About The Position

SecurityScorecard is seeking a sharp, self-directed communicator who can translate complex technical insights into compelling, executive-facing content. This role is for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategic storytelling, communications, and cybersecurity, and is comfortable questioning assumptions and bringing fresh ideas collaboratively. The ideal candidate will have experience in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, or PR and communications, and can develop content that resonates with both CISOs and practitioners.

Requirements

3+ years writing and producing content in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, another technical field, or cybersecurity journalism/PR/communications.
A portfolio that demonstrates the ability to write with both technical depth and clarity for executive and practitioner audiences.
Sharp editing skills and meticulous attention to detail.
Proven ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining consistent quality.
Working fluency in the threat landscape — threat actors, malware, vulnerabilities, MITRE ATT&CK, how attacks actually unfold — or strong PR/communications instincts with a demonstrated ability to get up to speed on technical subject matter fast (ideally both).
A knack for working with technical SMEs: interviewing them, asking sharp follow-up questions, and self-editing to a high standard with minimal oversight.
PR and communications savvy. You think about audience, angle, and distribution, not just prose quality.

Nice To Haves

Experience producing or managing webinar programs.
A track record that spans both worlds — genuine cybersecurity/threat intel depth and PR/communications instinct.
Proven track record of creating content that drives engagement and meaningful conversations.
Experience writing for both technical and executive audiences without losing either.
Comfort with rapid iteration, quick turnarounds, and shifting priorities.
Experience with multimedia content creation and executive communications programs.
Comfort querying datasets (SQL, Python, or Splunk) to identify anomalies or support threat research.
Familiarity with how security ratings, attack surface management, and third-party/supply-chain risk fit the threat picture.

Responsibilities

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.
Track the threat landscape and proactively pitch timely, relevant pieces tied to active campaigns, disclosures, and geopolitical events.
Develop webinar programs, propose angles and talking points, and post-produce programming.
Draft bylines, blogs, and other content to support broader campaigns and marketing initiatives.
Assist with content distribution and coordination across channels in partnership with the broader marketing team.
Maintain a publication calendar and shepherd pieces through review and fact-checking.
Enforce existing style standards so our brand reads as one credible voice across content.
