Job description

Director of Analyst Relations

Torq is redefining the AI SOC category as the chief architect of our reputation among the industry’s most critical influencers. You will ensure that every relevant analyst at every major firm understands who Torq is, how our tech is unique, and why enterprises prefer Torq to transform how they understand and manage risk. This high-stakes role requires a strategist who can translate the technical power of Agentic AI and automation into a market‑defining narrative.

What You’ll Do

• Own the Narrative: Build and lead a world‑class AR program that positions Torq as the undisputed leader in the emerging AI SOC category.
• Lead the "Evaluations" War Room: Direct Torq’s participation in major research reports (e.g., Gartner Magic Quadrant, KuppingerCole Leadership Compass, Frost & Sullivan Radar, etc.). Manage the entire lifecycle from technical RFIs to high‑pressure executive briefings, ensuring our story is undeniable.
• Bridge Product & Influence: Collaborate closely with our Product and Engineering teams to distill advanced concepts into strategic insights analysts can’t ignore.
• Strategic Feedback Loop: Don’t just talk to analysts; listen to them. Bring outside‑in competitive intelligence and market trends back to our Product Marketing and GTM teams to refine our edge.
• Executive Coaching: Prepare our C‑suite and technical founders for briefings, ensuring every interaction reinforces Torq’s unique position in the market.

The Ideal Profile

• Security Savvy: You live and breathe cybersecurity. You understand SOC personas and pain points, the friction of legacy tools, and how agentic AI is fundamentally changing the game for defenders.
• AR Heavyweight: You have 8+ years of experience in AR or Corporate Communications, with a proven track record of moving the needle in the B2B security space.
• Agile & Scrappy: Torq moves fast. You thrive in a high‑growth environment where you need to be both the "thinker" and the "doer."
• The Master Communicator: You can take a complex, technical "how‑to" and turn it into a "why it matters" for a Tier‑1 analyst.
• Methodology Expert: You know the Gartner and other firms’ playbooks inside and out and know how to navigate their processes to maximize impact.

Benefits

• Category Creators: We’re setting the pace for how the modern SOC operates.
• Unmatched Tech: Represent a platform that delivers on the promise of an AI SOC spanning the entire threat management lifecycle.
• Remote‑First Excellence: We’re a distributed team of high‑performers who value autonomy, speed, and results.
