đź“‹ Description
- • As Senior Manager, Public Relations and Communications at Horizon3.ai, you will build and lead a high-impact PR and communications engine that elevates the company’s brand, strengthens its market narrative, and accelerates demand in the fast-growing cybersecurity space. You will own end-to-end press relations, corporate communications, and executive visibility, developing integrated strategies that position Horizon3.ai’s leaders as category-defining voices in offensive security, AI-driven automation, and modern cybersecurity operations.
- • You will own Horizon3.ai’s global PR and communications strategy across earned media, speaking engagements, awards, and thought leadership content; lead and manage relationships with global PR agencies; build and maintain a strategic narrative that differentiates the company in the cybersecurity and AI/automation landscape; develop integrated PR plans tied to product launches, major events like RSA/Black Hat, partner milestones, funding moments, and breaking news; and translate complex technical topics into compelling, media-ready stories.
- • You will serve as the day-to-day lead for relationships with key reporters, editors, producers, and influencers in cybersecurity, enterprise IT, public sector, VC/finance, and business press; proactively pitch high-impact stories to secure coverage in tier-1 and tier-2 outlets; manage inbound media inquiries and coordinate briefing prep, talking points, Q&A, and follow-ups for executives and SMEs; and build and maintain a media list, coverage tracker, and measurement framework to report on velocity, sentiment, share of voice, and message pull-through.
- • You will partner with the CEO, CMO, CPO, CTO, and other leaders to shape executive thought leadership platforms, including bylines, op-eds, speaking topics, and social content; develop and refine keynotes, talking points, FAQs, and internal briefing docs for major moments; support internal and employee communications for key initiatives in partnership with People and Leadership; and ensure message consistency across press releases, web, social, sales enablement, and customer communications.
- • You will own the PR editorial calendar and align it with integrated marketing campaigns, events, and product/feature releases; draft and edit press releases, media alerts, bylines, blog posts, FAQs, briefing documents, award submissions, and talk tracks; collaborate with Product Marketing, Content, and Demand Gen to turn customer wins, product innovation, data insights, and research into PR-worthy stories; and ensure all content is on-brand, accurate, and compliant with legal, privacy, and customer requirements.
- • You will drive PR and communications strategy around key events (e.g., RSA, Black Hat, sector conferences, partner events), including media tours, 1:1 briefings, speaking opportunities, and news moments; partner closely with Field Marketing and Events teams to maximize media and executive visibility at strategic conferences and summits; and collaborate with Analyst Relations or directly manage analyst touchpoints to maintain consistent market narrative and message alignment.
- • You will develop and maintain issues/crisis communication plans, response frameworks, and approval workflows; serve as a strategic advisor to leadership in sensitive situations, helping assess risk, craft messages, and coordinate internal and external responses; and monitor media, social channels, and competitive activity to proactively identify reputational risks and opportunities.
- • You will define KPIs and build reporting around PR and communications performance (coverage volume/quality, message pull-through, share of voice, event-related coverage, referral traffic, and influence on pipeline where measurable); use data and feedback from Sales, Leadership, and Marketing to optimize storytelling, messaging, and targeting; and continuously refine processes, playbooks, and templates to increase speed, quality, and repeatability.
- • Horizon3.ai is a fast-growing, remote cybersecurity company dedicated to enabling organizations to proactively find, fix, and verify exploitable attack vectors before criminals exploit them. Our autonomous security platform, NodeZero™, uses AI and automation to continuously validate security posture across internal, external, cloud, and hybrid environments, helping enterprises reduce risk and strengthen defenses at scale.
- • We’re a fusion of former U.S. Special Operations cyber operators, startup engineers & operators, and formerly frustrated cybersecurity practitioners. We’re committed to solving common security problems: ineffective tools, false positives and alert fatigue, blind spots, “checkbox” security culture, cybersecurity skills shortages, and the high cost and long lead time of traditional consulting.
- • We are a team of learn-it-alls, committed to a culture of respect, collaboration, ownership, and results.
- • This role offers the opportunity to shape the public voice of a high-impact cybersecurity innovator, work with visionary leaders, and drive measurable impact on brand awareness, mindshare, and pipeline in a mission-critical industry.
🎯 Requirements
- • 8+ years of experience in public relations, corporate communications, or related roles, with meaningful time in B2B technology; cybersecurity experience strongly preferred.
- • Proven track record leading PR and communications for a high-growth SaaS company, ideally in cybersecurity, DevSecOps, or adjacent security markets.
- • Demonstrated success in owning media relationships and securing impactful coverage in relevant trade and business press.
- • Strong skills in strategic messaging, narrative development, and executive storytelling, including experience preparing senior leaders for media, stage, and virtual formats.
- • Excellent writing and editing skills across formats (press releases, op-eds, thought leadership, blog posts, scripts, talking points, FAQs).
- • Experience developing and executing PR strategies in support of product launches, major events (e.g., RSA, Black Hat), and breaking-news rapid response.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Inclusive Team: We value diversity and promote an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.
- • Growth Opportunities: Be part of a dynamic and growing team with numerous career development opportunities.
- • Innovative Culture: Work in a collaborative environment that encourages creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.
- • Remote Work: We are a 100% remote company. Enjoy the convenience and work-life balance that comes with remote work.
- • Competitive Compensation: We offer competitive salary, equity and benefits. Our benefits include health, vision & dental insurance for you and your family, a flexible vacation policy, and generous parental leave.
