The Opportunity
As the Manager, Content Marketing at Iru, you’ll shape how IT and security leaders make sense of a rapidly evolving landscape. Iru is known for collapsing the IT stack and giving teams back valuable time—now we want to become a go-to voice for insight and perspective.
You’ll build on a strong foundation supported by experts in identity, endpoint security, and compliance, all within a community that understands the realities of technology in the AI era. You’ll also be backed by a bold brand that’s willing to take risks and push boundaries.
Your role is to turn this foundation into a clear, compelling editorial presence that informs, entertains, and challenges the status quo.

- Manage an editorial calendar that feeds social channels with stories connecting Iru’s innovation to customer outcomes.
- Write and edit standout content: smart, entertaining, opinionated pieces that resonate. You can scale your impact with freelance writers while also rolling up your sleeves and writing yourself.
- Tap into the Iru community: leverage our network of customers, partners, and industry voices to amplify and enrich Iru's editorial presence.
What You'll Bring
- 4+ years of content marketing experience
- Experience building content marketing strategies and editorial publications from the ground up
- Strong writer and editor across short and long-form content
- Ability to manage freelance or full-time writers
- Exceptional clarity of thought, able to explain complex concepts in simple, human terms
- Bonus: Experience producing diverse content formats (video, research reports, podcasts, data visualizations, etc.)
You are
- A storyteller with editorial instincts and a voice people want to read
- A builder who thrives in ambiguity and loves starting things from scratch
