Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've spent 8+ years in product marketing or product management within biotech, diagnostics, or life sciences—and actually understand reagent workflows
  • You're comfortable translating complex science for sales, customers, and executives without dumbing it down
  • You thrive owning product strategy end-to-end: from market research through campaign measurement and optimization
  • You can balance cross-functional stakeholder management (Science, Operations, Sales) with execution speed in a growing company
  • You're analytical: you build dashboards, test assumptions, and iterate on campaigns based on data
Won't Work If
  • You've only done B2C marketing or consumer product launches; B2B life sciences is a different game
  • You need remote flexibility; this is strictly on-site
  • You prefer a pure execution role; this requires strategic thinking, roadmap development, and stakeholder influence
  • You're uncomfortable with long sales cycles and complex scientific storytelling; this market moves slower
