We're looking for a critical thinker with strong writing and communication skills, deep B2B/SaaS/Security product knowledge, a wide network of relationships across traditional and new media, excitement to experiment with AI, and a passion for pioneering the future of trust.

Responsibilities

• Drive the execution of our external communications strategy in partnership with internal stakeholders including product and growth marketing, content, analyst relations, and leadership teams.
• Work closely with external PR agency partners to craft and execute our communications strategy focusing on global top-tier business, tech, and security media across traditional and new (Substack, podcasts, influencers) media.
