About RapidFort
RapidFort is a cybersecurity company focused on helping organizations secure and optimize their software supply chain and containerized environments. Our platform helps teams reduce software vulnerabilities and attack surface while improving the security and efficiency of modern cloud-native applications.
We work with commercial enterprises and public-sector organizations operating in highly regulated and security-sensitive environments.
The Role
RapidFort is looking for a Public Sector Marketing Manager to lead marketing programs supporting our growing U.S. public-sector business.
This role will sit at the intersection of marketing, sales, partnerships, and our public-sector practice. You will be responsible for translating RapidFort’s technical capabilities into compelling messaging and campaigns for federal agencies, government partners, systems integrators, and the broader public-sector ecosystem.
We’re looking for someone who understands how marketing to the public sector differs from traditional enterprise marketing — including government buying cycles, contract vehicles, partner ecosystems, industry events, and the importance of building credibility within the federal community.
Due to the nature of RapidFort’s U.S. public-sector work and applicable customer and government requirements, candidates for this position must be U.S. citizens.
What You’ll Do
-
Develop and execute RapidFort’s public-sector marketing strategy in partnership with Public Sector leadership, Sales, and the broader Marketing team.
-
Build targeted campaigns designed to generate awareness, engagement, pipeline, and revenue within federal and public-sector accounts.
-
Develop messaging and positioning tailored to government security, DevSecOps, software supply chain, container security, and cloud-native modernization initiatives.
-
Create public-sector-specific content including solution briefs, presentations, case studies, web content, email campaigns, executive communications, and sales enablement materials.
-
Own marketing support for key government and industry conferences, trade shows, roundtables, webinars, and partner events.
-
Work closely with Sales to develop account-based marketing programs for strategic public-sector accounts.
-
Support joint marketing initiatives with technology partners, systems integrators, resellers, and other members of the government ecosystem.
-
Help communicate RapidFort’s capabilities in the context of federal cybersecurity priorities, compliance requirements, and software supply chain initiatives.
-
Develop campaigns around relevant government programs, contract vehicles, partnerships, and customer successes.
-
Coordinate PR, analyst, social media, and thought-leadership opportunities that strengthen RapidFort’s visibility within the public-sector market.
-
Track campaign performance, pipeline contribution, engagement, and ROI, and continuously improve programs based on results.
-
Maintain a public-sector marketing calendar aligned with sales priorities, events, government buying cycles, and company objectives.
What We’re Looking For
-
U.S. citizenship is required for this position.
-
5+ years of B2B marketing experience, with meaningful experience marketing cybersecurity, cloud, infrastructure, DevSecOps, or enterprise technology to the U.S. public sector.
-
Strong understanding of the federal technology and cybersecurity ecosystem.
-
Experience developing marketing programs targeting federal agencies and government decision-makers.
-
Familiarity with government contractors, systems integrators, channel partners, and public-sector procurement environments.
-
Experience creating compelling technical and executive-level content.
-
Strong written communication and storytelling skills with the ability to simplify complex cybersecurity concepts.
-
Experience supporting field events, conferences, webinars, executive programs, and account-based campaigns.
-
Ability to work closely with sales teams and translate field priorities into executable marketing programs.
-
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup environment where you will both develop the strategy and execute it.
-
Highly organized, proactive, and able to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.
Preferred Qualifications
-
Experience marketing cybersecurity or software supply chain security solutions to the federal government.
-
Familiarity with DevSecOps, containers, Kubernetes, software vulnerabilities, SBOMs, and software supply chain security.
-
Understanding of federal cybersecurity initiatives and frameworks, including Zero Trust, NIST guidance, and software supply chain security requirements.
-
Existing relationships or experience within the federal technology, defense, or government-contractor ecosystem.
-
Experience working with public-sector sales teams at a high-growth cybersecurity or infrastructure software company.
