About Adaptive Security

Adaptive is a cybersecurity startup on a mission to stop AI-powered cyberattacks, founded by Brian Long and Andrew Jones—proven entrepreneurs behind Attentive (Forbes Cloud 100, $10B+ valuation) and TapCommerce (acquired by Twitter). In April 2025, Adaptive raised $43M, led by a16z and the OpenAI Fund, marking OpenAI's first-ever cybersecurity investment.

As generative AI drives new cyber threats, Adaptive is building the defense layer every organization needs. Our platform combines personalized security training, AI-driven attack simulations, and automated threat triage, all powered by the Adaptive Risk Intelligence Engine to quantify human risk at the individual level. Trusted by top banks, tech companies, and healthcare organizations, we protect teams from emerging threats like deepfakes, smishing, and voice scams. With a solid product foundation and a $200B+ market to transform, we're just getting started.

The Role

Adaptive is hiring a Lead, Video Content: a self-starting creative powerhouse who will lead video strategy and execution from concept to publish. You’ll own the entire video lifecycle: scripting, shooting, directing, editing, animating, and distributing. From high-impact customer testimonials and launch trailers to behind-the-scenes interviews and social-first content, your work will define Adaptive’s voice in motion.

You’ll collaborate with founders, marketers, designers, and engineers to tell the story of Adaptive, our product, and our customers through video. You’ll also develop creative strategies for short-form content across LinkedIn, TikTok, and Twitter, turning our mission into must-watch moments.

This is a full-stack production role with massive ownership—and the chance to build something lasting from scratch.
