Who you are

• AI-native operator: You don’t just use AI tools — you orchestrate them. You understand agentic frameworks, LLM orchestration, and how to automate multi-step marketing workflows end-to-end. You can describe the architecture, the failure modes, and the judgment calls
• Biopharma fluent: You speak the language of the lab. You understand the nuances of drug discovery, clinical timelines, and the realities of selling into pharma R&D
• A "full-stack" marketing leader: Since you are the sole human member of the team, you must be comfortable moving between high-level board strategy and the technical plumbing of your stack without losing signal
• Radically efficient: You have a natural disdain for traditional corporate bloat and a passion for proving that intelligence plus automation beats headcount every time
• 10+ years in marketing leadership, with 3–5 years specifically in biopharma, life sciences, or HealthTech
• Proven track record of building brand awareness and category position in a technical B2B market
• A track record of pipeline ownership — accountable for revenue or pipeline contribution, not just campaign metrics
• Demonstrated experience building and operating AI-driven marketing workflows. You can walk us through the architecture you’ve built
• Exceptional communicator across scientific and executive audiences
• Comfortable operating without a team — you see it as leverage, not limitation

What the job involves

• BenchSci is looking for a VP of Marketing to redefine what a marketing department looks like in the age of generative intelligence. You will own BenchSci’s brand, demand, and market position in biopharma R&D — and build the agentic infrastructure to power it, from scratch
• Success at the end of year one looks like:
• BenchSci is the definitive brand for AI in drug discovery. Scientists know us and executive buyers come to us. Our narrative shapes the category
• You’ve built the most efficient marketing function in biopharma SaaS — a Team of One directing a fleet of AI agents and autonomous workflows, delivering outcomes that would traditionally require a team many times the size
• Marketing is a measurable driver of lead generation — feeding Sales a consistent, qualified pipeline, not just running campaigns
• Both the brand outcome and the operating model matter. A beautiful agentic stack that doesn’t move the brand isn’t enough. A strong brand built through traditional playbooks isn’t enough either. This role exists because we believe both are possible at once — and we’re looking for the person who believes it too
• Brand & positioning. Position BenchSci as the essential AI platform for scientific discovery, with narratives that resonate with both lab scientists and executive buyers
• Demand & lead generation. Accountable for marketing’s contribution to lead generation and pipeline. Partner with Sales to execute account-based marketing (ABM) at a scale with precision previously impossible, targeting key personas within top-tier pharmaceutical organizations
• ABM into top-tier pharma accounts
• The agentic marketing stack. Design, deploy, and operate a workforce of AI agents across content, SEO, performance, lead scoring, social, and market intelligence. You are the architect and the operator
• Strategy & execution. Set the annual marketing strategy and budget. Translate it into monthly plans with clear outcomes. Run the function end-to-end
• Market intelligence. Build autonomous loops that surface competitive landscapes, scientific literature, and industry signals that keep BenchSci ahead of the market
• Editorial judgment. You are the human layer above every agent workflow. Brand voice, scientific accuracy, and quality sit with you
• Cross-functional leverage. Work closely with Product Marketing, Sales, and Science. The shape of the function will evolve as the company does; you’ll help define it
