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.

- A record of building keynotes and executive narratives for major stages. Experience with flagship events such as Dreamforce, Team, RSA, or similar is a plus.
- Exceptional writing and storytelling craft. You can draft, edit, and shape a story yourself and raise the work of others.
- Experience building thought leadership programs that earned real reach, whether through speaking, bylines, media, or social.

- The ability to turn complex technical ideas into clear, human language that earns credibility with CISOs and boards.
- AI fluency. You know where AI tools fit in research, drafting, and production, and you use them to raise quality and speed together.
- Stakeholder skills. You build trust across marketing, product, sales, research, and executive teams, and you hold a point of view while balancing competing priorities.
- Operating principles that match ours (push boundaries, own and act, elevate together) and a collaborative style that matches ours.
- Willingness to travel for events, about 20 to 30 percent of the time.
