Guide production from idea to publication for original vulnerability research, annual industry reports, and incidents (CVEs) to elevate our brand identity.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with product, engineering, security research, sales engineering and the broader marketing team to source ideas and contributions, translating technical expertise into engaging, accessible content that resonates with security professionals.

• Reporting: Own, measure, and report on content-related KPIs such as engagement metrics, traffic growth, and proactively share this knowledge with stakeholders to guide decision-making.

• Strong editorial instincts with proven ability to create content that resonates with both technical and business audiences.
