A clinical-stage AI company, Cellular Intelligence holds the global rights to STEM-PD, an investigational Phase 2-ready cell therapy for Parkinson's disease with FDA Fast Track designation, acquired from Novo Nordisk. The company's founding team includes repeat AI entrepreneur Micha Breakstone, Ph.D. ([Chorus.ai](http://Chorus.ai), acquired for $575M), the Head of the Fundamental AI Group at MIT, and five professors from Harvard Medical School, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Washington, collectively holding five National Academy memberships. Based in Boston, Cellular Intelligence has raised over $70M from Khosla Ventures, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Novo Nordisk, AMD Ventures, and others. Cellular Intelligence’s Core Values - We show up - fully accountable, all-in, doing whatever it takes. - We act with urgency - swift, decisive, proactive. - We support one another - collaborative, helpful, empathetic. Location: Boston, Austin, or San Fransico Reports to: Chief Marketing Officer About the role: We're looking for a MarCom Director to help run marketing and communications day to day: an opinionated operator who can help turn strategy into a running machine, get the best work out of top-shelf vendors, and drive creative output to the highest standard. You'll keep workstreams and partners moving in harmony, quarterback our biggest moments end to end, and help make the company look and feel bigger and more established than its size and stage at every turn. Part architect and part athlete, the right candidate doesn’t wait to be told what to do. We want someone with strong, experience-grounded instincts and the confidence to act on them; someone who can take a general direction and make it real across every audience and channel without constant oversight. Responsibilities: - Run the operating rhythm. Stand up and own the systems everything routes through: tasks, owners, stakeholders, statuses, and deadlines across web, social, media, bus dev / partnering support, events, and internal communications. Anyone in our orbit should be working from the same source of truth. - Orchestrate agencies and vendors. Bring multiple PR agencies, creative, web, social, and specialist contractors together as one coordinated team rather than separate workstreams. Run the kickoffs and syncs, hold the lanes, and enable top-shelf partners to do their best work. - Own our biggest moments end to end. Drive major announcements (transactions, partnerships, funding, program milestones) and major company events, including the convergence moments where news and events land at once. Build in global coordination and sequencing (US, Denmark, Israel, and others) from the start. - Conceive and execute events that punch above our weight. Envision, plan, and run company events, hosted symposiums, convenings, and conference activations that make CI feel bigger than its stage. Own the full arc from concept (goal, audience, format, point of view) through build, run-of-show, and follow-through. Treat every event as a chance to outclass companies several times our size. - Hold the creative bar. Review and elevate copy, visuals, and campaign work to a standard that ships without extensive rework or creative thrashing. Know the difference between fine, excellent and exemplary, and push to the latter. - Translate the story across every touchpoint. Take our core narrative and make it land across web, social, media, events, and partner-facing surfaces, with the right signal for each audience. This is where most of the day-to-day lives. - Own asset readiness. Treat make-or-break copy and visuals as deliverables with their own deadlines, baked, reviewed and bought into before go time rather than built in a scramble. - Sustain an always-on presence. Keep social channels, website, and content stream alive and engaging between the big moments so the audience never drifts. Qualifications: - Director-level experience running marketing and/or communications, with a track record of owning execution end to end rather than contributing pieces. - A career built on two strengths: sophisticated corporate marketing at a company where the work was genuinely top-tier, and time in a deep-tech or frontier-science industry (AI strongly preferred). Fluent in both the craft of high-end marketing and the substance of hard science. - Love of brands and brand-building; you understand brand architecture and have participated in the development and activation of at least 1-2 strong brand programs. - A track record conceiving and executing high-caliber events and experiential activations that punch far above the company’s weight class. - Proven experience managing and directing top-shelf creative, PR, and specialist agencies to deliver world-class, premium output under pressure. - Strong creative judgment: you can brief, direct, and evaluate creative work, while balancing the preferences of demanding stakeholders. - A portfolio or body of work that is visibly a cut above category norm. - Comfort operating alongside frontier-AI and biopharma partners and national press as a credible peer. About you: - Opinionated, not just organized. You have views and you voice them, including upward. Smooth and on-time is table stakes; surfacing the thing nobody wants to say is the actual job. - A self-sufficient creative force. You raise the bar without needing someone above you to catch what's off. - An event-producer at heart. You look at a room and an agenda and instinctively think about how to fill the room with the right people, how to make it unforgettable, and how to make CI feel bigger than it is. - Comfortable at altitude. We're playing in a serious league, and you belong in it without straining. - An operator at the core. You like building the machine, the rhythm, the system, the coordination, and you're energized rather than drained by keeping many fast-moving parts in sync. Cellular Intelligence is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We welcome and encourage applicants from all backgrounds, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or age. We embrace differences and believe that a diverse workforce enhances our creativity, innovation, and overall success. ## About Cellular Intelligence ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Cellular Intelligence is an AI-native TechBio company building the first universal virtual cell-signaling model to decode and control the complex language of cells. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A; total funding ~$62M) - **Headquarters**: Boston, Massachusetts, United States - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Micha Breakstone (CEO & co-founder), Allon Klein (Scientific co-founder), Olivier Pourquié (Scientific co-founder), Jay Shendure (Scientific co-founder), Cliff Tabin (Scientific co-founder) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Biotechnology Research / AI-driven drug discovery and regenerative medicine - **Target customers**: B2B – pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, academic research institutions - **Mission/Purpose**: To transform biology into a predictive engineering discipline, enabling in silico control of cellular behavior for therapeutic discovery and disease modeling. ## Products & Services - **Capsule Data Engine**: Proprietary platform that generates dynamic cellular data at over 1,000x higher efficiency than existing methods.
