Technical Growth & Strategy
About The Position
Edison Scientific builds and commercializes AI agents for science. Scientific discovery moves too slowly, and autonomous AI agents are how we intend to fix that. We're assembling a team of top researchers and engineers across AI and biology to build an AI scientist. We are seeking a growth-focused executor to drive adoption among scientists in academia, biotech, and pharma- and to identify new user communities at the frontier of AI-accelerated research. This role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution across product, growth, and partnerships. The ideal candidate has experience shaping and scaling growth initiatives for technical products, excels at building relationships across scientific and commercial audiences, and can translate complex technology into compelling stories and user experiences. A life sciences background is not required, but curiosity and the ability to quickly learn the language and culture of scientists are essential. This role is on-site at our San Francisco office in the Dogpatch neighborhood. Our office is a converted warehouse with high ceilings, open space, and a team that genuinely believes in what they're building.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in product management, with at least 5+ years in leadership.
- Proven track record of building and scaling products in biotech, life sciences, or computational biology.
