Who you’re committed to being:

• You enjoy learning and are open to new ways of doing things.

• You are not afraid to be yourself, experiment, make mistakes and learn from them, ask questions, or voice your concerns.

• When communicating you are self-aware, insightful, and proactive.

• Market & Technical Research: Conduct deep dives into cybersecurity trends, tools, and threats to ensure timely and accurate content. Stay informed about the latest developments in cybercrime, regulatory changes, and emerging technologies like zero trust, SIEM, and endpoint protection.

• Engagement Optimization: Use email marketing tools and analytics platforms to monitor performance metrics and optimize content for reader engagement. Experiment with layout, headlines, and storytelling techniques to improve audience retention.

• Collaboration: Work closely with product, marketing, and technical teams to align newsletter content with company goals and initiatives. Represent the newsletter as a thought leader, influencing overall content strategies around cybersecurity topics.

Experience you’ll bring:

• Technical Knowledge: Experience with AI-related content creation. Familiarity with concepts like machine learning, natural language processing, generative AI, and the ethical implications of AI is critical.

• Writing & Communication Skills: We’re looking for someone who can bring a unique voice to the newsletter. A personal touch is required to build trust and engagement. You should be able to write clear and concisely in this limited format. You write compelling headlines and can distill complicated subjects into crisp, short formats.

• Strategic Mindset: Demonstrated ability to develop a content strategy that aligns with business goals and optimizes audience engagement.

• Analytical Skills: Proficiency in data-driven content strategies, using tools like Google Analytics, Mailchimp, or other email marketing platforms.

Requirements:

• Social Media Proficiency: Familiarity with using social platforms to promote content and drive engagement.

• Project Management: Strong organizational skills with the ability to lead multiple projects and deadlines.

• Hands-on AI experience: 2-3 years experience building products and services using AI or utilizing AI on a regular basis in the function of previous jobs.

• At least 5 years of experience leading the authorship, design, and execution of newsletters. Strong portfolio of published work demonstrating expertise in this area.

• Minimum 2-3 years of experience with content creation focused on the AI industry.
