- Uphold voice and tone in every piece of content
- Collaborate with product marketing, demand generation, social media, customer marketing, events, brand, creative, localization, and web experience as key stakeholders
- Craft derivative content to help meet the needs of niche audiences across global and industries
- Meet fast-paced deadlines
Required Skills & Experience
- 5+ years of experience in content marketing, journalism, or professional writing/editing at a tech company (or within a similar fast-paced industry)
- Knowledge of how to speak to CxOs (specifically CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs), security leaders, and developer audiences, as well as content marketing, social media, and content delivery trends.
- Creative thinker who can not only identify gaps or opportunities, but also offers ways to address them.
- When you encounter obstacles, you find an effective solution with a positive mindset.
- Stay up to date of SEO best practices and proven track record of optimizing content for organic traffic growth.

- Proven ability to work well externally: with customers, with channel partners, and with agencies.
- Experience with crafting video scripts is a plus.
- Experience working with Asana a plus.
