product-market fit and are scaling our team very quickly. Some reasons to join Zania are:
Our customers are the most notable enterprises in the world, including FAANG, Big 4 firms, and a portfolio of top customers.
Funded by a leading Tier 1 venture capital fund, giving us the resources to build a generational company.
Zania is hiring the best. Our team includes AI and Security leaders from Airbnb, Microsoft, Bain & Company, Deloitte, PwC, Brex, and Instacart.
Our engineers and GRC experts work at the absolute forefront of applied AI, building the next generation of agentic systems that will define the future of compliance.
We have seen 10x ARR growth in the last year and are rapidly expanding.
You will be rewarded like an owner.
Role Overview
This isn’t a traditional corporate role. It’s a creative and operational challenge built for a battle-tested entrepreneur.
Zania is growing at a breakneck pace. We are looking for an ex-founder to act as a co-pilot to our founding team. We don’t want someone who needs a playbook; we want someone who has built the playbook from scratch before. You will operate as a true generalist and founder proxy—taking on our most critical 0-to-1 initiatives, driving aggressive growth experiments, and managing strategic investor relations.
If you are a former founder looking to join a deeply technical, hyper-growth rocketship and get your hands dirty building a generational company, this is your arena.
You have been in the driver's seat. You know what it takes to survive, pivot, and scale in highly ambiguous environments.
You don't wait for permission or perfectly outlined scopes. You find the biggest fire or the biggest opportunity and you own it.
You can debate high-level capital strategy with board members at 9:00 AM and manually scrape a lead list or format a customer proposal at 10:00 AM.
You have a ruthless ability to prioritize and an obsession with momentum.
You know the difference between a vanity metric and a lever that actually moves the needle for enterprise revenue.
