Job description

About Sapio Sciences Sapio Sciences is on a mission to accelerate scientific drug discovery and high-throughput clinical and diagnostics for our clients and partners. The Sapio team consists of expert and highly collaborative scientists, software developers, and professionals passionate about providing a best-in-class lab informatics platform and industry-specific solutions. Sapio is one of the few software providers to offer a truly unified and highly configurable lab informatics platform and a broad suite of purpose-built solutions. The Sapio platform makes it easy for scientists, laboratory, and bio/informatics professionals to streamline and manage their end-to-end laboratory operations, from instrument data integration to workflow and experiment setup to sample and materials management, data management, and scientific data analysis and reporting. Working at Sapio At Sapio, we’re not just building lab informatics solutions. We’re creating tools made for the scientist and motivated to make the world a better place. We understand that lab informatics is about more than managing data or connecting workflows. It’s about making life easier for the scientist and making scientific progress faster for everyone. Our platform delivers the levels of configurability, usability and insight that scientists have only ever dreamed of. We’re a team of scientists, developers and innovators who question convention and stay focused on what matters most - advancing drug discovery science. We challenge the status quo and respond to the needs at the heart of science with powerful solutions that are simple to use, effortless to evolve and downright easy to love. As part of the Sapio team, you’ll work in a collaborative and forward-thinking environment where your ideas are valued, your growth matters and your work makes a difference. We’re proud to partner with leading labs around the world, from ambitious start-ups to global organisations, who trust Sapio to support discovery, development and diagnostics with industry-first science-aware solutions. About the Role This is not a traditional inward-facing product manager role. This is an externally oriented, product marketing-biased position at the intersection of product strategy, customer engagement, and commercial execution. The right candidate will be as comfortable in front of a prospective customer or at an industry conference as they are working through a product roadmap with internal stakeholders. As Senior Product Manager, you will be the outward voice of the Sapio platform. You will own the narrative around how our products solve real scientific and operational challenges, translating deep domain knowledge of ELN, LIMS, and CMC workflows into compelling demonstrations, positioning, and messaging that resonates with buyers, users, and partners. You will report directly into our VP of Product, and work in close collaboration with the executive leadership team, including our CEO. You will operate as a senior and trusted voice, capable of engaging confidently at the executive level — both internally and with our most strategic customers. Working Location This is a remote-first role. We are open to candidates based in the US (East Coast preferred) or the UK. There is an expectation to travel periodically — to meet with the leadership team, to join key customer engagements, and to represent Sapio at industry events. Our teams are spread across the US and the UK, with offices in York, PA, Fort Lauderdale, and London. Essential Responsibilities Own the outward-facing product narrative — developing positioning, messaging frameworks, and demo strategies that clearly articulate the value of Sapio’s platform across ELN, LIMS, and CMC workflows. Lead and deliver high-impact solution presentations to prospective customers, partners, and at industry events, tailoring content to audience — from bench scientists to C-suite executives. Act as a strategic bridge between development, marketing, and sales — ensuring go-to-market activity is grounded in product reality and customer insight. Develop deep domain expertise across CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls), with a strong understanding of biologics and the broader life sciences landscape, to credibly engage with scientific and regulatory stakeholders. Partner closely with the Head of Product and executive leadership team to align external messaging with product direction and company strategy. Represent the voice of the customer internally — synthesising feedback from demos, customer conversations, and market signals into actionable product and positioning insights. Collaborate with sales on RFP responses, proof-of-concept engagements, and strategic account support where product expertise and demonstration capability are required. Lead product marketing efforts, partnering with the marketing team on content development, conference presentations, webinars, and customer advisory board preparation. Engage regularly with the executive leadership team and CEO, providing clear, confident, and commercially aware perspectives on market positioning and customer feedback. Required Skills & Experience Proven experience in a product management or product marketing role within a life sciences software company, with a clear external and customer-facing orientation. Deep knowledge of ELN and LIMS products — you must be able to speak credibly about these platforms with scientists, lab managers, and IT stakeholders. Solid understanding of CMC processes, with experience in or exposure to biologics and the biotech/pharma development pipeline strongly preferred. A strong product marketing mindset — you understand how to translate complex functionality into compelling value propositions and customer stories. Demonstrated experience managing and influencing senior stakeholders, including executive leaders. You are comfortable in the room with a CEO and bring presence, preparation, and commercial acumen. Track record of delivering high-quality product demonstrations that move deals forward and build customer confidence. Experience operating across scale-up and/or corporate environments — you can navigate both the pace of a growing company and the complexity of large enterprise accounts. Excellent communication and presentation skills — written, verbal, and visual. You can simplify the complex and make it land. Strong commercial awareness and ability to align product activity to business outcomes. Required Skills & Abilities Customer-first mindset — naturally curious about how scientists and laboratory professionals work, and motivated by solving their real problems. Confident and credible communicator at all levels, from bench scientists to C-suite; equally effective in one-to-one conversations and large group settings. Able to manage competing priorities across product, sales, and marketing workstreams without losing quality or focus. Self-starter who thrives in environments with autonomy — you set your own pace and hold yourself to a high standard. Collaborative and inclusive in how you work with colleagues across geographies and functions. Adaptable and comfortable with ambiguity — you can operate effectively as strategy evolves. High integrity and accountability; you follow through on commitments and are transparent about progress and challenges. Strong attention to detail in customer-facing materials and communications. Preferred Experience Background in biologics, CDMOs, or pharmaceutical development organisations, with hands-on familiarity with how CMC data is generated, managed, and reviewed. Experience in a dual product management / product marketing function, or close collaboration between the two. Familiarity with the regulatory and quality context in which ELN and LIMS platforms operate (e.g. 21 CFR Part 11, GxP environments). Prior experience in a scale-up or Series B/C-stage software business, where you have built processes and collateral from the ground up. Exposure to scientific data management platforms, informatics, or adjacent software categories. Experience presenting at industry conferences, user groups, or customer advisory boards.
