Lila SciencesCambridge, Massachusetts, United States · Posted 6 months agoDescription
Your Impact at LILA
We are seeking a Product Marketing Manager, Physical Sciences to lead go-to-market for Lila’s AI-driven materials and chemistry platform. You will operate at the convergence of:
- Physical science domains: catalysts, sorbents, coatings, LNPs, quantum and extreme-environment materials
- Autonomous experimentation: flow chemistry ecosystems, high-throughput electrocatalysis, advanced characterization workcells
- AI & modeling: property prediction, design spaces, Bayesian optimization, LLM-augmented optimization
Your mission is to translate this tech stack into clear narratives, compelling launches, and credible evidence that resonate with:
- Industrial R&D and technology leaders in energy, chemicals, and manufacturing
- Sustainability and advanced materials teams
- Strategic partners, national labs, and federal programs
What You'll Be Building
Go-To-Market Strategy & Launch
- Define and execute GTM plans for new physical science capabilities (e.g., catalyst discovery campaigns, LNP property prediction, flow-reactor–based optimization, sorbents and coatings workflows), translating technical milestones into compelling market moments with clear offers, timelines, and success metrics.
- Translate PS product milestones (new AISF demos, CLUE campaign results, partner-ready vignettes) into launch-ready packages, including positioning, messaging, collateral, and enablement assets.
- Align launches with priority commercial motions in physical sciences (Accelerated By Lila, Lila Superscientists, joint development, and agentic science offerings) to maximize adoption and impact.
Messaging & Positioning
- Craft crisp, value-based messaging that communicates how Lila’s platform accelerates:
- Catalyst and materials discovery for green hydrogen and electrochemistry
- LNP design and advanced materials development for transport and separations
- Coatings, sorbents, and quantum/extreme-environment materials discovery
- Tailor narratives for R&D executives, technical experts, and corporate innovation/sustainability leaders, clearly differentiating Lila from traditional HTE vendors, point-solution AI tools, and CROs.
Content Creation
- Produce technical and visionary content, including:
- Domain-focused one-pagers and solution briefs (electrocatalysis, LNPs, sorbents, coatings, quantum materials)
- Case studies and vignettes that translate CLUE campaigns, flow cell workcells, and AISF demos into partner-ready slides and visuals
- Executive decks for Chevron, Merck-style conversations, industry keynotes, and joint partner briefings
- Website and industry-page copy for physical sciences, in collaboration with Brand, CSO Materials, and PS leads
Sales & Field Enablement
- Partner with Commercial and BD to deliver high-impact collateral for physical-science prospects:
- Pitch decks and talk tracks linked to CLUE, flow chemistry, LNP, sorbents, and coatings capabilities
- Competitive positioning and objection handling against AI-for-materials and automation players
- Simple ROI/value frameworks (faster time to best-in-class catalysts, improved yields, fewer experiments, enhanced durability)
- Capture learnings from customer and partner meetings (e.g., Chevron, energy majors, OEMs, national labs) and feed them back into messaging and product feedback loops
Market Intelligence & Insight
- Monitor competitive landscape and adjacencies in AI-driven materials discovery, HTE vendors, simulation platforms, and industrial R&D digitization
- Synthesize customer signals from commercial conversations, conferences (e.g., GTC, sustainability/energy events), and federal initiatives to inform PS product and business-model decisions
- Help prioritize PS storytelling priorities for 2026 (e.g., CLUE results and green hydrogen, LNPs and targeted delivery, extreme-environment coatings, quantum materials) to drive revenue and partnerships
Evangelism & Representation
- Serve as a visible advocate for Lila’s physical sciences work, supporting researchers in events, webinars, and joint partner sessions
- Collaborate with MarCom on PR and thought leadership that highlights CLUE, AISF for flow chemistry, electrocatalysis, carbon capture sorbents, and advanced materials achievements
Bonus Points For
Education
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field. PhD a plus.
Experience
- 5+ years in B2B SaaS or technical product marketing, ideally within lab informatics, scientific software, or AI/ML for physical sciences, energy, or advanced materials.
Technical Understanding
- Strong grasp of AI/ML applied to physical sciences (e.g., property prediction, generative models for materials, Bayesian optimization, simulation-driven design).
- Comfortable discussing catalysis, sorbents, coatings, or related domains, even if you are not the domain PI.
Storytelling & Communication
- Proven ability to translate complex technical data and workflows into accessible, precise, and compelling narratives for scientists and business stakeholders; strong writing portfolio a plus.
Collaboration
- Track record of partnering with Product, R&D, and Commercial teams; able to serve as a trusted thought partner to PS leaders and researchers.
Execution & Ownership
- Strong project management skills; capable of coordinating multiple GTM streams in parallel and delivering on deadlines tied to events, partner meetings, and internal milestones.
Startup Mindset
- Comfortable in a fast-moving, highly cross-functional environment where product, category, and business models are evolving.
Compensation
We offer competitive base compensation with bonus potential and generous early-stage equity. Your final offer will reflect your background, expertise, and expected impact.
U.S. Benefits. Full-time U.S. employees receive a comprehensive benefits program including medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer-paid life and disability insurance; flexible time off with generous company wide holidays; paid parental leave; an educational assistance program; commuter benefits, including bike share memberships for office based employees; and a company subsidized lunch program.
