Product Manager (Platform)

Join Benchling, a leading life sciences R&D cloud platform. As a Product Manager for Schemas, you will own the configuration layer where customers model their scientific data and processes. You will set product direction, track customer usage, and partner with various teams to drive product development. This role offers a competitive salary, equity, robust healthcare benefits, and more.

• Set product direction for Schemas and ship toward it incrementally, balancing fast prototyping with the platform stability.
• Relentlessly track how customers use Schemas — where it delights, where it fails — and build sharp personas and job-to-be-done context for each user type.
• Champion structured, well-modeled data as the foundation for AI value across Benchling, anticipating what schema consumers will need next.

• Energized by platform work and systems thinking; comfortable building the right abstraction ahead of need
• Genuine curiosity about the science behind the data. You don't need a science background, but you should want one by the end of your first quarter here
• Has designed, owned, or significantly evolved a data-modeling, schema, or configuration system used by external developers or technical admins — not just consumed one as a feature
• Strong communicator across technical and executive audiences; B2B SaaS or developer-platform background preferred
• Becomes the go-to person for customers, field, and engineers — not a router to engineering
• Deep, demonstrated discovery practice: has built personas and JTBD frameworks from scratch, not just used ones handed to them
• Track record balancing long-term vision with incremental shipping
