Summary Generated by Built In

Colossal Biosciences is seeking a creative mind with a strong writing background to bring voice to the brand. This role will bring to life the story of the world’s first de-extinction company.

While creative experience in the advertising and/or marketing world are a major benefit, this role is distinctly different from many consumer-facing brands in that rather than focusing on clever, quippy writing, this role will need to help break down complex science into interesting, attention grabbing pieces that encourage audience engagement with the brand.
