Content Marketing Lead

Adaptive is a cybersecurity startup on a mission to stop AI-powered cyberattacks, founded by Brian Long and Andrew Jones—proven entrepreneurs behind Attentive (Forbes Cloud 100, $10B+ valuation) and TapCommerce (acquired by Twitter). In April 2025, Adaptive raised $43M, led by a16z and the OpenAI Fund, marking OpenAI's first-ever cybersecurity investment.

As generative AI drives new cyber threats, Adaptive is building the defense layer every organization needs. Our platform combines personalized security training, AI-driven attack simulations, and automated threat triage, all powered by the Adaptive Risk Intelligence Engine to quantify human risk at the individual level.

Trusted by top banks, tech companies, and healthcare organizations, we protect teams from emerging threats like deepfakes, smishing, and voice scams. With a solid product foundation and a $200B+ market to transform, we're just getting started.

We’re hiring a Content Marketing Lead to own and scale the way Adaptive connects with the world across email, social, and content-driven campaigns. You’ll design and execute strategies that tell our story, engage our audience, and move prospects from awareness to action.

This is a hands-on, high-visibility role where you’ll manage the full lifecycle of content distribution from concept and copywriting to scheduling, publishing, and performance optimization. You’ll be fluent in both the art (storytelling) and the science (analytics + automation) of content marketing.

You’ll partner with marketing leadership, brand and design teams, and work closely with the events team to create high-impact email campaigns centered around upcoming field marketing initiatives. You’ll also be deeply embedded in our digital presence—interfacing regularly with our blog and website content to ensure everything we publish reflects the Adaptive voice and drives measurable results.
