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
Benchling is launching a new AI offering called “Decision Support”. You'll be the first hire dedicated to bringing it to market. You’ll have direct ownership of outbound sales pitch and demo,and will influence the GTM motion end to end. You’ll focus on decision support initially, and the role may expand into other AI GTM areas.
What success looks like in the first 6 months
- Running outbound and demos independently.
- A AI GTM playbook (workshop format, pilot structure, or similar) that's being run across many customers.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Run outbound to customer directors and VPs for new AI offerings.
- Deliver initial product demos to prospects and lead workshops.
- Iterate on messaging and build sales collateral (decks, one-pagers, talk tracks) as we learn what lands.
- Act as the internal early adopter for new AI GTM motions, testing, refining, and rolling them out to the broader field team.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 2+ years in a customer-facing role: sales, solutions consulting, or similar.
- Comfort presenting to executives and running a room.
- Bias toward action in ambiguity; this SKU and this role are both being built in real time.
HOW WE WORK
We offer a flexible hybrid work arrangement that prioritizes in-office collaboration. Employees are expected to be on-site 3 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday).
