Content Specialist
Neo Security · United States
Neo Security is hiring a Content Specialist to research, write, and publish authoritative content on AI and cybersecurity trends, threats, and research. You'll be the primary voice behind our blog, whitepapers, and security research content — translating technical research, threat intelligence, and emerging AI-security developments into content that's credible to practitioners and compelling to a broader security audience. You'll work closely with Product Marketing, Product, and Security/Research teams to source material and ensure everything we publish is technically accurate and genuinely useful.
This role suits a former cybersecurity practitioner or seasoned security content writer who already understands the threat landscape, can read a CVE or a threat research report and write about it credibly, and has a track record of published work that security professionals actually read and share.
What You'll Do
- Research, write, and publish blog posts on cybersecurity and AI security trends, emerging threats, and industry news, on a regular publishing cadence.
- Write in-depth whitepapers and long-form security research content that establish Neo Security as a credible voice in the AI security conversation.
- Translate technical research, threat intelligence, and product/engineering findings into clear, accurate, and engaging content for security practitioner audiences.
- Partner with Product and Security/Research teams to source original research, data, and insights for content, and ensure technical accuracy before publishing.
- Track the AI and cybersecurity news cycle (emerging threats, vulnerabilities, regulatory developments, notable breaches) to identify timely content opportunities.
- Develop a consistent editorial voice and point of view for Neo Security's content that balances technical credibility with accessibility.
- Support the creation of supporting content formats (e.g., executive summaries, social copy, webinar content) derived from core research and blog content.
- Collaborate with Design/Motion on visual assets (charts, diagrams, illustrations) that support written content.
- Track content performance (traffic, engagement, shares, backlinks) and use data to refine topics and formats over time.
- Build and maintain relationships with security researchers, analysts, and journalists relevant to amplifying Neo Security's content and research.
Requirements
- Prior hands-on experience in cybersecurity — as a practitioner, analyst, researcher, or dedicated security content writer/editor.
- Published writing samples from a major cybersecurity vendor, research team, or publication, demonstrating the ability to write credibly for a security practitioner audience — required for consideration.
- Strong understanding of the cybersecurity threat landscape and ability to speak knowledgeably about vulnerabilities, attack techniques, and defensive strategies.
- Working familiarity with AI security topics (e.g., AI/ML threat models, prompt injection, model security, AI governance) or demonstrated ability to get up to speed quickly.
- Excellent writing and editing skills, with experience producing both short-form blog content and long-form whitepapers/research reports.
- Ability to read and accurately translate technical source material (research papers, CVEs, threat reports) into clear content without sacrificing accuracy.
- Strong research skills and intellectual curiosity, comfortable digging into a new technical topic and turning it into an authoritative piece of content.
- Self-directed and comfortable owning an editorial calendar and publishing cadence with minimal oversight.
- Based in the United States, able to work remotely across U.S. time zones.
