About Wren Labs

Wren Labs is a multidisciplinary technology company developing biotechnology instruments, laboratory automation, scientific software and advanced manufacturing systems.

We are looking for a physics or chemistry graduate who loves science but wants to build a career in technical writing, content creation, marketing and science communication.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who can understand complex technical subjects and explain them through clear articles, compelling stories, interviews, videos, graphics and marketing materials.

You do not need a traditional marketing background. We are looking for scientific intelligence, strong communication skills, curiosity, creativity and the desire to become an exceptional technical storyteller.

You will create content for several scientific and technology brands, including websites, LinkedIn, newsletters, product materials, customer stories and technical publications.

You will also help develop Founders Field Notes, our editorial platform and future magazine focused on deep technology, science, advanced manufacturing and the people building difficult things.

Initially, this will be a hands-on content-production role. As you demonstrate strong judgment and execution, you can grow into managing editorial strategy, marketing campaigns, contributors, publications and a broader content team.
