• Drive High-Impact Thought Leadership: Transform Fastly’s unique data insights, security research, and technical innovations into proprietary reports, whitepapers, and executive perspectives that capture industry attention.
• Optimize Modern Content Operations: Responsibly integrate generative AI tools into the content workflow to accelerate research, optimize SEO/AEO/GEO variations, and scale content while establishing clear guardrails for accuracy, original thought, and brand voice.
• Manage External Pipelines: Work alongside your team to scale content velocity by cultivating a highly vetted stable of external agencies, technical freelancers, and subject-matter experts.
• Support Flagship Events: Partner with the events and executive teams to ensure the content engine for first-party flagship events deliverables, presentations, and keynotes are high-impact and on-narrative.

• Technical Storytelling Aptitude: A proven ability to interview deep technical experts, decipher complex infrastructure technology, and craft narratives that engage technical personas and business executives.
• Content Operations & Modern Tooling: A proven track record of leveraging generative AI productivity tools responsibly, ensuring editorial integrity, protecting intellectual property, and keeping human creativity at the core of our messaging.
• Design & Copy Collaboration: Experience working closely with creative and design teams, with a sharp eye for how visual layout and copy work together to improve readability and engagement.
• Agency & Freelance Management: Proven success in sourcing, briefing, and managing external technical writers and agencies to deliver multi-medium projects on time and within budget.
