Full Job Description
About the Role

As Communications & Marketing Lead, you will be the person who translates our science into impact and makes our mission visible - to researchers, enterprise partners, government agencies, and the public. You'll be embedded with the scientists and engineers doing the work, close enough to understand it and skilled enough to make others understand it too.

This is an early, high-leverage hire. You won't be executing someone else's playbook - you'll be writing it.

What You'll Do

Technical Communications
  • Translate complex work in regulatory genomics, biological AI, and biosecurity into narratives that hold up across audiences - without losing what makes the science interesting
  • Support model releases, research publications, and conference presentations with documentation, summaries, and co-authored content that is precise, accessible, and compelling
  • Help define how Radical Numerics communicates its capabilities, risks, and mitigations to government agencies, national labs, and global health organizations - audiences for whom clarity and credibility are everything
  • Build and maintain internal documentation infrastructure: style guides, knowledge bases, and communication standards

Growth & Marketing
  • Own demand generation across email, content, events, and paid channels to drive awareness and pipeline with enterprise and government audiences
  • Lead Radical Numerics' presence at scientific conferences, industry events, and government forums - from logistics to messaging to post-event follow-through
  • Shape and sharpen our public point of view on biological AI and biosecurity, and own our social and web presence with a strong, consistent voice
  • Leverage modern marketing automation and analytics tools to punch above our headcount

What We're Looking For
  • A track record of strong technical or scientific writing - in industry, academia, a research institution, or a policy organization
  • 3+ years in B2B marketing, growth, or communications, ideally at a technical startup or deep tech company
  • The ability to make hard things clear without making them wrong - you know the difference between simplifying for accessibility and oversimplifying into inaccuracy
  • Sound judgment about how to communicate high-stakes, sensitive, or ambiguous technical topics, including AI capabilities, biosecurity risks, and model limitations
  • High ownership, low ego, and a bias toward action in ambiguous, fast-moving environments

Nice to Have
  • A background in biology, computational science, biosecurity, or a related technical field
  • Experience writing for government, policy, or national security audiences
  • Familiarity with biological AI systems such as Evo, ESM, AlphaFold, or genomic foundation models
  • Published science writing, open-source documentation, or other public work we can read
  • Existing relationships in biosecurity, global health, or science policy communities
