Responsibilities

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. Cogent has unusual raw material for a company this size: original research, Fortune 500 customers, and an engineering team drawn from the frontier AI labs. Your job is to turn that substance into steady coverage, a founder the market recognizes, and a reputation that helps us sell and hire. The AI security news cycle moves in hours, so this is a hands-on seat: you'll set the angles, run the agency, prep executives, and move fast when a story breaks.
Media & Narrative
Own Cogent's earned media strategy: the angles, the story calendar, and the coverage plan for launches, research, and company milestones.
Run the PR agency: set its priorities, sharpen the pitches, and hold the bar on everything that goes out under Cogent's name.
Translate Cogent's work for two audiences at once: security practitioners who will test every claim, and business and AI press who need the stakes in one sentence.
Run rapid response. Watch the conversation across press, X, LinkedIn, and security communities, and when a breach, disclosure, or AI-security story breaks, get Cogent's take into the story while it's live. Content ships the POV piece; you get it cited.
Beyond the Press
Build Cogent's presence where security buyers and AI builders now pay attention: newsletters, podcasts, creators, and the handful of voices each community trusts.
Run creator and influencer partnerships that put Cogent's research and point of view in front of audiences we don't own. Content runs our channels; you get us into everyone else's.
Shape how the AI research community sees Cogent, so the engineers and researchers we want to hire already know the story. Partner with recruiting on the talent narrative.
Executive Visibility
Build the CEO's external presence: podcasts, conference stages, and press interviews that tie a founder to a category.
