Is This Role For You?
- You've led product marketing for B2B life sciences or diagnostics companies—translating complex science into win-worthy messaging is in your DNA
- You thrive owning end-to-end GTM strategy: positioning, launches, sales enablement, and customer-backed validation; you measure impact, not activity
- You're comfortable managing cross-functional teams and stakeholders (Product, Sales, Commercial, Digital) with influence, not just authority
- You understand automation workflows, scientific customer pain points, and the lab/research buyer's journey; you can speak their language
- You're energized by a 1,300+ company culture rooted in continuous improvement and innovation—not corporate theater
- You're a pure demand-gen marketer or brand manager—this role demands deep product strategy and go-to-market execution ownership
- You prefer remote work; Paris on-site is non-negotiable for cross-functional leadership and lab/customer immersion
- You're uncomfortable with ambiguity or leading without full authority—you'll need to drive alignment through influence and data in a matrixed environment
- You lack life sciences or B2B technical marketing credibility—the team and customers will sniff out surface-level science quickly
