Editorial and Content Manager

Science is a clinical stage, vertically integrated technology company focused on solving some of neuroscience’s hardest questions and most serious unmet medical needs. We work to restore quality of life to those with debilitating conditions for which there are no treatment options, creating devices aimed at restoring vision, cognition, and mobility to patients who have lost it. To support progress across our industry, we provide state-of-the-art components and vertically integrated infrastructure for others to build on via Science Foundry.

We are seeking an Editorial & Content lead to serve as Science's journalist in residence - the person whose job is to know everything interesting happening inside this company, and turn this into stories told through a scientific lens that is accessible to a broad audience.  Across retinal implants, brain-computer interfaces, biohybrid research, perfusion technology, and Foundry, Science has no shortage of remarkable stories to tell. This role is the content engine that brings them to light.

This person is foremost an exceptional writer, but the job is bigger than writing: it's story mining across every discipline at Science, earning the trust of scientists and engineers, distilling complex work into accessible narratives, and shaping those stories across written and video formats with the speed of a newsroom. They will own how Science speaks - our brand voice across the company and its sub-brands. We are looking for someone who has  a reporter's instincts, a writer's craft, and genuine fascination with neural engineering, motivated by making frontier science accessible to the most people possible.

Role responsibilities:

• Story mine continuously across Science - meet regularly with teams across engineering, clinical, research, and operations to keep a finger on the pulse of the company and surface stories before anyone thinks to pitch them
• Earn the trust of scientists and engineers, building the relationships and credibility needed to get access to work in progress and report on it accurately
• Distill complex scientific and technical concepts into clear, accessible storytelling
• Write across formats and produce a high volume of written content: blog posts, long-form features, social copy, scripts, announcements, and executive communications
• Shape stories into video: develop concepts, treatments, and scripts, collaborating with a video producer through final delivery
• Own Science's brand voice - codify how we speak across audiences and personas, and extend that voice coherently across our sub-brands
• Move at the speed of news: turn milestones, publications, and industry moments into published content in hours and days, not weeks
• Report with rigor and accuracy - fact-check, verify with subject matter experts, and uphold the editorial standard for everything external
• Serve as the editorial pass on company written content, raising the quality of writing across the organization
• Use AI tools aggressively to scale drafting, repurposing, and research, while remaining the human tastemaker for what ships

Key qualifications:

• Background as a journalist, news reporter, or speechwriter - trained to find the story, get it right, and file on deadline
• Exceptional writing and editing ability, with a portfolio demonstrating range across formats and subjects
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex scientific, medical, or technical material for general audiences
• Experience developing brand voice - defining how an organization speaks across personas and turning that voice into a range of written collateral
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally and build trust with technical experts as sources
• Comfort producing at high velocity and frequency in a fast-moving environment
• Genuine interest in neural engineering and science, and in making it accessible to the widest possible audience
• Fluency with AI writing and content tools, with clear judgment about where they help and where editorial taste takes over

Preferred qualifications: 

• Newsroom or wire-service experience covering science, health, or technology
• Experience shaping video storytelling - concepting, scripting, or working embedded with video production teams
• Speechwriting or executive communications experience
• Experience managing brand voice across multiple brands or product lines
• A body of public work: bylines, a newsletter, a column, or published features
