Product Marketing Manager, Physical Sciences

Your Impact at Lila We are seeking a Product Marketing Manager, Physical Sciences to drive go‑to‑market for Lila’s AI‑driven materials and chemistry platform. You will sit at the intersection of: Physical science domains (catalysts, sorbents, coatings, LNPs, quantum and extreme‑environment materials) Autonomous experimentation (flow chemistry ecosystems, high‑throughput electrocatalysis, advanced characterization workcells) [8] [3] AI and modeling (property prediction, design spaces, BO/LLM‑augmented optimization) [9] [4] Your job is to translate this stack into narratives, launches, and evidence that resonate with: Industrial RD and technology leaders (energy, chemicals, 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). Translate PS product milestones (new AISF demos, CLUE campaign results, partner‑ready vignettes) into launch moments with clear offers, timelines, and success metrics. Align launches with priority commercial motions in physical sciences (Accelerated‑By‑Lila / Lila Superscientists, joint development, “agentic science” offerings). Messaging Positioning Develop crisp, value‑based messaging that explains how Lila’s platform accelerates: Catalyst and materials discovery for green hydrogen and electrochemistry LNP and advanced materials design for transport and separations Coatings, sorbents, and quantum / extreme‑environment materials discovery. Tailor narratives for RD executives, technical experts, and corporate innovation / sustainability leaders, clearly differentiating Lila from traditional HTE vendors, point‑solution AI tools, and CROs. Content Creation Build technical and visionary content, including: One‑pagers and solution briefs for specific domains (electrocatalysis, LNPs, sorbents, coatings, quantum materials). Case studies and “vignettes” that turn CLUE campaigns, flow‑cell workcells, and AISF demos into partner‑ready slides and visuals. Decks for executive meetings (e.g., Chevron, Merck‑style conversations), industry keynotes, and joint partner briefings. Website and industries‑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 directly to CLUE, flow chemistry, LNP, sorbent, and coatings capabilities. Competitive positioning and objection‑handling vs. other AI‑for‑materials and automation players. Simple ROI and value frameworks (faster time to best‑in‑class catalyst, better yield, fewer experiments, improved durability, etc.). Capture learnings from customer and partner meetings (Chevron, energy majors, OEMs, national labs) and feed them back into messaging and product feedback loops. Market Intelligence Insight Track competitive landscape and adjacencies in AI‑driven materials discovery, HTE vendors, simulation platforms, and industrial RD digitization. Synthesize customer signals from commercial conversations, conferences (e.g., GTC, sustainability and energy events), and federal initiatives to inform PS product and business‑model decisions. Help prioritize which PS stories to lead with in 2026 (e.g., CLUE results and green hydrogen, LNPs and targeted delivery, extreme‑environment coatings, quantum materials) to support revenue and partnership goals. Evangelism Representation Serve as a visible advocate for Lila’s physical sciences work—supporting Rafa, John, Rebecca, and PS researchers at events, webinars, and joint partner sessions. Coordinate with MarCom on PR and thought leadership that showcases CLUE, AISF for flow chemistry, electrocataly ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
