Director, Brand & Communications

Responsibilities

• Brand Operations - 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
• Be the internal authority on brand standards, with the credibility and communication skills to bring the rest of the organization along

Requirements

• You follow the AI and founder conversations in real time, have strong opinions, and can place Formation Bio precisely within it across every channel that matters: legacy press, Substack, X, podcasts, and whatever comes next
• Exceptional writer across formats - press materials, op-eds, executive briefings, brand narratives - with the range to shift register completely depending on audience
• Deep knowledge of the media landscape: the reporters, substackers, newsletters, and podcasts shaping how tech and biotech thinks
• Comfortable working directly with founders, translating vision into external narrative with minimal hand-holding and maximum judgment
• High-ownership operator who manages multiple workstreams with minimal supervision and treats ambiguity as a creative problem, not a grievance
• Demonstrated track record with AI tools and systems in day-to-day work - this is a baseline expectation
• Background in product marketing, life sciences, or high-touch branded experiences is a strong plus; startup experience strongly preferred
