You will help senior security leaders understand how OpenAI models, Trusted Access for Cyber, Codex Security, and related workflows can support real defensive work.

• Partner with Product, Research, Security, Policy, Communications, Partnerships, and GTM to coordinate launches, claims, proof points, enablement, and customer-facing guidance.
• Develop campaigns and activation programs spanning launches, blogs, webinars, roundtables, executive briefings, conferences, customer proof, and account-based motions
• Turn customer deployments, vulnerability scans, and partner feedback into approved stories, evidence, ROI narratives, and repeatable industry use cases.
• Serve as the connective tissue for the cybersecurity marketing workstream, keeping priorities, owners, launch readiness, open questions, and executive updates clear.
• Maintain a high bar for accuracy, governance, customer trust, and responsible marketing in a sensitive and fast-moving category.

• Use customer evidence, field signals, product usage, market research, and competitive context to sharpen strategy and prioritize work.
• Have built GTM programs, operating rhythms, or new playbooks in ambiguous, high-velocity environments.
• Bring strong writing, messaging, and editorial judgment, with a high bar for clarity, quality, accuracy, and credibility.
• Are deeply curious about cybersecurity, AI, software development, enterprise adoption, and how new capabilities become meaningful customer value.
