Who you are
- You’ve successfully built and managed world-class enterprise SaaS Product Management teams to build complex platform products that serve complex customers
- You have 10+ years as a product leader working on enterprise SaaS platforms with at least 5+ years of experience as a people manager and a track record of recruiting and building successful product teams
- You thrive in the challenge of distilling clarity and focus from ambiguity and complexity, and are a strong problem solver that can gather, prioritize, and drive execution on customer and business requirements—turning them into successful product strategies
- You possess influential leadership and interpersonal skills that enable you to build strong relationships with customers, your direct team, company peers, and company leadership
- You have a growth mindset that allows you to change your mind and readily admit mistakes. You ask for and give direct feedback
- You are excellent at listening to others and articulating ideas in written and verbal form, both for internal and external communication
- Ideally, you have experience with both life sciences R&D and high growth software technology companies
What the job involves
- Partner with our external and internal customers to constantly refine your understanding of their needs, how we can make them more productive, and the market opportunities they represent
- Lead and develop a team of Product Managers in building out the ways customers configure, build and integrate on Benchling
- Work with Product and Engineering partners to ensure the Benchling infrastructure supports the security, scalability and reliability our customers expect
- Partner with leadership teams across Product, Engineering, Design, and Strategy to build and refine our strategy, organization, product roadmaps, and approach to execution
- Reimagine and redefine how our customers and partners interact with Benchling through APIs, an application framework and the core primitives that can be extended to model use cases beyond the Benchling offering
- Measure the impact of your team and work by defining success metrics, tracking progress, and adapting your plans based on insights from that data
- Possess a drive to question assumptions and validate hypotheses—obsessing over getting the product details right while still knowing how to ship on time

As the pioneer of the R&D Cloud, Benchling offers a cloud-based informatics platform tailored for biotechnology. Its platform enables scientists across the globe to make breakthrough discoveries and bring next-gen biotechnology to market.
There’s a sincerity and consciousness to Benchling’s approach that stands out. This has led to the company being adopted by over 200,000 scientists from 1,000+ companies and 7,500 academic and research institutions globally (including 23andMe, Moderna, and the U.S. Department of Defense).
The rapidly advancing Biotechnology industry was at the forefront of the so-called “fourth industrial revolution”, with the industry driving $2 to $4 trillion per year of economic impact over the next 20 years.
