Us

We are a microbiome science company pioneering innovations in probiotics and living medicines to impact human and planetary health. Founded to realize the potential of microbes, our platform enables the translation of breakthrough science across a portfolio that encompasses both indication-specific and preventive applications across gastrointestinal and digestive health, women’s health, skin and dermatological health, oral care, pediatrics, gut-brain function, metabolic function, and nutrition.

Our consumer innovations are commercialized under Seed® with a mission to bring much-needed precision, efficacy, education and perspective-shifting science communication to the global category of probiotics. And our environmental research is conducted under SeedLabs, which was founded to develop novel bacterial interventions to enhance biodiversity and restore ecosystems impacted by human activity. LUCA Biologics, our women’s health biotech company co-founded with Dr. Jacques Ravel, develops living medicines targeting the vaginal microbiome for urogenital and reproductive health.

Founded in Venice, CA with a global team across Europe, Australia, Asia and North America, Seed Health was co-founded by Ara Katz and Raja Dhir, alongside a scientific board comprised of leading scientists, researchers, and clinicians across the fields of microbiology, immunology, bioinformatics, dermatology, oral health, vaginal health, gastroenterology, mental health, pediatrics, and nutrition.

You are an idea generator. Someone who will drive the strategic vision, creation and execution of integrated brand campaigns. You are a quick-witted, forward-thinking creative with the unique ability to fill the gap between culture, brand, growth, platform, and mediums—with sharp, original, creative solutions. You are a hyper-collaborative, highly-energetic individual with the capacity to think on their feet and operate with effective, superior written and verbal communication skills. You are inspired to drive empowerment through education and turn click-bait into meaning. You have told a lot of stories, written a lot of taglines, scripts, tweets, captions, and subject lines, and you’re ready for something that expands your intellect, your soul, and of course, your microbiome.

The blank page does not scare you. It inspires you. A roadblock or is a challenge waiting to be solved. You look for the doors no one else can see. You understand that sometimes the team might not know what we want until we see it, so you keep a repertoire of groundbreaking ideas in your back pocket to present and inspire. You are electrified by what you learn in the depths of scientific research, and emerge with findings that inspire both the creative team and our external audiences. You are comfortable interpreting briefs to guide copywriters, designers and channel owners throughout the creative development process. Your ideas will be applicable to both our member and non-member communities, on and offline. You know the steps needed to bring ideas to life, pulling from your diverse range of experience in strategy, creative, and production, and you know how to scale ideas from 10⁹ down to 10⁻⁹ (you can be big vision one minute and the next double-click into the granular details to make it come alive).  

Writer and storyteller at heart, you create magic in the permutation of 26 letters, a handful of punctuation, and occasional, cleverly-placed emojis. You think in long form and short form and rap verses and poetry and everything in between and understand it’s about speaking to people in the way they want to be spoken to. You can get to the heart of a message in the fewest number of characters and thrive in the crafting of phrases that catalyze action. Words are powerful; you know exactly when and how to be subversive and provocative versus nurturing and expansive. You thrive in memes, haikus, hashtags, puns, metaphors and analogies—word play is your superpower. When we say TED meets Vox meets The Hustle meets Carl Sagan meets VICE, you know what we mean. 

In this role, you will be responsible for conceptualizing creative campaigns and always-on copy that translate science and product to meet our audience wherever they are—while supporting brand, growth and internal culture needs. You thrive on the balance between different worlds: language and art, left brain and right, creativity and scale, ideation and production.  

Who you are:

  • 8+ years experience working in creative/campaign strategy either in-house or at an agency.

  • You have a strong background in, interest, and experience in the multicultural marketplace.

  • Passionate about developing never-been-done-before, headline capturing, award-winning, mind-gasmic concepts.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
