Head of Content for AI-Driven Cybersecurity

Cogent Security; United States; Remote; USD 150,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Cogent Security is seeking a senior content leader to own the editorial voice and storytelling from product insights to customer outcomes. You will turn raw material into engaging content that travels, moves pipeline, and reflects a founder-driven perspective.

This is a builder role with AI tooling and a small team, where you still write the pieces that matter. A separate Director of Communications handles press and analyst relations; you will elevate thought leadership through ghostwritten

Qualifications

• 8-10+ years in content roles in B2B tech, with cybersecurity strongly preferred.
• A track record of content that moved real numbers: content-sourced pipeline, organic traffic and engagement that turned into meetings.
• You've done it at a small company where you were the engine: shipping weekly without a big team, a big budget, or someone else's strategy to execute.
• Excellent writing and editorial judgment. You can build a point of view and explain complex security topics simply and credibly.
• Proven ghostwriting for executives, with a real system for capturing their voice.
• Fluent with AI in the actual work. You can walk through a content workflow you built, where it broke, and what you changed.

Responsibilities

• Own Cogent's content engine end to end: the calendar, and content series that compound over time (weekly VM insights, AI security myths, remediation playbooks) across LinkedIn-first social, blog, video, and long-form.
• Own SEO and AEO so the work gets found by the buyers and by the models that now shape how people discover it.
• Tie content to pipeline. Track which pieces move deals and do more of what works.
• Write the top- and middle-of-funnel pieces that pull practitioners in and move buyers toward a decision: blog posts, ebooks, and whitepapers.
• Own the social strategy: regular series and point-in-time posts that keep a steady drumbeat of Cogent's point of view in front of practitioners.
• Ghostwrite for the CEO, CTO, and technical leaders with a real point of view and a consistent voice.
• Build repeatable systems to capture raw material: leader interviews, Slack mining, call notes, research briefs.
• Turn that raw material into thought leadership that security practitioners actually read and share.
• Turn Cogent Research, threat findings, and product insight into original analysis that travels and generates pipeline.
• Own the flagship research report and the programs around it, with the research team and the CTO.
• React fast when security news breaks: ship the POV piece while the story still matters.
• Use AI across the workflow and orchestrate contractors and tools so a small team ships like a big one, without losing accuracy or voice.
• Build systems that make the whole engine faster, like a living archive of positioning, proof, and research the whole company can draw from.
