Communications Specialist

About Pivot Bio:

Around the world, agriculture is undergoing a profound transformation to meet the challenges of climate change, global food security, and sustainable growth. Pivot Bio is at the forefront of this transition. Recognized by TIME (Best Inventions), Fast Company (Most Innovative Companies, World Changing Ideas), Fortune (Impact 20), MIT Technology Review (Climate Tech to Watch), and CNBC (Disruptor 50), Pivot Bio develops breakthrough crop nutrition technology that helps farmers produce more with less environmental impact.

We are seeking a Communications Specialist to join our Communications, Government Affairs & Sustainability team. This role plays a key part in shaping how Pivot Bio engages with stakeholders across industry, policy, science, and the public. It sits at the intersection of corporate reputation, global sustainability, public policy, and digital storytelling—helping ensure our mission and impact are clearly communicated to audiences ranging from employees to policymakers to global partners.

This is an ideal role for an early-career communications professional (2–3 years of experience) who is energized by variety and complexity, and who enjoys being a "utility player" across multiple disciplines. The successful candidate will support corporate communications campaigns, digital and social media strategy, internal communications, executive visibility, events, publications, and community engagement. In addition, this role will provide support for sustainability reporting, global impact initiatives, and government relations communications.

The role requires creativity, strategic thinking, strong writing and organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. This is an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to how a leading AgTech company shows up on the global stage—and to help tell the story of a more resilient, sustainable future for agriculture.
