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.\nBenchling 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.\nWe’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.\nROLE OVERVIEW\nBenchling's platform helps the world's largest biotech and pharma companies develop therapies faster. As a Product Manager on the Study Lifecycle team, you'll work on products such as Studies, Sample Testing, and Process Development that scientists use to do their jobs. These products are fundamental to how scientific work gets organized, planned, and connected to analysis across different phases of a drug's development cycle.\nWe 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) to help their teams develop and test vaccines faster by bringing their analytical workflows onto a single platform.\nToday, 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.\nYou'll be working at the intersection of experimental planning, execution data, and analysis, deciding how a single study ties them together around a scientific question. You'll figure out how to make powerful software feel intuitive to the scientists who depend on it every day, and dependable for the teams who integrate with it through our APIs.\nYou 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.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nYou are responsible for Studies, Sample Testing, Process Development, and how experiment run data connects to analysis. 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, for scientists who use the product and for the customers and partners who integrate with it through our APIs.\n\nTo 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.\n\nYou'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.\n\nUse 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. The point isn't the specific tool. It's the drive to find what you need and move fast rather than wait for someone else.\n\nQUALIFICATIONS\n5-7+ years of product management or equivalent experience\n\nA 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.\n\nProduct 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.\n\nArchitectural 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.\n\nTechnical 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.\n\nClear 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.\n\nTrack 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.\n\nIntellectual 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.\n\nBONUS\nExperience in regulated or compliance-heavy industries (doesn't have to be life sciences)\n\nConfiguration-heavy, platform-style products\n\nB2B SaaS in the growth/scaling stage\n\nPrior life as an engineer, data scientist, or solutions consultant\n\nHOW WE WORK\nWe offer a flexible hybrid work arrangement that prioritizes in-office collaboration. Employees are expected to be on-site 3 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday).\n#LI-Hybrid\n#BI-Hybrid\nBenchling welcomes everyone.\nWe believe diversity enriches our team so we hire people with a wide range of identities, backgrounds, and experiences. \nWe are an equal opportunity employer. That means we don’t discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We also consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records, consistent with applicable federal, state and local law, including but not limited to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7593,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology","Scientific & Lab Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-16T00:08:31Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 14 · green card filings: 2","filings_12m":14,"filings_prev_12m":12,"green_card_filings_12m":2,"median_offered_wage_usd":156875,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":41,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":265000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/benchling-product-manager-study-lifecycle","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/benchling-product-manager-study-lifecycle.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T19:26:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4982,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4848},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4848"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbenchling-product-manager-study-lifecycle"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbenchling-product-manager-study-lifecycle"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbenchling-product-manager-study-lifecycle"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/benchling-product-manager-study-lifecycle\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbenchling-product-manager-study-lifecycle"}]}
