The role involves developing compelling content that translates complex technical insights into narratives for various audiences, while collaborating closely with the threat intelligence team and marketing department.
Responsibilities
- Develop and shepherd threat intelligence content in partnership with threat intelligence team members, including advisories, threat briefs, deep-dive research reports, blogs, executive summaries, and social content
- Translate technical findings — IOCs, TTPs, exposures, and emerging attack trends — into narratives tuned to various audiences, from practitioner to board
- Track the threat landscape and proactively pitch timely, relevant pieces tied to active campaigns, disclosures, and geopolitical events
- Develop webinar programs, propose angles and talking points, and post-produce programming
- Draft bylines, blogs, and other content to support broader campaigns and marketing initiatives
- Assist with content distribution and coordination across channels in partnership with the broader marketing team
- Maintain a publication calendar and shepherd pieces through review and fact-checking
- Enforce existing style standards so our brand reads as one credible voice across content
Skills
- 3+ years writing and producing content in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, another technical field, or cybersecurity journalism/PR/communications
- We're flexible on which background you bring, roughly in this order of fit: Cybersecurity or threat intelligence experience paired with strong writing, editing, and PR/communications chops; A cybersecurity background with some PR/comms exposure or clear interest in building it, or a PR/comms/journalism background with experience covering technical or security-adjacent subject matter; Cybersecurity expertise without PR/comms experience, or PR/comms expertise without a technical background, if you have an appetite for both
- A portfolio that demonstrates the ability to write with both technical depth and clarity for executive and practitioner audiences
- Sharp editing skills and meticulous attention to detail
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining consistent quality
- Experience producing or managing webinar programs preferred
- Either (a) working fluency in the threat landscape — threat actors, malware, vulnerabilities, MITRE ATT&CK, how attacks actually unfold — or (b) strong PR/communications instincts with a demonstrated ability to get up to speed on technical subject matter fast (ideally both)
- A knack for working with technical SMEs: interviewing them, asking sharp follow-up questions, and self-editing to a high standard with minimal oversight
- PR and communications savvy. You think about audience, angle, and distribution, not just prose quality
- A track record that spans both worlds — genuine cybersecurity/threat intel depth and PR/communications instinct
- Proven track record of creating content that drives engagement and meaningful conversations
- Experience writing for both technical and executive audiences without losing either
- Comfort with rapid iteration, quick turnarounds, and shifting priorities
- Experience with multimedia content creation and executive communications programs
- Comfort querying datasets (SQL, Python, or Splunk) to identify anomalies or support threat research
- Familiarity with how security ratings, attack surface management, and third-party/supply-chain risk fit the threat picture
