Director, Marketing Communications

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.
