The Product Marketing Manager at Quartzy will create positioning and messaging, drive go-to-market strategies, and collaborate across teams to support product launches and customer engagement.
Quartzy is seeking a Product Marketing Manager to bridge the gap between our product innovations and the scientists, lab managers, and procurement leaders who rely on us. In this high-impact role, you’ll craft the positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategies that bring Quartzy’s software and distribution offerings to life. Reporting directly to one of the founders, you’ll partner cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing to ensure Quartzy’s value is clearly understood, consistently communicated, and powerfully delivered
About You
You are a life scientist turned storyteller. With a strong foundation in the lab, you understand how scientists think, the challenges they face, and how to communicate solutions that make their work easier. You combine scientific credibility with exceptional communication skills, making complex concepts simple, compelling, and relevant for diverse audiences — from lab managers and procurement officers to researchers and executives. You bring high energy, curiosity, and creativity to every project, and you’re motivated by Quartzy’s mission to help scientists achieve their next discovery faster. You thrive in cross-functional settings, collaborating seamlessly with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to build narratives that resonate and drive adoption.
Why Quartzy
At Quartzy, we believe science moves faster when labs spend less time on logistics and more time on discovery. Our platform streamlines how labs order, track, and manage supplies so researchers can focus on scientific breakthroughs that change the world.
Quartzy is the world’s #1 lab management platform, trusted by hundreds of thousands of scientists worldwide. By combining SaaS and eCommerce in a unique business model loved by customers, we help researchers spend less time on logistics and more time on discovery. From cancer research and climate change to winemaking and vegan cheese, our impact is broad and meaningful. You’ll have the flexibility of remote work, the security of a profitable business, and the purpose of contributing to discoveries that matter. At Quartzy, your work has impact—on your life, your career, and on science worldwide.
What You'll Do
- Messaging & Positioning - Craft compelling value propositions for Quartzy’s software and distribution offerings tailored to different personas (lab managers, procurement, researchers, executives).

- Conference & Event Support - Shape messaging for Quartzy-hosted events (e.g., Labapalooza) and industry partnerships (e.g., NAEP, incubator programs).
- Cross-functional Leadership - Act as the bridge between Product, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure consistent and effective storytelling.
What We're Looking For
- Education: Bachelor's degree in a life-science related field.
- Scientific background: 3+ years of experience in a life science research laboratory ideally in a commercial environment (e.g. Biotech / pharma company), or a Master’s degree (or higher) in a life science field.
- Experience in fast paced environments: Small company (<200 people) experience. Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast paced environment. Natural bias for taking action.
- Product marketing foundation: Understanding of go-to-market strategies, messaging, and positioning; experience in SaaS, e-commerce, or life sciences is a plus.
- Communicator & storyteller: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex scientific and technical concepts.
- Customer empathy: Demonstrated success producing compelling content such as case studies, blog posts, webinars, or sales enablement tools tailored to customer needs.
- Procurement & workflow awareness: Familiarity with procurement systems (Coupa, Ariba, Jaggaer, Unimarket) and lab operations is strongly preferred.
- Mindset & motivation: High energy, mission-driven, and aligned with Quartzy’s vision of enabling scientists to focus more time on discovery.
