We're looking for someone who questions assumptions and brings fresh ideas, yet collaborates respectfully without ego. This is not a passive role. Whether your background is in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, or PR and communications, we need a sharp, self-directed communicator who can translate complex technical insights into compelling, executive-facing content that resonates with CISOs and practitioners alike. If you thrive at the intersection of strategic storytelling, communications, and cybersecurity, this role was built for you.

• 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
