  • Demonstrated success translating complex scientific, technical, or policy subject matter into compelling narratives for multiple distinct audiences simultaneously
  • Established relationships with top-tier media across science, technology, business, and philanthropy
  • Proven ability to build communications infrastructure from scratch — systems, processes, and partnerships — not just maintain inherited ones
  • Experience developing donor-facing or philanthropic communications for sophisticated investor audiences
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including executive messaging and spokesperson experience
  • Comfort operating in a lean, fast-moving environment where strategic and executional demands coexist.
