Description
We are rebuilding biotech for the AI era. When a breakthrough is delayed, the world waits. Getting a molecule from discovery to patients, or a crop from lab to field, involves thousands of slow, manual, disconnected steps. AI has the potential to change this, compressing decades of R&D work into years. But that only happens when clean, structured scientific data and AI are built into how science gets done. Benchling is the AI platform for biotech R&D. Scientists use Benchling to design experiments, capture structured data, and run AI agents and models directly in their workflows. Over 200,000 scientists around the world trust Benchling to power their most important work, from academic labs to Sanofi, Moderna, and more than half of the world's top 50 biopharma. We’re building an AI scientist for our customers. We can’t do that if we haven’t built the muscle ourselves. AI fluency is the foundation we build on; it's core to how we work, and we're committed to helping every new hire integrate it into their day-to-day. As part of our interview process, you'll complete a brief AI-focused exercise or discussion so we can understand how you think about and use AI to drive impact in your role. Feel free to reference any tools, platforms, or workflows you use today. ROLE OVERVIEW 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. These products are fundamental to how scientific processes get configured, run, and tracked across different phases of a drug's development cycle. We launched Bioprocess in 2024 to help process development teams design, execute, and analyze the experiments that turn a molecule into a manufacturable drug. In 2025, we announced a partnership with Merck (press release https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/benchling-announces-collaboration-with-merck-on-vaccine-bioanalysis-302478378.html) to help their teams develop and test vaccines faster by bringing their analytical workflows onto a single platform. Today, we're implementing the largest pharma companies in the world on Bioprocess, making the core product better every quarter, and expanding into Analytical Sciences and downstream QC. Our vision is to become the software that helps biopharmas bring therapies to patients twice as fast. This is a systems design problem disguised as a life sciences product. You'll be working at the intersection of complex configuration, workflow orchestration, and behavior change. You'll figure out how to make powerful software feel intuitive to the scientists who depend on it every day. You do not need a life sciences background. We're looking for a systems thinker with product taste who can walk into an unfamiliar domain, find the structural patterns, and be effective quickly. The best PMs we've seen for this kind of work have diverse backgrounds. They've built products across meaningfully different problem spaces and bring transferable instincts rather than a single industry playbook.  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.
