Malwarebytes is reimagining security to safeguard devices, data, and people — no matter their location, lifestyle, or means. What began in 2008 with one person helping another remove a malware infection has grown into a global leader in online protection, with an all-in-one suite of cybersecurity, privacy, and identity protection solutions that empower millions of people worldwide to enjoy their digital lives, free from threats and scams.
Our portfolio has grown far beyond malware removal into a full suite of award-winning cybersecurity, privacy, and identity solutions, from the free tools that have long served as a first line of defense to newer options for identity protection and personal data removal. The threat landscape keeps getting faster, stealthier, and more sophisticated, and we believe protection should be both powerful and refreshingly simple — because security that's too hard to use doesn't get used. Built and beloved by experts, we combine world-class threat research with proprietary, AI-powered processes to deliver powerful digital protection that's always by your side.
A Senior Communications Manager to help drive the next chapter of our storytelling. This is a hands-on, mid-level role that splits its focus across two priorities: supporting our robust, well-established PR program, and building and growing an earned creator program that extends our voice to new and engaged audiences.
You'll join a mature communications function with strong media relationships and a steady drumbeat of coverage. On the PR side, you'll help keep that engine running — pitching stories, managing press activity, and supporting our threat research and executive communications. On the creator side, you'll help stand up and scale a program from earlier stages: identifying the right voices in security, tech, and adjacent spaces, building authentic relationships, and turning them into a durable channel for earned reach.
This is a great fit for a communications professional who is equally comfortable working as a reporter and working as a creator — someone who can execute reliably within an established program while bringing entrepreneurial energy to something new.
