Formation Bio is a tech and AI driven pharma company differentiated by radically more efficient drug development.
Advancements in AI and drug discovery are creating more candidate drugs than the industry can progress because of the high cost and time of clinical trials. Recognizing that this development bottleneck may ultimately limit the number of new medicines that can reach patients, Formation Bio, founded in 2016 as TrialSpark Inc., has built technology platforms, processes, and capabilities to accelerate all aspects of drug development and clinical trials. Formation Bio partners, acquires, or in-licenses drugs from pharma companies, research organizations, and biotechs to develop programs past clinical proof of concept and beyond, ultimately helping to bring new medicines to patients. The company is backed by investors across pharma and tech, including a16z, Sequoia, Sanofi, Thrive Capital, John Doerr, Spark Capital, SV Angel Growth, and others.

About the Position
Formation Bio is building the pharma company of the future, where drugs are developed more efficiently and with greater probability of success than at any other pharma company that came before it — and we're looking for someone who can help tell that story to the world.
This is a role for someone with strong horsepower: a chronically online, deeply opinionated communications mind who knows the media landscape inside out. You read everything. You know which journalists are worth a pitch and which Substackers and tweeters are shaping how the industry thinks. You understand that a founder's tweet, a long-form essay, a bright graphic, and a regulatory milestone press release are completely different instruments, and you know how to play all of them.
You operate with great taste and discipline. Pharma is a highly regulated industry where the wrong word in the wrong place can have real consequences — but you understand how to take creative risks within that reality.
You'll work directly with the Head of Brand & Communications and with Formation Bio's co-founders — helping translate a novel vision for what drug development can be into narrative, presence, and momentum across every channel that matters.
