Job description

Summary SecureW2 is a small but rapidly-scaling cybersecurity startup looking for a social media and communications lead who can master best practices on LinkedIn while also deftly managing an external comms drumbeat with our PR agency.

You’ll also be responsible for occasional press releases, prepping execs for interviews, and working with our content team to deliver press materials.
