Full Job Description
The Team

The Biohub Communications team shapes how the world understands our science, our people, and our mission. We partner with researchers, engineers, and leaders across Biohub to tell stories that make cutting-edge science accessible, inspire collaboration, and highlight the breakthroughs that are advancing our understanding of biology and disease.

Our team brings together expertise in media relations, brand, content, creative, digital communications, and social media to engage audiences ranging from the global scientific community to policymakers, partners, and the public. We believe the most impactful communications are grounded in curiosity, creativity, and scientific integrity-and we use storytelling to build trust, spark conversation, and amplify the discoveries that have the potential to transform human health.

As part of the Marketing & Communications organization, you'll collaborate with a talented, mission-driven team that values experimentation, thoughtful strategy, and bold ideas. Together, we're building a distinctive voice for Biohub that reflects the ambition of our science and the people behind it.
The Opportunity

The Biohub social media team is looking for a Senior Social Content Strategist to help bring Biohub's brand and mission to life through engaging creative and stories across social channels. This role reports to the head of social media and will be a part of the larger Marketing and Comms organization where you'll have the resources and guidance you need to do your best work.

You're someone who's genuinely plugged into social media - you know what's working on X LinkedIn, and Instagram right now, and you have instincts for turning complex, technical material into content that people actually want to engage with. You'll create content across our owned channels, translating ambitious science into stories that are clear and compelling.

This is a hands-on creation and strategic storytelling role. You'll be brainstorming ideas, shooting and editing video, writing copy, and helping shape our social calendar day to day.
What You'll Do

Creative Content Ideation and Creation
  • Brainstorm, shoot, edit, and produce social-first content across formats - short-form video, carousels, photos
  • Embody the Biohub social voice and tone and ensure content aligns with brand style and creative standards
  • Translate the innovative scientific and technical work that the team at Biohub is leading and turn it into engaging social-first content
  • Keep a pulse on social trends, new features, and algorithm changes to ensure content feels timely and native to each platform
  • Monitor content performance and manage community engagement

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with the social media, creative/brand, and science communication teams to source and shape content
  • Work with Biohub scientists and staff to surface stories, milestones, and moments worth sharing
  • Capture content and provide occasional on-the-ground social support at events, launches, and conferences
What You'll Bring
  • 4+ years of experience creating, editing, and publishing social-first content, preferably at a brand or agency
  • Ability to take complex topics and translate them into engaging content
  • Understanding of how content should be tailored for specific platforms, especially LinkedIn, X, and Instagram
  • Familiarity with design and editing tools (e.g., Adobe Suite, Canva, CapCut, or native in-app tools)
  • Strong writing skills and an eye for how copy and visuals work together
  • An interest in science, technology, or mission-driven work - you don't need a science background, but you're curious and willing to learn
  • Ability to work across a fast-moving, cross-functional environment with multiple stakeholders
