About the role

  • As chemists ourselves, we know what it's like when software doesn't work the way you do - stuck with systems built by people who never spent a day at the bench.
  • This role will include driving those experiences toward an agentic future that transforms how R&D work gets done.
  • You will have 5+ years of product management experience shipping products that users love, with a track record of owning product areas end-to-end in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, or highly technical platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end product development from problem definition through launch and iteration, working backwards from customer needs to form clear product conviction and shippable execution plans.
  • Partner deeply with engineering, design, and AI/ML teams to ship high-quality, intuitive, and reliable workflows, sweating the details of interaction models, UI behavior, performance, and adoption paths.
  • Collaborate closely with go-to-market, solutions, support, and forward-deployed teams to ensure product strategy reflects enterprise realities and addresses real customer pain points - not internal assumptions.
  • Navigate ambiguity and create structure where the right answer is not obvious - forming hypotheses, testing them quickly, and updating the approach when data demands it.
  • Leadership & Impact Drive clarity and alignment among key stakeholders across the organization, including executives and adjacent teams, on priorities, tradeoffs, and product direction.
  • Bring a high bar for product craft - not only identifying the right opportunities but being deeply invested in how they should work in practice, from workflow design through to adoption.
  • Serve as a credible cross-functional partner to engineering, design, data, and commercial teams, earning trust through competence, follow-through, and a bias toward outcomes over outputs.
  • Comfort prototyping in design or code to validate ideas before committing to full build cycles.
  • AI-native mindset - you actively use AI tools in your own product craft and have strong intuition for how AI products should behave and where they fall short.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to engage with engineers on tradeoffs, partner with design on interaction details, and present strategy to executives.

Requirements

  • Strong product sense and user empathy - you know the difference between a product that works and one that delights, built through direct and repeated exposure to users.

Company info

  • Deep understanding of how enterprise customers operate; asks the right questions and designs solutions that stick.
  • Comfortable operating in dynamic, fast-moving customer and company environments where the approach evolves with new information.
  • Drive rapid concept prototyping and validation - building and showing demos early and often, internally and externally, to test hypotheses and establish product-market fit with design partners and lighthouse customers.
  • Anticipate and shape the evolution of core applications toward agentic workflows, identifying where AI can materially improve how scientists work and sequencing capabilities into experiences customers will actually adopt.
  • Execution & Collaboration Spend significant time with scientists, customers, and internal stakeholders to understand how they actually work - conducting hands-on user research and translating those insights into prioritized product decisions.
  • Customer Empathy: Deep understanding of how enterprise customers operate; asks the right questions and designs solutions that stick.
  • We love our global team.
  • We are looking for an ambitious and results-driven Product Manager, Core to join our growing team.
