At Alamar, we are passionate about enabling our customers to make scientific discoveries that translate into clinical outcomes and benefit patients. Our team is growing quickly as we develop innovative approaches to measure critical protein biomarkers from liquid samples that can enable the earliest possible detection of disease.

  • Build strong relationships with KOLs, earlyaccess partners, and strategic customers to collect insights and drive adoption. 
  • Champion the endtoend user experience across instrument operation, assay workflows, software usability, and data analysis. 
  • Manage revenue, margin, demand planning, pricing strategy, and lifecycle performance for the platform. 
  • Deliver business reviews, forecasts, and updates to leadership. 
  • Navigate complex stakeholder groups, resolve conflicts, and ensure crossfunctional alignment to achieve business objectives.

  • 10+ years of experience in life sciences, proteomics, diagnostics, or related markets, with a proven track record of commercial success. 
  • Strong experience with life science instrumentation, ideally integrating hardware, assays, consumables, and software. 
  • Background in R&D or product development, with the ability to translate technical requirements into customer‑centric product features. 
  • Experience with software development, informatics tools, or analytics platforms that support product and business insights. 
  • Demonstrated lifecycle product management experience for complex, multidisciplinary products. 
  • Proven ability to drive adoption of advanced technology platforms in emerging or growth‑stage markets. 
  • Strong technical and business acumen- business modeling, pricing strategies, market analysis. 
  • Exceptional communication skills—written, verbal, and power point presentation skills —with the ability to translate complex science into clear, compelling messaging and to persuade stakeholders at all levels. 
  • Demonstrated leadership skills with the ability to motivate, collaborate, and inspire cross‑functional teams in a fast‑moving environment. 
  • Ability to travel up to 50% domestically and internationally as required. 

Preferred: 

  • Direct experience with high-plex immunoassays, NGS-based proteomics, or related multi-omics platforms.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
