Epoch is hiring : Lead Editor in Houston

We're seeking a Lead Editor to bring our research to a wider audience while maintaining high editorial and accessibility standards. Key responsibilities will include helping our researchers turn their research into clear and accessible outputs, as well as developing, overseeing and executing our social media and multimedia content strategy.

About the role and team : Note that we used to advertise for this role as "Communications Lead," but we have renamed it to emphasize the importance of AI knowledge and hands-on writing and editing skills.

Epoch AI is rapidly growing and advising key players on AI's trajectory, but our research isn't reaching all the decision-makers and public audiences it should. We're looking for an editor to help change that—someone who can sharpen and shape our messaging, expand our reach, and ensure our insights drive discussions about AI's future.

You'll be the main point person upholding communication standards at Epoch. The person in this role will grow our public presence by translating our technical research for a wider audience. Ideal candidates will be familiar with our research, deeply embedded in current discussions about AI development, and have multiple years of experience writing and editing in a research or scientific context.

Key Responsibilities

• Research editing and editorial oversight : Work with researchers to turn technical papers and analyses into blog posts, tweets, newsletters, and other formats, directly editing and writing the materials.
• Social media management : Develop and execute our content strategy across X, LinkedIn, and other platforms.
• Podcast and multimedia content : Direct the creation and promotion of video materials and other multimedia content to effectively communicate our research.
• Media and promotion : Build and maintain relationships with journalists and content creators.
• Website content : Work closely with our product designer to develop and execute our website content strategy.
