Over the past year, Underscore has built the foundation for a stronger marketing and new business engine, including a refreshed brand and positioning, a redesigned website, a defined ideal client profile, HubSpot infrastructure, an earned media program, and a growing portfolio of events and experiences designed to connect us with leaders across biopharma.

This role will also help shape experiences, including our Rare Company Dinner series, which will be held at least four times in 2027. The manager will work on invitations, follow-ups, venue management, and ensuring we deliver premium, valuable experiences for senior leaders in biopharma.

Internally, this person will help lead the communications that keep our people informed, connected, and engaged, including managing our monthly Town Halls and maintaining our online communication hub.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is equally comfortable:

• Developing a content calendar
• Interviewing a media expert for a case study
• Building a HubSpot campaign
• Preparing a Town Hall
• Supporting an industry event

• Strong PowerPoint skills required.

Requirements
