Vice President, Science Communications - Redwood City, United States - Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
Description
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was founded by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg in 2015 to help solve some of society's toughest challenges - from eradicating disease and improving education to addressing the needs of our local communities. Our mission is to build a more inclusive, just, and healthy future for everyone.
The Team
CZI supports the science and technology that will make it possible to cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of this century. While this may seem like an audacious goal, in the last 100 years, biomedical science has made tremendous strides in understanding biological systems, advancing human health, and treating disease.
We build open-source software tools to accelerate science and generate more accurate and biologically important sources of data. We fund scientific research worldwide to advance the frontiers of knowledge. And we launched a family of institutes to do research that can't be done in conventional environments. Each aspect is essential to our approach to building for the long term.
CZI's work in science includes grantmaking programs, open-source software development, and close collaboration with its partner institutes at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network. The CZ Biohub Network includes the San Francisco, Chicago, and New York Biohubs as well as the Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Institute. CZI also collaborates with institutional partners like the Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural & Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University. Join us in accelerating science.
This role sits on the Brand and Communications team and reports to CZI's Head of Brand and Communications. In this role, you will partner closely with other senior science leaders throughout CZI and our network of scientific institutes known as the Biohub Network, coordinating and planning integrated communications and nontraditional storytelling opportunities across these interconnected organizations.
The Opportunity
The Vice President of Science Communications role at CZI is an opportunity for an accomplished senior communications professional to lead a science communications team for a fast-paced and innovative philanthropic organization. CZI's mission for science is to support the science and technology that will make it possible to cure, prevent or manage all diseases by the end of the century. As part of the Brand and Communications team, you will help build trust, credibility and engagement to inspire the world and the scientific community to champion and contribute to that mission.
What You'll Do
The Redwood City, CA base pay range for this role is $297,000 - $475,000. New hires are typically hired into the lower portion of the range, enabling employee growth in the range over time. Actual placement in range is based on job-related skills and experience, as evaluated throughout the interview process. Pay ranges outside Redwood City are adjusted based on cost of labor in each respective geographical market. Your recruiter can share more about the specific pay range for your location during the hiring process.
