Title: Director, Editorial Strategy and Lead Writer

Location: Redwood City, CA (Hybrid)

Job Description:

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was founded by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg in 2015 to help solve some of society’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease and improving education to addressing the needs of our local communities. Our mission is to build a more inclusive, just, and healthy future for everyone.

CZI and its Biohub Network supports the science and technology that will make it possible to help scientists cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of this century. While this may seem like an audacious goal, in the last 100 years, biomedical science has made tremendous strides in understanding biological systems, advancing human health, and treating disease.

Achieving our mission will only be possible if scientists are able to better understand human biology. To that end, we have identified grand challenges that will unlock the mysteries of the cell and how cells interact within systems — paving the way for new discoveries that will change medicine in the decades that follow:

Ourwork in scienceis focused on doing fundamental research to better understand human biology and building the tools and technology to move science forward to prevent disease and get to cures faster. Join us in accelerating science.

As the Director, Editorial Strategy and Lead Writer you will have the opportunity to join a dynamic organization that is driving a new era in biology - AI-powered biology - that will revolutionize understanding of how the human body works and move science forward to cure and prevent disease. We’ve set an audacious mission and we are seeking a highly skilled, self-motivated writer who can help us create impactful narratives that bring our mission to life and to help develop and manage an organization-wide editorial program.

In this role, you will collaborate with teams across the organization to communicate our priority areas, our mission, and the science and technology that is making it possible. You will work closely with science leadership and teams of scientists, engineers and AI and machine learning experts to learn about the research we’re doing and the technology and tools we’re developing and how those efforts are making an impact. This role sits on the Brand and Communications team and reports to CZI’s Vice President of Science Communications.
