## About the role

Where We Hire Formation Bio is prioritizing hiring in key hubs, primarily the New York City and Boston metro areas, with a hybrid model requiring 3 days per week in office. Applicants from the Research Triangle (NC) and San Francisco Bay Area may also be considered. Please apply only if you reside in these locations or are willing to relocate .

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years in brand, communications, or a related field — ideally in-house at a tech company or VC — with real exposure to media relations and external brand work
- 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
