Flagship Ventures is hiring: Digital Content Manager in Cambridge

Job description

Digital Content Manager

Flagship Pioneering invents and builds companies that change the world.

We bring together the greatest scientific minds with entrepreneurial company builders and assemble the capital to allow them to courageous leaps.

Those big leaps in human health, sustainability and beyond exponentially accelerate scientific progress in areas ranging from cancer detection and treatment and nature-positive agriculture to novel applications of AI that are driving the creation of new technologies.

What sets Flagship apart is our ability to advance science and technology by uniting innovation, company creation, and capital investment under one roof in a way that is largely without precedent.

Our scientific founders, entrepreneurial leaders, and professional capital managers are each aligned around an institutionalized process that enables us to innovate and transform for the benefit of people and planet.

Many of the companies Flagship has founded have addressed humanity's most urgent challenges: vaccinating billions of people against COVID-19, curing intractable diseases, improving human health, preempting illness, and feeding the world by improving the resiliency and sustainability of agriculture.

Flagship has been recognized twice on FORTUNE's Change the World list, an annual ranking of companies that have made a positive social and environmental impact through activities that are part of their core business strategies, and has been twice named to Fast Company's annual list of the World's Most Innovative Companies.
