Product Specialist, Software & AI

As the Product Specialist for Software & AI, you will drive pioneering innovation in the strategy, development, and commercialization of cutting-edge software and AI-enabled solutions that revolutionize protein science workflows. Functioning as a technical product owner, this role requires deep expertise in scientific software and digital technologies, with a strong emphasis on transforming assay knowledge, customer insights, and automation data into smart, forward-thinking, and intuitive product innovations that accelerate time-to-market.

You will collaborate closely with automation, R&D, software engineering, and data science teams to co-create advanced digital capabilities - owning the product vision and roadmap delivery - that set new standards for ease of use, reproducibility, and workflow efficiency across our Protein Sciences portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

Define and drive the technical roadmap for scientific software, data infrastructure, and AI/ML capabilities across the Protein Sciences portfolio, delivering differentiated data-driven and algorithm-enabled solutions.

Serve as the technical and innovation lead for scientific software and AI, bridging assay workflows, data models, and advanced analytics to enable next-generation protein analysis.

Identify and drive opportunities where AI and modern data methods unlock new capabilities, advancing assay development, signal processing, data harmonization, and performance monitoring beyond traditional approaches.

Translate customer, market, and workflow needs into software and AI product requirements, including data models, feature definitions, and user experiences aligned to real-world scientific applications.

Lead the integration of software, data, and automation systems, defining data capture, metadata standards, control interfaces, and interoperability across instruments and digital platforms.

Drive cross-functional product development and innovation, partnering with Software Engineering, UX, R&D, Automation, and PM Operations - managing the full product development lifecycle from concept through launch to ensure on-time, on-strategy delivery.

Evaluate and develop strategic partnerships with external software, data, and AI providers to accelerate platform capabilities and innovation.

Support go-to-market strategy and commercial enablement, applying core product management principles including product positioning, voice-of-customer synthesis, messaging, and launch execution for software and AI solutions.
