Job description

SkillBit (formerly MetaCTF) is a growing startup that helps organizations build, measure, and maintain the cybersecurity skills that matter most in today's evolving threat landscape. Its AI-powered platform delivers immersive, hands-on assessment and training experiences for individuals and teams, enabling organizations to accelerate onboarding, identify capability gaps, and develop cybersecurity talent. SkillBit turns a security team's skills into capital: proven hands-on, built for the work the team actually does, and visible to the people who fund it.

The Role

We're looking for a Cyber Training Program Manager to own our live training programs and the content behind them.

This is a hands-on cybersecurity training program management and instructional design role. You'll own the relationship between our customers, instructors, and learners and make sure that every course is planned and delivered. Teaching experience is a plus.

As a small team, we're looking for someone with real ownership and urgency. Someone who sees what needs to be done, builds the plan, and moves without waiting for perfect information or detailed instructions.

What You'll Work On

• Plan and run a calendar of live virtual training, from 1-hour briefings to full-day hands-on workshops, including the schedule, instructor assignments, announcements, and registration.
• Be the day-to-day contact for each customer's program team and for learners before, during, and after every course. Report on attendance and learning outcomes.
• Find, vet, contract, and prepare technical instructors, run dry runs, and quality-check delivery.
• Plan, commission, and review learning content, and map it to industry frameworks and to each customer's priorities.
• Deploy courses, labs, and challenges into SkillBit Labs, and test them end to end so every environment works before a learner sees it.
• Judge labs and challenges as a practitioner would, checking that each scenario is realistic, teaches the right skill, and sits at the right difficulty.
• Turn learner and instructor feedback into platform and content improvements, working closely with our product and engineering team.
• Teach sessions in your areas of expertise and serve as a backup instructor when needed.
• Represent SkillBit at conferences and help run customer events and hands-on activities.

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on cybersecurity experience deep enough to judge whether a lab is realistic, whether a course covers the right material, and how it maps to frameworks such as NIST NICE and MITRE ATT&CK.
• Comfort working with, or quickly learning, the technologies and tools needed to deploy, troubleshoot, and test hands-on labs on your own. Experience with cyber ranges, CTFs, or lab design is a plus.
• Experience running a training program or a similar multi-stakeholder project, including schedules, vendors or instructors, and customer reporting, with a track record of keeping many moving pieces on schedule.
• Experience building or managing technical training content, such as course outlines, hands-on exercises, and assessments.
• Clear written and spoken communication with customers, instructors, and learners, including in front of a live audience.
• A strong bias toward action. You create structure in ambiguity, take ownership of your work, and see it through on your own.
• Comfortable using AI tools to augment your work. AI security expertise is a plus.
• Comfortable with occasional travel.

Notes

• Reports to: Co-Founder & CEO
• Location: remote, based in the United States and authorized to work here
• Travel: occasional travel for conferences and customer events
• Expected salary range: $100,000 to $150,000 + stock options
• Among others, benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance and Safe Harbor 401(k) with company match
