Responsibilities

• Own media relations across the full spectrum — legacy press, trade media, new media, and influential independent voices (substackers, newsletter writers, podcast hosts) — with a sharp view of who moves the needle and why
• Build and maintain real relationships with journalists, editors, and media figures covering AI, biotech, pharma, and the broader tech and founder ecosystem — not a contact list, actual relationships
• Drive PR and communications strategy around our pipeline drug assets, from scientific and regulatory milestones to patient and policy initiatives, op-eds, and external events — understanding that each moment requires a different kind of storytelling
• Maintain a living, actionable read on the media landscape — tracking coverage, emerging narratives, and the voices that are gaining influence — so our communications strategy is always ahead, not reactive
• Work directly with the Head of Brand & Communications and co-founders on executive positioning and thought leadership, with the judgment to identify the right platform, the right moment, and the right angle
• Support planning and execution of external brand initiatives such as investor events, conferences, branded experiences, and our presence in the pharma and AI conversation, with the taste and operational rigor to make them land flawlessly
• Collaborate with the People team on talent brand workstreams, including content and events that attract the best talent across pharma and AI
• Partner with our Content team - both strategically and in the weeds - on written, video, web, and social to advance brand goals
• Maintain and evolve internal brand resources — guidelines, design libraries, tools, and norms — so every team can represent Formation Bio accurately and confidently
• Build AI-powered systems and workflows that raise the speed, consistency, and quality of output across the function — this is table stakes, not a stretch goal
