ROLE OVERVIEW 

We’re looking for an Analytics & Data Science leader (team manager) with strong business instincts, management experience, and mastery of analytics. You will apply your skills to lead a team of analysts in our efforts to better understand how our customers use Benchling and how that usage relates to both customer and business value. Ultimately you will help us make better product and business decisions.

YOUR IMPACT

• Partner and collaborate with Benchling’s product, engineering, and strategy leaders to develop data-informed perspectives on strategic trade-offs, identifying the highest impact opportunities for in-depth analysis in service to Benchling’s company strategy and product priorities.
• Lead a team team of data analysts and data scientists, building a data insights roadmap that spans metrics eventing, data modeling, and data infrastructure across an extremely broad product surface area.
• Collaborate closely with key stakeholders across the business, including data engineering, customer experience and support, business systems and IT, financial planning and analysis, and marketing.
• Build the best possible understanding of our customers and their interaction with our products through in-depth analyses of user interaction and engagement.
• Through a deeper understanding of our customers, advocate for and drive novel explorations of our data to identify and understand emergent trends and opportunities, making recommendations to improve both the product and the broader business.

HOW YOU WILL SUCCEED

• You will sweat the details and hold a high bar for quality of output, ensuring that the data and analyses that your team produces are trustworthy.
• You’ll drive a culture that not only services business or product data requests, but constantly refines and improves the questions we’re asking, cementing your team as thought leaders within the company.
• You will measure the impact of your own team and work by defining success metrics, tracking progress, and taking an approach of constant iteration and improvement to optimize for outcomes.

ABOUT YOU

• You have extensive experience applying analytics to drive positive impacts on company-level business and product decisions.
• You’ve successfully built and managed top-tier analytics teams serving the needs of fast-paced, rapidly scaling organizations.
• You have a strong ability to influence without authority, leveraging data to tell compelling stories that help build decision confidence.
• You have extensive prior experience in data manipulation and statistical programming languages (e.g. SQL, R, Python) and cloud data environments (e.g. AWS).
• You have a growth mindset, and are able to change your mind and readily admit mistakes. You ask for and give direct feedback.
• You are excellent at listening to others and articulating ideas in written and oral form, both for internal and external communication.
• Ideally you have experience with both life sciences R&D and high growth software technology

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Benchling’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

VeteranStatus

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
