  • Orchestrate co-created moments: AMAs, roundtables, briefings, interviews, guest threads, and research spotlights that elevate Lila leaders.

Requirements

  • Proven ability to organically grow executive and brand followings in technical/scientific spaces.
  • Strong writing and editorial judgment for technical audiences.
  • Comfort operating in public technical discourse, including disagreement and skepticism.
  • Enough marketing fluency to align with brand and comms strategy, plus the independence to run the social/community engine day to day.

Preferred

  • Existing networks across AI-for-science, robotics, open-source, academia, national labs, or government-adjacent science/tech communities.
  • Experience supporting executives or founders as thought leaders (voice, cadence, engagement strategy).
