  • Synthesize what you learn into clear direction for the client and team.
• Narrative Strategy:
  • Turn complex information into a differentiated, accessible story.
  • Define audiences, competition, positioning, messaging, naming, and other strategic foundations that help clients communicate clearly and consistently.
• Content Strategy & Copywriting:
  • Create content strategies, outlines, and copy for websites, decks, marketing and sales materials, and other deliverables.
  • Translate highly technical subject matter into compelling content without losing the integrity of the underlying science.
• Client Stewardship:
  • Act as an advocate for the client throughout the project.
  • Manage feedback and revision cycles, keeping project nuances and business objectives in view.
  • Help ensure important information isn’t lost as work moves between teams.
• Collaborate with Scientific Advisors & Designers:
  • Work closely with scientific experts to understand technical subject matter and ensure content accuracy and credibility.
  • Partner with brand and visual designers to ensure strategy and content translate seamlessly into the final work.
  • Help shape information diagrams and data visualizations that balance technical accuracy with clarity.

Qualifications

• You have a strong portfolio that demonstrates your ability to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling content across formats such as websites, decks, brand systems, and marketing or sales materials.
• You’ve worked with complex subject matter, ideally including biotech, life sciences, deep tech, or similarly technical industries.
• You connect content decisions to business objectives, audience needs, positioning, and the larger purpose of the work.
• You genuinely enjoy learning about science and technology and are comfortable diving into unfamiliar, highly technical subject matter.
• You’re comfortable working across disciplines and with teams that may include strategists, scientists, writers, designers, developers, project managers, and client stakeholders.
• You have experience working with creative agencies and/or product teams and understand the process of developing deliverables such as websites, decks, products, and brand identities.

Opportunity

• Time: This role will start as a project-based contract, approximately 10–20 hours per week.
• Growth: After the successful delivery of 2–3 projects, the role has the potential to transition to a full-time position.
• Location: We are remote-first but require ~five hours of working hour overlap with Eastern Time. Meetings typically take place between 12–5 p.m. ET.
• Compensation: We offer fixed-fee budgets for clearly defined projects, such as website and deck content creation, and hourly rates for less-defined or one-off work.
