Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Executive thought leadership content: Develop and write blog posts, bylines, video, and long-form pieces that build our executives' individual points of view and reputations in the security and open source communities.
  • Customer thought leadership: Work with Chainguard customers to develop content that showcases their industry leadership and how they're using Chainguard.
  • Executive social presence: Manage and write social content for our executive team, turning ideas, moments, and company news into posts that sound authentically like each person.
  • Spokesperson prep: Shape narratives, talking points, and prep materials to help executives show up with a clear story at external engagements, such as podcasts, events, and webinars.
  • Narrative translation: Turn technical and strategic topics into stories that land with developer, security, and business audiences.

  • Content operations: Own the external content calendar for each executive you support, and manage the process end to end.

Requirements

  • Ability to manage content across multiple executives, channels, and deadlines, without dropping the ball.
  • A storyteller's instinct: you can spot the narrative in a piece of news, a customer moment, or an executive's offhand idea, and turn it into content that resonates.
  • Excellent writing and messaging skills, with the ability to convey complex information in a clear and compelling manner.
  • Comfort operating with confidence around senior execs, including knowing when to push back or nudge them to keep things moving.
  • Proven success in cross-functional, highly collaborative roles.
  • Bonus: experience working in highly technical or developer-facing organizations.

  • 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck.
  • ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset.
