Requirements
- A meaningful background in chemistry, materials science, biology, chemical engineering, or a closely related field — you should be comfortable discussing experimental design, data types, and R&D workflows with PhD-level researchers
- Exceptional ability to explain complex ideas clearly to a wide range of audiences — from bench scientists to R&D directors to business leaders
- The ability to understand not just what a scientist is saying, but what they actually need — and to navigate different organizational cultures and working styles
- Hands-on comfort working with scientific or technical software — whether that's an ELN, LIMS, instrument control software, data analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, JMP, or similar), or scripting for data processing. You don't need to be a software engineer, but you should be someone who figures out new tools quickly and isn't intimidated by data-heavy environments
- Comfort managing multiple workstreams simultaneously and driving projects to completion in a fast-paced environment
- Genuine curiosity about software, data, and how technology can transform R&D
Nice to Have
- M.S. or higher in chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, biology, or a closely related field, plus 2–3 years of post-degree work experience in research, industry, or a technical customer-facing role
- Hands-on lab experience — time spent running experiments gives you instant credibility with our customers
- Experience in a customer-facing, consulting, or technical role where you had to explain complex scientific concepts to varied audiences
- Familiarity with data management concepts: spreadsheets, databases, ELNs, or LIMS
- Exposure to multiple scientific domains (e.g., organic chemistry and polymer science, or biotech and formulation)
Benefits
- Competitive base salary with performance bonus and meaningful equity
- Health and dental insurance
- 401(k) with employer contribution (US locations)
- Direct mentorship and rapid career development on a small, high-caliber team
Additional Information
- Direct impact: Your work directly accelerates R&D at organizations developing next-generation products — from sustainable materials to pediatric cancer treatments
- Customer relationships that matter: You'll build real partnerships with brilliant scientists and R&D leaders, not just manage tickets
- Internal influence: At our scale, your field experience carries weight in product decisions. You'll see your feedback become features
- Fast-paced growth: You'll gain fluency across scientific domains, enterprise software, business development, and project management faster than almost any other role
