Vulnerability response at the speed of AI. Cogent. Backed by Greylock.
About the role
Cogent is building a world-class marketing team, and we're looking for smart, fast, exceptional people who are committed to our mission and bring a spark of creativity that sets us apart from traditional B2B marketing. As the founding communications leader, you'll own how Cogent shows up beyond our own channels: in the press, on podcasts and stages, with the creators and newsletters practitioners follow, and in the moments that define a company's reputation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8-10+ years in communications or PR for B2B tech, with cybersecurity strongly preferred. In-house, or a mix of in-house and agency
- Led communications for funding rounds, acquisitions, and major partnerships for a growth-stage startup
- A record of coverage you drove: launches, funding, and research turned into stories in the security trades and the business press
- You've built a comms program at a small company: wrote the materials yourself, ran the agency, and got real results without a big team or budget
- Sharp news judgment. You know what's a story, what isn't, and how to make one out of real substance without overreaching
- Trusted counsel to executives. You've prepped CEOs for hard interviews and talked them out of the wrong ones
