Reports to: VP, Brand

Location: Remote

Compensation Range: $210,000 to $225,000 base, plus bonus, and equity

What We Do:

Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. That pushes defenders like us to operate at the highest level, and it deepens our need for good people who want to make a meaningful impact.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress is a remote-first team working to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes. We work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers' protection.

Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 11M identities worldwide. Those numbers keep growing because more businesses rely on us to help carry the load and operate with more confidence. Every day, you can see that commitment in how we stand with our customers and how we show up for each other.

What You’ll Do:

Huntress is growing fast—and we need a bold, media-savvy communications leader to match that momentum. As Senior Director of PR & Communications, you'll develop and execute a comprehensive communications strategy that aligns with our business objectives and establishes Huntress as the defining voice in cybersecurity. You'll craft narratives that showcase our security DNA, our human-plus-AI innovation, and the expertise of our team and community—leveraging both traditional and emerging media to grow the business and shape how the market perceives Huntress.

This is a highly visible, strategic role with direct partnership across the C-suite. We're looking for a narrative driver with a prominent voice and bold vision—someone who leads from the front as a player-coach, doing the work alongside a thriving team of PR and communications professionals and a network of global agencies. Together, you'll run an industry-leading PR program that amplifies breaking news, threat research, and adversary tactics—while driving awareness for the Huntress brand, the Huntress Agentic Security Platform, and the industry-defining expertise of our top cybersecurity leaders and researchers, and fostering key relationships with press, analysts, influencers, and the media and investment communities.

Responsibilities:

Own short- and long-term communication strategy as Huntress scales toward IPO, partnering with executive and finance teams to build an investor relations program and communicating PR's impact through clear goals, KPIs, and share of voice benchmarks that demonstrate real business value.
Lead, develop, and inspire a team of PR and communications professionals, fostering a high-performance culture that rewards craft, urgency, and creative ambition—while managing agency relationships across North America, EMEA, and APAC to ensure our narrative and positioning land consistently across global markets.
Build and own a speaker bureau that positions Huntress experts as go-to resources in the press, at industry events, and in key analyst conversations—developing lasting relationships between top analysts, influencers, and our technical SMEs.
Partner with internal thought leaders and subject matter experts to develop strategic narratives, bold POVs, and thought leadership that drives conversation across the industry—and constantly hunt for the stories living inside the company that go beyond product launches.
Own crisis communications planning and readiness, developing a resilient response framework so Huntress is always prepared to educate, inform, and protect when industry incidents arise.
Support internal and external corporate communications, as well as employment brand strategy and execution, ensuring a consistent and compelling Huntress voice across every audience.
Set clear PR goals and report performance against KPIs and business targets—managing an annual share of voice and brand awareness benchmark to track impact and demonstrate PR's role in moving buyers through the journey.

What You Bring To The Team:

10+ years of experience developing communications, press, and analyst relations programs that deliver measurable impact—with demonstrated operational rigor running proactive and reactive PR strategies across North America and international regions.
A player-coach through and through: you lead by example, roll up your sleeves alongside your team, and know when to delegate and when to be hands-on.
Media-savvy with a strong understanding of how to orchestrate narratives across paid, owned, and earned channels—including podcasts, blogs, and niche digital platforms that reach the audiences that matter—backed by long-standing relationships with journalists and a healthy book of contacts ready to amplify Huntress's voice.
Exceptional written communication skills across the full spectrum—press releases, media pitches, bylined articles, blog posts, keynotes, and executive communications—paired with experience in interview prep and coaching, including briefing documents that guide SMEs through conversations with press, analysts, and potential investors.
Proven experience in B2B SaaS or tech environments delivering high-impact communications strategies, with established relationships with key cybersecurity analysts and press strongly preferred.
Experience scaling communications at a high-growth company in a competitive industry; experience leading strategy through IPO is a strong plus, and a background in cybersecurity or threat detection is a significant advantage—this space moves fast and domain fluency matters.
Demonstrated ability to build and grow thriving PR programs with the operational discipline to manage teams, agencies, and budgets across multiple regions while keeping quality and consistency high.
