Director, Editorial Strategy

Core Responsibilities

Lead the editorial engine
Chair the editorial board, on which every pod lead has a seat — synthesize their input and own the final call on what gets packaged, prioritized, and scheduled (the decision-maker, informed by the board)
Cluster in-flight content (thought leadership, threat research, podcast, exec commentary, customer proof) into coherent narratives tied to market and leadership themes
Translate dense source material for the audience — e.g. turn a long-form research report into something a CISO actually wants to open — without diluting the underlying rigor
Sequence and time releases across PR, social, influencer, podcast, and exec comms so assets reinforce one another
Build the feedback loop
Routeperformance and “what landed” signal back to originating teams (esp. Threat Research and Product Marketing) so long-lead work is continuously shaped by what the market responds to
Partner with the Data & Analytics Lead so editorial decisions are evidence-based
Own the messaging backbone
Operate the content-routing workflow — drafting, review, approval — so approved content moves quickly from idea to publication
Own the quote bank and messaging house: codify approved messaging, keep it current, and lock updates at defined approval gates
Feed and draw from the executive thought-leadership program as a primary source of approved voice and POV
Scale the function
Run editorial hands-on with a small pod at first; as the team and tooling mature, systematize it into a repeatable daily operation supported by the MI data and automation stack

Qualifications

• 8+ years in editorial, content strategy, or integrated communications, including 2+ leading a cross-functional editorial or content function

• Strong editorial judgment — can make technical or dense material resonate for a senior business audience
• A diplomat and an operator: can align teams who don't report to you and land a shared function as a service
• Comfortable in a fast-moving, AI-forward environment; high AI fluency and appetite to adopt new tooling quickly

Preferred

• B2B technology, cybersecurity, or enterprise-software background; understands the CISO/security-leader audience
• Experience standing up a net-new editorial/content-ops function (people, process, tooling)
