WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCE: 7+ years in content marketing, editorial, tech journalism, or security research writing, with meaningful time in B2B, security or infrastructure. WRITING AUTHORITY: 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. DATA STORYTELLING: A track record of turning datasets, telemetry, or survey research into published work that earned coverage and citations.
