The Editoris responsible forthe end-to-end delivery of incident-centric stories, breaking-news responses, perspective pieces, and other fast-turnaround content.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity content, security journalism, threat communications, technical marketing, or a related discipline, including meaningful experience in incident-driven or fast-cycle environments.

• Demonstrated ability to deliver technically credible content under time pressure, with strong project coordination, source management, and stakeholder skills.

• Working knowledge of the contemporary threat landscape, including vulnerability disclosure, malware families, threat actor naming, ransomware operations, and major incident archetypes.

• Crisp short-form and mid-form writing, with the ability to adapt voice across research summaries, news pieces, and perspective formats.

• Fluency with AI-assisted workflows for drafting, summarization, and triage, anda track recordof producing publication-quality output with such tools.
