OPSWAT, a global leader in IT, OT, and ICS critical infrastructure cybersecurity, delivers an end-to-end platform that gives public and private sector organizations and enterprises the critical advantage needed to protect their complex networks, secure their devices, and ensure compliance. Over the last 20 years our commitment to innovative technology has earned the trust of more than 1,700 organizations, governments, and institutions globally, solidifying our role in protecting the world’s critical infrastructure and securing our way of life.
The Role
Our story is bigger than the mission alone. It includes the MetaDefender™ Platform, a portfolio of solutions built for specific industries and use cases, as well as our brand work: documentary series, films, books, and global campaigns that earn attention most cybersecurity companies never get.
You won't market the products directly because product marketing owns that responsibility. However, all of it is part of one story. Your role is to ensure that story reaches the right audience through disciplined paid media execution and campaign operations.
You are the operator who owns that discipline for brand. You build and run the paid campaigns that put our brand work in front of the right people, on YouTube, across Google, on Reddit, and on the cybersecurity and industrial publications our audience reads. You own the measurement behind it: tracking, landing pages, reporting, and the dashboards that tell us what's working. You understand what happens after the click well enough to ensure leads enter our systems correctly and can be tracked throughout their lifecycle, even though pipeline generation is not your quota.
You'll work closely with our creative, video, web, and events teams in the US, Europe, and Asia, and with our finance and marketing operations functions. You'll inherit live campaigns and existing reporting on day one, including work built by an external paid media specialist, and you'll be the person who makes it run better.
This is a hands-on role. You build the campaigns yourself.
What You Will Be Doing
Paid media
- Plan, build, launch, and optimize paid campaigns for brand initiatives across YouTube, Google Display and Demand Gen, Reddit, and programmatic or direct buys on cybersecurity, OT/IT and industrial trade publications.
- Own targeting, bidding, creative rotation, frequency management, budget pacing, and geographic strategy across North America, EMEA, and APJ.
- Manage media budgets with discipline: forecast, pace, reconcile, and report spend against plan every week.
- Run structured tests across destinations, creative assets, audiences, and channels with predefined success criteria, and discontinue underperforming initiatives.
