AI has fundamentally changed how attacks happen, allowing malicious actors to operate at unprecedented speed and scale. Cogent's \"AI Taskforce\" assesses petabytes of enterprise data to remediate these issues before critical breaches occur.\nTo stay at the cutting edge, we blend frontier research with real-world execution. Alongside our core product work, Cogent Research serves as our applied AI lab, providing the research horsepower needed to make truly agentic security workflows a reality.\nSince coming out of stealth, Cogent has experienced rapid growth. We partner with Fortune 500 companies to secure some of the most complex production environments in the world.\nWe're backed by Greylock and we've built a team with the best minds in applied AI. Our team is comprised of people from:\nTop universities like Stanford, Berkeley, Penn, Duke, Carnegie Mellon, Waterloo\n\nUnicorn, high-growth companies like Scale AI, Databricks, Stripe, Tesla, Coinbase\n\nWorld class cybersecurity experts from Wiz, Abnormal AI, Zscaler\n\nPreeminent ML research labs like Deepmind and SAIL\n\nAbout the Role\nCogent is building a world-class marketing team, and we're looking for smart, fast, exceptional people who are committed to our mission and bring a spark of creativity that sets us apart from traditional B2B marketing. As the founding content leader, you'll own how Cogent sounds: the editorial point of view, the executive and founder voice, and the research and stories we put into the world. You'll take raw material (product insight, original research, customer outcomes) and turn it into content that travels and moves pipeline. This is a builder's seat. Production runs on AI, contractors, and a small team, so you set the editorial standard, orchestrate the output, and still write the pieces that matter yourself. A separate Director of Communications owns press and analyst relations; you build the material worth covering, they land it.\nWhat You'll Do\nNarrative & Content Strategy\nOwn Cogent's content engine end to end:the calendar, and content series that compound over time (weekly VM insights, AI security myths, remediation playbooks) across LinkedIn-first social, blog, video, and long-form.\n\nOwn SEO and AEO so the work gets found by the buyers and by the models that now shape how people discover it.\n\nTie content to pipeline. Track which pieces move deals and do more of what works.\n\nContent Production\nWrite the top- and middle-of-funnel pieces that pull practitioners in and move buyers toward a decision: blog posts, ebooks, and whitepapers.\n\nOwn the social strategy: regular series and point-in-time posts that keep a steady drumbeat of Cogent's point of view in front of practitioners.\n\nExecutive & Founder Voice\nGhostwrite for the CEO, CTO, and technical leaders with a real point of view and a consistent voice.\n\nBuild repeatable systems to capture raw material: leader interviews, Slack mining, call notes, research briefs.\n\nTurn that raw material into thought leadership that security practitioners actually read and share.\n\nResearch & Story Packaging\nTurn Cogent Research, threat findings, and product insight into original analysis that travels and generates pipeline.\n\nOwn the flagship research report and the programs around it, with the research team and the CTO.\n\nReact fast when security news breaks: ship the POV piece while the story still matters.\n\nAI-Native Production\nUse AI across the workflow and orchestrate contractors and tools so a small team ships like a big one, without losing accuracy or voice.\n\nBuild systems that make the whole engine faster, like a living archive of positioning, proof, and research the whole company can draw from.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nMust-Have\n8-10+ years in content roles in B2B tech, with cybersecurity strongly preferred.\n\nA track record of content that moved real numbers: content-sourced pipeline, organic traffic and rankings, and engagement that turned into meetings.\n\nYou've done it at a small company where you were the engine: shipping weekly without a big team, a big budget, or someone else's strategy to execute.\n\nExcellent writing and editorial judgment. You can build a point of view and explain complex security topics simply and credibly.\n\nProven ghostwriting for executives, with a real system for capturing their voice.\n\nFluent with AI in the actual work. You can walk through a content workflow you built, where it broke, and what you changed.\n\nNice-to-Have\nExperience packaging research: threat reports, benchmarks, original analysis that earned attention.\n\nExperience running SEO through agencies or contractors, and a working point of view on AEO.\n\nProduction ability beyond writing: short video, explainers, visual assets, or the judgment to direct contractors who make them.\n\nFamiliarity with vulnerability management, exposure management, or AppSec/CloudSec adjacencies.\n\nWhy Cogent\nCogent is redefining how AI can proactively defend organizations against evolving threats. Our mission is to empower security teams with cutting-edge AI agents and clear, actionable insights. You'll join a world-class GTM team where your work directly impacts the safety of some of the world's most sophisticated organizations.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5313,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Information Security","AI Agents","Cybersecurity AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T23:29:30Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 5","filings_12m":5,"filings_prev_12m":2,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":187500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":76,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.846,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":20,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:3","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cogent-security-director-content-marketing","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cogent-security-director-content-marketing.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T08:55:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5331,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1921973},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1921973"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcogent-security-director-content-marketing"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcogent-security-director-content-marketing"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcogent-security-director-content-marketing"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cogent-security-director-content-marketing\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcogent-security-director-content-marketing"}]}
