Develop and lead all communication strategies for a $720M private foundation, to brand the Burroughs Wellcome Fund as the North American leader in supporting basic biomedical research, spur career development for early career researchers and grow the next generation of scientists through innovative science outreach to students and teachers. This effort is based in the understanding that clear, effective communication is the key to reaching key audiences and to supporting the change the Fund intends on creating through its grantmaking. The work includes creating and guiding a comprehensive communications, marketing and branding strategy; aligning work across internal staff and external consultants, writers, vendors, and subject matter experts; researching and implementing innovative print and digital media strategies for optimal content delivery and impact; growing the capacity of scientists to connect with audiences through connective communications training; and representing the Burroughs Wellcome Fund at state, national, and international forums.
