Fractional Vulnerability Research and Threat Intelligence Editor

We are looking for an experienced Fractional Vulnerability Research and Threat Intelligence Editor to support our Labs team by editing and preparing cybersecurity vulnerability research for publication. This role is focused on refining highly technical research into clear, structured, and readable blog posts that align with the tone and quality of the watch

Towr Labs blog.

This is an ongoing, part-time engagement suited to a senior, specialised writer or editor with deep familiarity with security research content.

Our security researchers produce high-quality vulnerability and threat research, but we have a backlog of content waiting to be published. We are looking for someone experienced specifically in this type of material to clean up, structure, and polish research outputs for public release.

This is primarily an editing and editorial role, not a greenfield writing position.

On average, the role involves:

• Editing approximately one Labs blog post per week
• Around 5 - 6 hours per week

• Edit, structure, and refine vulnerability research and technical blog posts written by security researchers
• Ensure posts are clear, logically structured, and readable while preserving technical accuracy
• Replicate and maintain the tone, style, and quality of existing Labs blog posts
• Improve clarity, flow, and narrative without diluting technical depth
• Work with researchers to resolve ambiguity or improve explanations where required
• Manage light editorial workflow tasks such as tracked edits, versioning, and feedback loops.

A strong candidate is likely to have:

• A technical background in security, engineering, or adjacent fields,

• Meaningful role in a company - You will be a key and early contributor to a fast‑growing cybersecurity business that helps protect some of the world's largest enterprises.
• The best tools and powerful kit - we enable you with the tools to effectively fulfil your role.
