Field & Event Marketing Manager

Field & Event Marketing Manager Join to apply for the Field & Event Marketing Manager role at Riot. Base pay range We're a product-first team on a mission to help grow the cybersecurity culture 🔐. We want to instill cybersecurity good practices to employees in a way that's actually effective, and entertaining enough so that employees don't feel like they're working. Think Duolingo but for cybersecurity. We created a platform to easily rollout a cybersecurity awareness program: the platform sends chat‑based 4‑minute‑long courses to teams. Following the courses, the other side of the platform simulates phishing attacks, to prepare employees to face hackers — but in a safe environment. Created in 2020, Riot has raised $45 m with top‑notch investors (Y Combinator, Base10, Funders Club and Frst Capital), and is now protecting more than 2 000 000 employees in over 2 000 companies (including Intercom, Deel and Deezer) all over the world. Cybersecurity is everywhere. It's impacting everyone, everyday, and it's becoming the number one risk to any organization, whether it's a small business or a big firm. Yet, the cybersecurity culture in most companies is a disaster. Hackers are leveraging this by targeting the weakest link: the employees. We're on a mission to fix that.
