We’re seeking a Senior Communications Manager to strengthen 1Password’s position as a trusted authority for identities, credentials, and access across modern organizations, including the people and agents they rely on.
This role will shape clear, credible narratives about identity and access management, unified access, and the role of AI in the future of security. Through media relations, contributed content, events, speaking engagements, and rapid response, this person will build trust with developer, business, and security audiences.
The ideal candidate brings technical fluency, a strong understanding of the security market, and the ability to translate complex ideas into compelling communications that advance 1Password’s technical credibility and strategic ambition.
This role reports to the Director of Communications.
On the Marketing team, we’re growing our AI capability together and redesigning how work gets done. We’ve built agents to improve workflows focused on competitive intelligence, content creation, and campaign planning, helping us stay sharp, reduce context-switching, and surface the right information at the right time. AI helps us coordinate, execute, and uncover insights faster so we can spend more time on what’s most important: performance, judgement, and driving the future of 1Password.
