Description
We're rebuilding biotech for the AI era. Benchling's platform helps the world's largest biotech and pharma companies develop therapies faster. As a Product Manager on the Scientific Development Solutions team, you'll work on products such as Recipes, Assays, and Workflows that scientists use to do their jobs.
The compensation for this role ranges from $163K to $221K, plus equity. We offer a comprehensive benefits program including equity, health, dental, vision, 401(k)+ employer match, wellness, commuter, and more.
Responsibilities
- You are responsible for Recipes, Assays, and Workflows. That means you and your team decide what gets built, why, and in what order. You're accountable for the roadmap and the outcomes your roadmap produces.
- To inform what you build, you will spend time with customers and GTM teams to understand how scientists actually work, and how to turn what they ask for into what they need. It's your responsibility to bring that context back to the team and turn it into product direction.
- You'll work alongside design, engineering, GTM, and our customers to build and ship products. That means guiding product decisions with design and engineering, validating ideas early with customers, enabling customer experience teams on what you ship, and partnering with GTM to bring it to market.
- Use tools at your disposal (SQL, AI, developer environment) to be more effective. That can mean pulling your own data to answer a question, building a prototype to clarify direction, or finding a way to find and summarize customer discovery notes.
Qualifications
- 3-5+ years of product management or equivalent experience
- A diverse career history. You've worked across 2-3+ meaningfully different domains or product types.
- Product taste. You have a track record of building and improving products.
- Architectural fluency. You have experience guiding the architectural decisions of a product.
- Technical tool competency. You're resourceful. You use tools to help yourself and your team get work done.
- Clear communication. You can lead an engaging professional conversation and keep a room's attention.
- Track record of outcomes. You've stayed long enough at key roles to ship, learn, and speak to what worked and what didn't.
- Intellectual range. You're genuinely curious, and that curiosity shows up in how you learn and think about problems.
Bonus
- Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy industries (doesn't have to be life sciences)
- Configuration-heavy, platform-style products
- B2B SaaS in the growth/scaling stage
- Prior life as an engineer, data scientist, or solutions consultant
