Job description
Multiply Labs is a robotics company on a mission to solve a significant bottleneck in modern medicine: the manufacturing of life-saving advanced biologics, from gene and cell therapies to antibodies and more.
Today, these therapies are produced through manual, labor-intensive processes. Costs are extremely high—often $500K–$2M per patient—limiting access to only a small fraction of those who need them.
As product complexity increases and the cost of failure and scientific labor rises, the industry is shifting toward automation. Robotics and AI are making automated biologics manufacturing feasible, reliable, and economically scalable.
We believe the future of biomanufacturing is robotic—closed, automated, and scalable—ensuring critical therapeutics are accessible to every patient who needs them.
We don’t just build robots—we’re building the essential infrastructure for next generation biologics. Our technology enables biopharma companies to scale production without redesigning their science, reducing regulatory hurdles and lowering costs so these treatments can reach more patients.
The Mission: Build the world’s best robots to make life-saving therapies accessible to all.
The Technology: Advanced robotic orchestration, high-precision automation, cloud-integrated hardware-software systems, dextrous manipulation, and imitation learning.
The Location: Headquartered in San Francisco, CA.
The Backing: Supported by premier investors, including Casdin Capital, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator.
We are seeking our first dedicated Marketing & Communications Manager to work with our current marketing team on all Multiply Labs marketing functions: press, events, product marketing, brand, design, and content. This is not a traditional marketing role. We’re looking for someone with an engineering mindset who loves design, thinks strategically, thrives in ambiguity, and can make a room full of reporters, partners, and pharma executives care about robots. In short, a nerd who can talk to people.
We’ve run marketing in-house for the past year, and it works. Our in-house team grew our company and CEO LinkedIn pages by 4,000 and 6,000 followers in one year. We’ve launched our Series B, hosted a product launch of our latest technology for investors, customers, and press, and built relationships with top tech and business reporters. Now we want the first full time hire to help us drive marketing initiatives and tell our story.
You’ll report directly to our Chief of Staff and work closely with our current marketing team and the executive team. You’ll help define the launches, events, and press moments that shape how the world sees Physical AI in biomanufacturing.
Press & Media Relations: Build and own relationships with reporters across Physical AI, robotics, biotech, and business press. Pitch stories, manage embargoes and exclusives, and prepare executives for interviews and podcasts.
Events & Conferences: Help drive our events strategy: which conferences to attend (e.g. NVIDIA GTC, J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference week), which events to host, and who represents us. Propose the plans, budgets, and decks for the C-suite, and run execution on the ground.
Product Marketing: Translate complex robotics, software, and bioprocess technology into clear positioning, product naming, and messaging. Partner with Engineering, Product, and Commercial on launches, customer-facing decks, case studies, and sales collateral.
LinkedIn & Social: Drive the content calendar, writing, and publishing for the Multiply Labs company page and our CEO’s page, and grow our audience across channels.
Brand & Visual Design: Drive our visual identity across graphics, posters, flyers, event booths, and presentations, and keep the brand consistent everywhere it shows up.
Website: Build and evolve multiplylabs.com, including copy, new pages, and launch updates.
Video & Photo: Plan and run photo shoots and in-house video productions of our robots, labs, and people. Produce cut-downs and social clips.
Measurement: Track performance across press, social, web, and events, and report results and recommendations to leadership.
