About the role
We are rebuilding biotech for the AI era. 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. Scientists use Benchling to design experiments, capture structured data, and run AI agents and models directly in their workflows. Over 200,000 scientists around the world trust Benchling to power their most important work, from academic labs to Sanofi, Moderna, and more than half of the world's top 50 biopharma. We’re building an AI scientist for our customers. We can’t do that if we haven’t built the muscle ourselves. AI fluency is the foundation we build on; it's core to
how we work, and we're committed to helping every new hire integrate it into their day-to-day. As part of our interview process, you'll complete a brief AI-focused exercise or discussion so we can understand how you think about and use AI to drive impact in your role. Feel free to reference any tools, platforms, or workflows you use today. ROLE OVERVIEW The Model Hub team is building a computational platform that provides access to cutting-edge scientific AI models to help scientists design better drugs. Scientific models (e.g. AlphaFold or Boltz2) predict structures, predict scientific properties, and generate new drug designs, acting as a design partner and a major time saver to scientists who are creating life-saving therapeutics. As the growth-focused product manager on
the team, you'll own the product execution of our scientific AI models products and features, including Model Hub, and drive how customers adopt and grow their usage of these models. You'll split your time between talking with customers to understand their needs and gather feedback, and managing product definition and execution to bring the products they want to life. This is a highly cross-functional role: you'll partner closely with engineering, legal, strategy, and sales/GTM to get cutting-edge scientific AI into the hands of the scientists who need it. It's early days for scientific AI models, both at Benchling and in the industry at large. We'll rapidly iterate with customers and change directions quickly, figuring out new patterns for how we develop and go to market. We'll win if we stay curious and obsess over our customers.
