We are looking for a Security Communications and Training Specialist to join the security awareness team. This role sits at the intersection of executive communications, training delivery, and human risk reduction - producing board-ready materials for senior leadership while designing and delivering training programs that reach employees across the organization.
This is a hands-on training and communications role, not a phishing-simulation or campaign-management position
Required Qualifications
- Executive-ready written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated experience preparing polished, error-free materials for senior leadership
- Direct, hands-on experience designing and delivering formal training programs - structured curriculum, roadshows, or live sessions - to large groups. Experience limited to phishing or social-engineering simulation and campaign management does not satisfy this requirement, regardless of program scale
- Demonstrated ability to translate complex or risk-related concepts into calm, actionable language, without fear-based messaging
- PowerPoint or equivalent presentation software proficiency, demonstrated through materials actually produced in past roles - not simply listed as a skill. Materials must be genuinely produced by the candidate, not generated wholesale by AI tools
- Genuine, primary specialization in social engineering, security awareness, or human risk - not a general compliance, governance, or audit background where this appears as a minor or recently added item. Recent, current experience is preferred over experience that ended several years ago
- Comfort with data analysis and reporting sufficient for board-level metrics presentation
- A stable recent work history. Candidates with multiple short tenures (under approximately 12 months) in the last 2-3 years should have a clear, verifiable reason - this is confirmed directly before submission
Preferred Qualifications
- Background in security communications, cybersecurity awareness, or compliance and risk communications
- Familiarity with social engineering awareness platforms (Doppel, Mirage, KnowBe4, Proofpoint)
- Comfortable using AI tools for content creation on the job, while also able to produce material independently without relying on AI
- Experience in energy, utilities, or other regulated industries
- SQL or advanced data analysis skills
- Candidates from technical security engineering or architecture backgrounds are welcome to apply, provided training delivery and executive communication are also independently demonstrated - this is not a purely technical role
