The role, in a nutshell:  We're looking for an Executive Communications and Content Manager to help our executive team and community show up in the market with sharp, distinctive points of view. This role is fundamentally a thought leadership and content role: you'll spend most of your time writing and creating content (blog posts, bylines, social content, video, and talking points) that carry our company narrative through the distinct voice of each spokesperson who delivers it.  You’ll work across Chainguard’s executive team, developing a narrative for each leader while keeping their storytelling aligned with broader company moments, launches, and campaigns. You'll also help extend that same thought leadership lens to our customers, highlighting their perspectives and insights as part of our content strategy. This is a role for a strong writer and storyteller who thrives on variety, juggles multiple voices and deadlines without losing quality, and knows how to translate complex topics into narratives that land with developer, security, and business audiences. What you’ll do:  * Executive thought leadership content: Develop and write blog posts, bylines, video, and long-form pieces that build our executives' individual points of view and reputations in the security and open source communities. * Customer thought leadership: Work with Chainguard customers to develop content that showcases their industry leadership and how they're using Chainguard. * Executive social presence: Manage and write social content for our executive team, turning ideas, moments, and company news into posts that sound authentically like each person. * Spokesperson prep: Shape narratives, talking points, and prep materials to help executives show up with a clear story at external engagements, such as podcasts, events, and webinars. * Narrative translation: Turn technical and strategic topics into stories that land with developer, security, and business audiences. * Cross-functional alignment: Work with Marketing, PR, and Events to make sure executive storytelling reinforces broader company narratives, launches, and campaigns. * Content operations: Own the external content calendar for each executive you support, and manage the process end to end. What we’re looking for:  * 5+ years of experience in executive communications, public relations, content/brand storytelling, journalism, or a related writing-intensive role. In-house experience is a plus. * Ability to manage content across multiple executives, channels, and deadlines, without dropping the ball.  * A storyteller's instinct: you can spot the narrative in a piece of news, a customer moment, or an executive's offhand idea, and turn it into content that resonates.  * Excellent writing and messaging skills, with the ability to convey complex information in a clear and compelling manner. * Comfort operating with confidence around senior execs, including knowing when to push back or nudge them to keep things moving. * Proven success in cross-functional, highly collaborative roles. * Bonus: experience working in highly technical or developer-facing organizations.  On-Target Earnings: $127,650 - $161,000 Base Salary Range $111,000—$140,000 USD ABOUT US We live and breathe our company values: * We are customer obsessed — We focus on delivering solutions to our customers that create value and make their lives better. * We have a bias for intentional action — We prioritize, plan, try things, and fail fast. * We don't take ourselves too seriously (but we do serious work) — We are solving an important problem which takes focus, but we also like to enjoy the journey. * We trust each other and assume good intentions — We're transparent with decisions to empower team members to make well informed decisions. A few of the benefits we offer: * Flexible & Remote-First Culture: Work remotely with team meetup opportunities, bi-annual destination summits, and a monthly stipend for coworking spaces, phone and internet costs. * Our Approach to Equity: Receive stock options upon hire and promotion. Plus, you can participate in secondary offerings and have 10 years to exercise your options (yes, you read that correctly: 10 years!). * 100% Covered Health Insurance: We cover 100% of your health, vision and dental insurance premiums for you and your dependents. Nothing comes out of your paycheck. * ∞ Flexible Time Off: Take the time you need – to do our best work, we need to recharge and reset. * 18 Weeks Paid Parental Leave: We offer 18 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, with the option to use it all at once or throughout your child's first year.
