Responsibilities

• Thought Leadership & Editorial
• Own True Anomaly's thought-leadership engine: the original stories, analysis, and points of view on the domain that anchor the brand-marketing layer of the website — define the editorial vision, plan the story slate, set the cadence, commission and interview, and write the anchor pieces yourself
• Serve as editor of the annual State of the Domain report — True Anomaly's signature act of authority in the space security domain — owning it end to end from thesis and structure through the writing and final edit
• Build the editorial engine that makes it sustainable: the story calendar, the contributor and interview pipeline, the standards, and the workflow
• Hold the editorial standard. Every piece should reflect the company's operational depth and intellectual authority, and read like it could only have come from True Anomaly
• Narrative & Voice
• Help define and evolve True Anomaly's narrative, messaging architecture, and written voice — and steward that voice consistently across everything the company publishes
• Turn technical complexity into stories that move beyond features and specs to the stakes: why the domain matters, what True Anomaly sees, and what it makes possible
• Develop messaging frameworks that connect company vision, domain trends, and product reality into a coherent point of view
• Company-Wide Copy

Requirements

• 8+ years in editorial, brand storytelling, journalism, content strategy, or communications, with a portfolio that demonstrates strategic storytelling and range — not just clean copy
• Proven ability to translate complex technical subject matter — ideally in defense, space, deep tech, or a comparably rigorous domain — into clear, compelling, credible narrative
• Real editorial experience: planning and running a publication, editorial franchise, or major report — commissioning, editing others, and owning a standard, not only writing to brief
• Exceptional interviewing skills and the instinct to extract insight from technical and executive stakeholders
• Experience developing messaging frameworks, narrative, and executive thought leadership; comfort supporting a founder-led brand and executive visibility is a strong plus
• A writing voice that is clear, direct, and unhedged — True Anomaly's external standard is high, and this person sets it
• Senior enough to own the function alone today and build it tomorrow, and energized by a blank slate rather than thrown by it
• Genuine interest in defense, national security, or space is a meaningful signal. Category expertise is not required; intellectual seriousness about the mission is
