At F5, we strive to bring a better digital world to life. Our teams empower organizations across the globe to create, secure, and run applications that enhance how we experience our evolving digital world. We are passionate about cybersecurity, application delivery, customer trust, and the role technology plays in helping businesses deliver fast, secure, and resilient digital experiences.

F5 is looking for a
** Senior Product and Innovation Communications Manager
** to help shape and drive external communications for some of the company’s most important security, product, innovation, and resilience narratives.

This role sits at the intersection of executive communications, cybersecurity storytelling, product and services positioning, customer trust, and strategic narrative development. The ideal candidate is a high-judgment communications leader and strong writer who can translate complex technical, security, and market shifts into clear, credible, customer-facing narratives for executive, CISO, practitioner, media, and industry audiences.

This is not a traditional content role. It requires someone who can operate strategically and independently with senior executives and cross-functional partners, connect technical topics to market relevance, and ensure F5’s external communications consistently ladder up to the company’s broader corporate narrative and business priorities.
** What You’ll Do
** As
** Senior Product and Innovation Communications Manager**, you will develop and execute external communications programs that strengthen F5’s voice in security, resiliency, product innovation, AI, customer trust, and application delivery.

You will:
* Lead strategic external communications for F5’s Security and Resiliency narrative, including thought leadership, executive visibility, customer trust, services evolution, and regulatory-adjacent topics.
* Develop executive communications for senior technical and business leaders across product, security, services, marketing, and customer-facing functions.
* Translate complex topics such as AI-accelerated risk, application security, application delivery, vulnerability management, resilience, customer trust, and services innovation into clear, credible narratives for external audiences.
* Create high-quality executive communications materials, including bylined articles, blogs, talking points, Linked In posts, keynote and session abstracts, media narratives, prep briefs, customer communications, and internal alignment documents.
* Partner with Product, Services, Legal, Public Affairs, Security, Marketing, and Communications stakeholders to ensure external narratives are accurate, aligned, and strategically useful.
* Help shape F5’s point of view on emerging cybersecurity and technology trends, with a focus on what matters most to CISOs, CIOs, technical decision-makers, and enterprise customers.
* Support issues management and customer trust communications related to security, vulnerabilities, regulatory-adjacent topics, and other sensitive external matters.
* Build strong relationships with executives and subject matter experts to identify timely, differentiated thought leadership opportunities.
* Ensure communications are aligned to F5’s corporate narrative, product strategy, market positioning, and broader go-to-market priorities.
* Bring strong editorial judgment to determine when, where, and how F5 should show up externally on priority topics.
