About The Position

Zenity is a leader in AI Agent Security, providing a security platform for AI agents. As enterprises adopt AI agents, Zenity is establishing the security framework for their governance at enterprise scale. The company offers full-lifecycle visibility, governance, detection, prevention, and response for AI agents. Zenity has secured over $180M in funding and is trusted by Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises. This role is for a law student interested in hands-on experience within the legal function of a fast-growing AI cybersecurity company. The intern will work closely with the Director of Legal Counsel, gaining insight into how an in-house legal team manages risk, negotiates, organizes knowledge, and adopts new tools. The position is part-time, approximately 20 hours per week, structured around class schedules, starting as soon as possible and lasting for about three months.

Requirements

Currently pursuing a J.D. and have completed a bachelor's degree.
Strong legal research skills and can talk through how you approached a research question, not just what you found.
Excellent attention to detail, the kind that catches an inconsistent defined term or an ambiguous clause on a first read.
Can spot a potential legal issue and explain it clearly and concisely, without over-lawyering the explanation.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Organized enough to manage competing priorities and comfortable with a scope that shifts as business needs change.
Comfortable collaborating with people across a business, not just other lawyers.

Nice To Haves

Curiosity about how AI is changing legal work, and interest in testing new tools rather than defaulting to the familiar ones.
Interest in how legal operates inside a technology company, though no prior in-house, tech, cybersecurity, or commercial contracting experience is required.

Responsibilities

Draft, review, and redline commercial agreements, including NDAs and vendor agreements, and flag key terms, risk areas, and open issues for the legal team.
Help build a searchable repository of Zenity's existing agreements, and design a system for organizing them that actually gets used.
Evaluate and test AI tools for legal work, and give structured feedback on where they help, where they fall short, and where they're not accurate enough to trust yet.
Research legal questions across areas like privacy, employment, AI, and commercial and contract law, and turn what you find into clear, actionable takeaways.
Support improvements to legal workflows, documentation, and processes as the team identifies them.
Take on additional projects as priorities shift, with exposure to different parts of an in-house legal function.
