Job description

Overview

What we do: Halcyon is the industry’s first dedicated, adaptive security platform that combines multiple proprietary advanced prevention engines along with AI models focused on stopping ransomware.

Who we are: Halcyon was formed in 2021 by a team of cyber industry veterans focused on building products and solutions for mid-market and enterprise customers. We are a remote-native, distributed global team and welcome applicants from anywhere.

Halcyon is seeking our first Content Strategist — a builder who can shape and lead our content strategy from the ground up. This role fuels demand generation, product marketing, and thought leadership, aligned to the cybersecurity buyer journey. We’re looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution: guiding big-picture editorial planning while also writing crisp, compelling content across formats.

What You’ll Do

• Develop & Lead Content Strategy — Build and evolve a content strategy that aligns with marketing goals, product positioning, and key audience needs across industries and segments.
• Plan & Manage Editorial Calendar — Own the content roadmap to support launches, campaigns, events, and thought leadership; identify content gaps and opportunities by monitoring industry news, ransomware trends, and competitor activity.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally — Partner with product marketing, demand gen, sales, researchers, and executives to ensure accuracy, alignment, and impact.
• Create High-Value Content — Produce and edit content spanning whitepapers, blogs, case studies, solution briefs, landing pages, emails, video scripts, and social posts.
• Drive SEO & Performance — Partner with digital marketing to optimize content for search visibility, UX, and conversion.
• Measure & Optimize — Define KPIs, track performance, and use insights to refine strategy and execution over time.

What You Bring

• 4–6+ years in content strategy, content marketing, or editorial roles (B2B tech or cybersecurity strongly preferred).
• Portfolio showcasing thought leadership, demand gen, and technical storytelling.
• Deep understanding of cybersecurity topics, trends, and buyer personas.
• Experience creating content for both technical and executive audiences.
• Proficiency with CMS platforms, SEO best practices, and analytics tools (e.g., Marketo, SEMrush, Google Analytics).
• Exceptional writing, editing, project management, and collaboration skills.
• Comfort operating independently in a fast-paced, high-growth startup.

Compensation Range: $150,000 – $180,000 annually

In accordance with applicable state and federal laws, the range provided is Halcyon’s reasonable estimate of base compensation. Actual amount may differ based on experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, and location. Base pay may be eligible for additional discretionary bonuses/incentives, and equity.

We’re an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse perspectives and are committed to an inclusive environment for all employees.
