Product Manager (Scientific Development Solutions)

Join Benchling, a leading platform that helps biotech and pharma companies develop therapies faster. As a Product Manager on the Scientific Development Solutions team, you will work on essential products that scientists use in their daily work. You will be responsible for the roadmap and outcomes of Recipes, Assays, and Workflows, and will collaborate with design, engineering, GTM, and customers to build and ship products. This role requires a strong background in product management, clear communication skills, and a diverse career history.

• Responsable de la gestion de la feuille de route et des résultats des produits liés aux recettes, aux essais et aux flux de travail.
• Collaborer avec les clients et les équipes de mise sur le marché pour comprendre les besoins des scientifiques et traduire ces besoins en direction produit.
• Travailler en étroite collaboration avec les équipes de conception, d'ingénierie et de mise sur le marché pour construire et expédier des produits.
• Technical tool competency. You're resourceful. You use tools to help yourself and your team get work done, whether that's writing SQL queries to make data-driven decisions, using design tools to create prototypes, or using something like Cursor to ship product improvements directly
• Architectural fluency. You have experience guiding the architectural decisions of a product. You can reason about data models, state machines, or schema design. You don't write code, but you can spot when a technical decision will create a bad user experience, limit the extensibility of a product, or lead to something that's difficult to revert
• Clear communication. You can lead an engaging professional conversation and keep a room's attention. You know how to adapt your communication style based on your audience and can read and respond to the individuals in the conversation. As a PM, this matters almost more than anything else
• 3-5+ years of product management or equivalent experience
• Product taste. You have a track record of building and improving products. You can translate a user requirement into a feature worth building, and you can look at any product and articulate what's broken and why. You understand that shipping software isn't just about delivering requirements. It's about getting a user to change their behavior, form a new habit, and make it stick
• A diverse career history. You've worked across 2-3+ meaningfully different domains or product types. This is the single strongest signal we're looking for. It tells us you're a systems thinker who adapts, not someone who relies on one playbook
• Track record of outcomes. You've stayed long enough at key roles to ship, learn, and speak to what worked and what didn't. We're looking for evidence of impact
• Intellectual range. You're genuinely curious, and that curiosity shows up in how you learn and think about problems. Product management is a means to an end. It's how you apply the learnings from the curiosity that has driven you. What you and your team decide to build is an inevitable conclusion of that curiosity
• 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
• Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy industries (doesn't have to be life sciences)
• Prior life as an engineer, data scientist, or solutions consultant
• B2B SaaS in the growth/scaling stage
• Configuration-heavy, platform-style products
