Full Job Description
Overview

Bio-Rad is looking for a driven, science-passionate Product Manager II to join our Life Science Group, focused on our Western blotting and proteomics product portfolio. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives at the intersection of the bench and the business — someone who gets equally excited about a clean blot and a well-crafted go-to-market strategy. You'll own product lifecycle activities from development through commercialization, working closely with R&D, marketing, sales, and customers to bring innovative tools to the life science research community. 

How You’ll Make An Impact: 

  • Serve as the internal champion and market authority for your product lines. 
  • Partner with R&D to shape new product development, define customer requirements grounded in your hands-on technical expertise, and translate complex science into compelling value propositions. 
  • Develop and execute launch plans, create technical marketing content, support field sales teams with training and collateral, and actively engage with customers and key opinion leaders to stay ahead of market needs. 
  • Monitor competitive dynamics and portfolio performance, providing strategic input to drive sustainable growth. 
  • This role requires a self-starter who brings both intellectual curiosity and commercial instincts — someone energized by customer interaction, comfortable presenting to scientific audiences, and motivated by seeing their products make a real difference in research labs around the world. 
  • Travel of up to 20% is expected, including some international travel to conferences, customer sites, and regional sales teams.  

What You Bring: 

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry, Biology, or a closely related life science discipline; Master's degree, Ph.D, or MBA preferred 
  • Work Experience: 3–5 years of product management experience in life science tools, reagents, or instrumentation. 
  • Hands-on, practical laboratory experience with electrophoresis and Western blotting is required. 
  • Working knowledge of additional proteomics workflows and protein analysis techniques strongly preferred. 
  • Experience with chromatography and immunoassay platforms is a plus. 
  • Demonstrated ability to develop and execute product marketing strategies, including product launches, positioning, and competitive analysis. 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for diverse audiences. 
  • Ability to travel up to 20%, including occasional international travel.

Location: This position must be based in Hercules, CA and requires the employee to be located within commuting distance of the office.

Total Rewards Package: At Bio-Rad, we’re empowered by our purpose and recognize that our employees are as well. That’s why we offer a competitive and comprehensive Total Rewards Program that provides value, quality, and inclusivity while satisfying the diverse needs of our evolving workforce. Bio-Rad's robust offerings serve to enrich the overall health, wealth, and wellbeing of our employees and their families through the various stages of an employee’s work and life cycle.

 

Benefits: We’re proud to offer a variety of options, including competitive medical plans for you and your family, free HSA funds, a new fertility offering with stipend, group life and disability,  paid parental leave, 401k plus profit sharing, an employee stock purchase program, a new upgraded and streamlined mental health platform, extensive learning and development opportunities, education benefits, student debt relief program, pet insurance, wellness challenges and support, paid time off, Employee Resource Groups (ERG’s), and more! 

 

Compensation: The estimated base salary range for this position is $121,200 to $166,700 at the time of posting. Actual compensation will be provided in writing at the time of offer, if applicable, and is based on several factors we believe fairly and accurately impact compensation, including geographic location, experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, and other job permitted factors.
