Creative and Brand Lead

The Operations team is a key partner in enabling Biohub’s pioneering work to combine frontier AI with frontier biology to solve disease and Learning Commons’ mission to build AI infrastructure that aligns how students learn with the tools that shape their learning experiences.

Operations includes our Central Tech, Finance, Marketing & Communications, People, and Real Estate / Workplace / Events / Facilities / Security (REWFS) teams. Together, these teams create the systems, programs, and experiences that empower our partners and colleagues across Biohub and Learning Commons to drive impact.

This work requires strategic and operational rigor, creativity, and deep collaboration. Whether designing world-class employee experiences, safeguarding data and infrastructure, or shaping how we communicate our impact, Operations plays a critical role in helping deliver meaningful change at scale.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with teams across product, social, communication
  
• Navigate complex stakeholder environments with clarity and influence
  
• Align creative output with broader organizational priorities
  

Execution & Operations

• Strong experience working with and managing creative agencies
• Proven ability to guide and elevate creative work 
• High creative standards and strong visual judgment
