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.

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.
