Head of Marketing

About GhostEye Most security programs tell companies whether they appear compliant. GhostEye tells them whether they can withstand a real attack. We're building the always-on red team for modern enterprises. GhostEye emulates the attacks adversaries use today, including help-desk vishing, deepfaked executives, MFA fatigue, and the technical payloads that follow. We identify what is actually exploitable, help customers close the gaps, and retest until the fixes hold. Our founder previously led red-team work at BlackRock and conducted offensive cyber operations at MITRE. We're bringing that experience to one of cybersecurity's hardest problems: helping organizations continuously test their defenses against the attacks they actually face. We sell to CISOs, security engineering leaders, and the practitioners who will pull apart every claim we make. That shapes how we market. About the role This is our first marketing hire, reporting to the CEO. You'll own the story we tell and the pipeline it produces. For the first year this is an individual contributor role. There\'s no team to manage yet and no budget worth administering. You will write the words, build the campaigns, run the events, and answer for the meetings that come out the other side. We expect you to build a team after you\'ve proven the motion, not before. Today the founder is the primary seller and the primary source of credibility. Your job is to make that scale: turn our research and our operator experience into something that reaches every security leader we want to talk to, whether or not they\'ve met us. What you\'ll own Positioning and narrative. Define what "always-on red team" means in a market crowded with traditional pentest firms and AEV (adversarial exposure validation) platforms. Make the difference obvious in one sentence. Research-led content. Work directly with our security researchers to turn attack-chain research, tradecraft findings, and assessment data into posts, talks, and reports that practitioners actually read and share. Demand generation. Build the pipeline engine end to end: target account lists, outbound infrastructure, email, LinkedIn, retargeting, and the measurement to know what\'s working. Account-based marketing. Our buyer universe is a few hundred named enterprises, not a funnel. Design programs that reach specific accounts and specific people inside them. Sales enablement. Decks, one-pagers, case studies, competitive teardowns, objection handling, and the security questionnaire answers that unblock procurement. Community and events. Show up where security people are: BSides, DEF CON, Black Hat, RSA, CISO dinners, podcasts, and the private communities where buying decisions actually get influenced. Founder amplification. Ghostwrite, edit, and produce for the CEO and the research team. Their credibility is our largest marketing asset. Website and product marketing. Own the site, launches, pricing pages, and the way we describe what we do as the product changes. Analyst and press relations as we grow into it. What we\'re looking for You write well and you write a lot. Marketing at our stage is mostly writing. Everything else is downstream of it. You\'ll be asked to write during the interview process. You can earn technical credibility with security practitioners. You don\'t need to have been a red teamer. You do need to be able to read a writeup on EDR evasion or an initial access chain and turn it into something a security engineer would send to a colleague. Tell us what security content you already read and who you think does this well. You have shipped pipeline, not just brand. You can point to sourced meetings and closed revenue you were accountable for, and explain the specific mechanics that produced them. You have positioned a product in a crowded category and can walk us through the reasoning, including what you decided not to say. You've done this early. You've worked somewhere that had no playbook, no team, and no budget, and you built the motion anyway. You have judgment about tone. We market offensive capability. Fear-mongering reads as amateur to sophisticated buyers, and some things shouldn\'t be published at all. We take responsible disclosure and customer safety seriously and expect you to as well. You're comfortable being measured. You\'ll propose the numbers you want to be held to in your first quarter. Nice to have Background marketing to CISOs, security engineering, or IT leadership Experience in offensive security, exposure management, detection and response, or an adjacent category Fluency in how the exposure management landscape is actually framed today, including CTEM and AEV, and where we sit in it Existing relationships in the security community, whether media, analysts, conference organizers, or practitioners Experience with enterprise sales cycles and long, multi-stakeholder deals Comfort with the modern stack: HubSpot or similar, Clay, Apollo, analytics, basic design tooling Public work we can look at: a newsletter, a talk, a body of writing, a brand you built What success looks like in 90 days A positioning and messaging framework that the founder, sales, and research all use without editing it A first research-led content piece published and distributed, with evidence that the right people read it The demand-gen engine live: target account list, outbound running, tracking in place, and first sourced meetings on the calendar A sales kit that shortens the path from first call to security review A written marketing plan for the next two quarters with numbers attached #J-18808-Ljbffr
