WHO WE ARE
Come join the company at the center of how the world adopts AI securely. Cyera’s mission is to give enterprises the confidence to embrace AI safely — deciding exactly what it can see and do as it reaches deeper into the business. We started by solving the hardest problem in data security: finding and securing data faster and more precisely than anyone thought possible. That foundation is now the essential AI trust infrastructure for the Fortune 1000. We’re hiring mission-driven talent to put those leaders at the center of our story.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are hiring a Director of Executive Keynotes to shape how Cyera's leaders show up on the biggest stages across Security and AI. You will report to the Head of Brand and Communications and work closely with Cyera’s leadership.
You will build and own the keynote and speaking program from first idea to final slide. You will turn Cyera's research, product vision, and customer proof into talks that move rooms and set the agenda for the category. You will build thought leadership that earns attention and gives our executives a point of view the market remembers.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Executive keynotes. Lead the strategy, narrative, and production of keynotes for our senior leaders. Own the full arc, from theme and story structure to scripts, slides, rehearsal, and delivery. Make every keynote clear, human, and ambitious.
- Speaking at Cyera internal and external events. Build and run the executive speaking program for customer conferences and other flagship events. Shape the main stage program, including opening and closing keynotes, fireside chats, customer sessions, and panels. Work with Events, Product Marketing, and Creative to give every session a place in one coherent story. Coach speakers, including customers and partners, to deliver their best.
- External speaking program. Partner with the External Comms team to support our executive speaking at industry conferences, analyst events, and media forums. Prepare the content for leaders, so they arrive with a sharp message and a clear goal.
- Narrative and message architecture. Keep one platform-level story across Data Security, Agent Security, and Identity Security. Build a living library of core narratives, proof points, customer stories, and data that every executive can draw on. Make sure the message stays consistent from the main stage to the press room.
- Executive partnership. Work closely with executives to learn their voice, strengths, and perspectives. Help each leader develop a distinct point of view that is authentic to them and aligned to Cyera. Give direct, constructive feedback.
