Content Specialist

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. Nice to Haves Prior experience as a security analyst, threat researcher, or engineer before moving into content/writing. Experience ghostwriting for security executives, researchers, or founders. Existing relationships with security journalists, analysts, or researchers that can help amplify content. Experience with SEO best practices as they apply to technical/security content. Public speaking or podcast/webinar hosting experience relevant to security content promotion. Relevant security certifications (e.g., Security+, CISSP, GIAC) or a technical background in security engineering or research. #J-18808-Ljbffr
