Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

4 transfer filings in the last year, covering 4 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • 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.
  • Today, 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.

Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • It's the drive to find what you need and move fast rather than wait for someone else.
  • Benchling's platform helps the world's largest biotech and pharma companies develop therapies faster.
  • We launched Bioprocess in 2024 to help process development teams design, execute, and analyze the experiments that turn a molecule into a manufacturable drug.

Requirements

  • 5-7+ years of product management or equivalent experience
  • You have experience guiding the architectural decisions of a product.
  • You know how to adapt your communication style based on your audience and can read and respond to the individuals in the conversation.
  • Track record of outcomes.
  • Experience in regulated or compliance-heavy industries (doesn't have to be life sciences)
  • A 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.
  • Product 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.
  • Architectural 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.
  • Technical 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.
  • Clear 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.
  • Track 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.
  • Intellectual 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.
  • Configuration-heavy, platform-style products
  • B2B SaaS in the growth/scaling stage
  • Prior life as an engineer, data scientist, or solutions consultant

Skills

  • When a breakthrough is delayed, the world waits.
  • 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.
  • Benchling is the AI platform for biotech R&D.

Company info

  • We are rebuilding biotech for the AI era.
  • 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.
  • This is the single strongest signal we're looking for.
  • 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.
  • To 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.
  • You'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.
