Content Marketing Lead

Vega is a rapidly growing cybersecurity startup focused on redefining the Post-SIEM Era with an AI-native operating system for SecOps. They are seeking a Head of Content Marketing to establish and manage the content function, driving awareness and engagement through various channels while collaborating closely with the leadership team and other departments.

Responsibilities:

• Own and drive content strategy, calendar, and execution across all channels and funnel stages
• Build and run the editorial calendar — blog, newsletter, LinkedIn, community — with a bias toward publishing fast and iterating, not waiting for perfect
• Be the guardian of Vega's brand voice and identity across every surface it touches. Set the standard, enforce it, and evolve it as the company grows
• Craft executive narratives and thought leadership for the leadership team — contrarian, thesis-led, willing to pick a fight with the industry and win it
• Collaborate closely with Field Marketing, Creative, PMM, Product, and Sales to ensure Vega's voice lands consistently across the website, social, events, campaign assets, and customer-facing communications
• Develop theme-based content series around the structural arguments that matter: AI-paced threats, the ingestion bottleneck, why the legacy SIEM era is over
• Launch and run a podcast or interview series that puts Vega in conversation with the practitioners building detection programs at scale
• Build a network of freelance writers, designers, and video creators to extend reach without slowing execution velocity
• Use AI tooling to scale content quality and distribution — for leverage, not volume
• Track what's driving pipeline, organic, and community influence. Kill what isn't working. Double what is

Requirements:

• 8+ years in B2B content marketing, with at least 3 in cybersecurity, security infrastructure, or adjacent technical enterprise software
• A portfolio that shows range: long-form technical posts, executive thought leadership, social content, campaign narratives. Bonus if something in it clearly broke from category conventions
• Proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into content that practitioners screenshot and share
• Experience running content as a growth function, not just a publishing function — you track pipeline influence, organic reach, and community engagement
• Comfortable being the content function, not just part of one. Have done this at a startup, or somewhere that moves like one
• Opinionated about voice. Understand that brand consistency is a strategic asset, not a style preference
• Fluent in AI-assisted content workflows — for leverage, not volume
• You've ghostwritten for a technical executive team before
• You know what MITRE ATT&CK is without Googling it
• You've launched a content-led category narrative, not just contributed to one
