Content Specialist

About the role

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.
