Sr. Manager, Content Marketing

About the role

As a Senior Manager of Content Marketing at Material Security, you'll own the editorial engine that changes how the cybersecurity market thinks about email security: the blog, our web content, and our original research program. You'll partner with data science and threat research to turn Material's product telemetry and customer insight into research that press, analysts, and AI search engines cite, and write the content that security practitioners trust. Your mission is to make "workspace security" the category the market repeats, with Material Security as the primary source. Material Security is a remote-first workplace with an office in San Francisco, California.

Responsibilities

• Own content strategy and the editorial calendar across the blog, resource center, research reports, and executive thought leadership.
• Lead the original research program, including the State of Workspace Security report franchise by partnering with Threat Research.
• Write and edit across formats: research reports, technical blog posts, category POV pieces, web copy, video scripts, and campaign content.
• Own the website's content layer and answer‑engine optimization: structure content so AI search engines cite Material, and track share of model against competitors.
• Drive the category narrative in partnership with product marketing, turning positioning into published arguments the market repeats.
• Build content‑led campaigns with demand generation and deliver assets built to convert, on a clear SLA.
• Partner with founders, engineers, and security researchers to source insight and keep technical content credible with practitioner audiences.
• Measure what works with pipeline influence, citation share, and engagement data, and cut what doesn’t.

Requirements

• 7+ years in content marketing, editorial, tech journalism, or security research writing, with meaningful time in B2B, security or infrastructure.
• Exceptional writing and editing with a portfolio spanning long‑form research or reporting, technical explainers, and sharp short‑form; you produce the work, not just the plan.
• Track record of turning datasets, telemetry, or survey research into published work that earned coverage and citations.
• Security fluency: depth to interview a detection engineer without a translator and be credible with a CISO reader.
• Working knowledge of SEO and hands‑on conviction about AEO/GEO: AI answers, not just search rankings, now decide who makes the shortlist.
• Experience running a content function end to end: strategy, calendar, production, review, publication, distribution, measurement.
• Strong point of view about what makes security content worth reading, backed by results.

Compensation at Material Security is determined by a range of factors, including but not limited to the individual’s particular combination of knowledge, skills, competencies, and experience. The projected compensation range for this position is $150,000 - $180,000 per year.
