Job Description

Who are we?

At UpGuard, we are replacing manual security bottlenecks with AI-driven precision. Fresh off a US$75M Series C, we are scaling our infrastructure to process 100 billion risk signals daily. This isn’t just growth; it’s a total reimagining of how the world manages cyber risk.

We build the Cyber Risk Posture Management (CRPM) platform that security teams actually love. By integrating security ratings, threat intel, and agentic AI, we empower organisations to stay ahead of an ever evolving attack surface.

We aren’t just building another tool; we’re defining a category. We provide the autonomy to ship world-class technology and the resources to do it at a global scale.

The Marketing team at UpGuard includes multiple marketing and design functions, including Product Marketing, Demand Gen, Marketing Ops, Content Marketing, SEO, Community, Design, and Video. UpGuard’s vision is to become a leader in the markets we play in (Cyber VRM, Attack Surface Management) by providing a best-in-class SaaS platform for organisations to manage their third-party risk and external attack surface. Our purpose as a Marketing team is to facilitate this goal by growing UpGuard with a repeatable and scalable marketing engine and a leading brand.

Where does this role fit in?

You'll be a critical member of a product-aligned Marketing Squad, serving as the creative and operational engine that fuels our high-impact campaigns. Based out of South Africa and reporting to the Content Writer Manager, this role is the voice of your assigned product, transforming core messaging into compelling narratives and ensuring they successfully reach our audience.

This role is paramount for ensuring our marketing efforts convey Authority & Trust. You are responsible for executing the content strategy developed by the Campaign Manager and PMM, ensuring the core campaign message is adapted, built, and delivered flawlessly across all distribution channels—from website content and direct emails to social media and sales enablement materials.
