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 R&D 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 R&D 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.
