In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible.  
  
Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma. At BridgeBio, we value curiosity and experimentation—including the ethical & thoughtful use of AI to improve clarity, speed, and quality of work. 

What You'll Do

• Learn and navigate the MLR (Medical/Legal/Regulatory) review process to develop workflows that enable reactive, trend-driven content within compliance standards
• Build a 4–6 week editorial calendar and identify key recurring content series and cultural moments
• Concept and produce a minimum of 10 social posts across formats including design, video, and copy
• Monitor trends and propose reactive content in real time
• Track post performance, analyze results, and deliver a final report with recommendations for sustaining the newsroom model
