Product Support Analyst - Enterprise

Boston, MA

Biotechnology is rewriting life as we know it, from the medicines we take, to the crops we grow, the materials we wear, and the household goods that we rely on every day. But moving at the new speed of science requires better technology.

Benchling’s mission is to unlock the power of biotechnology. The world’s most innovative biotech companies use Benchling’s R&D Cloud to power the development of breakthrough products and accelerate time to milestone and market. 

Come help us bring modern software to modern science.

ROLE OVERVIEW

To succeed, you quickly develop a deep understanding of our products, our customers, their science, and their R&D processes. You use this knowledge to own and drive resolutions for our most complex issues, including those involving customer IT, security, and scientific teams, coordinating  cross-functional stakeholders (Engineering, Product, Technical Account Managers, Customer Success, Professional Services, and Sales). You lead or co-lead enterprise escalations as they arise, establishing clear ownership, cadence, and communication to restore outcomes and customer confidence. If you are passionate about life sciences, eager to join a cutting-edge software company transforming R&D, and motivated to lead high-stakes escalations with clarity, credibility, and calm, this role offers the chance to make an outsized impact for our customers and products.

  • Document and share knowledge by updating external articles and internal runbooks, decision logs, and templates so learnings improve future response and prevention.
  • Drive durable outcomes through RCA/CAPA: collaborate on root cause analysis, propose corrective and preventive actions, track follow‑through, and close the loop with customers and teams.
  • Mentor and uplevel the team through case reviews, shadowing, and coaching on investigation structure and customer communications; support onboarding new PSAs and contribute enablement content that scales.
  • Continuously improve support by leading scoped projects that streamline triage, tooling, and playbooks and by partnering cross‑functionally to surface patterns, influence product priorities, and raise overall readiness.
  • Participate in on-call rotations (including weekend/alternate shifts) as part of our global support model.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 5+ years of experience in IT, support engineering, product support, or similar.
  • Experience supporting enterprise customers, ideally global pharma/biotech.
  • BS or M.Sc. in Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Bioengineering,  Bioinformatics, or similar life science field, strongly preferred. 
  • Empathy for scientists and familiarity with lab/R&D environments; able to map scientific workflows to product behavior and troubleshooting.
  • Proven ownership of enterprise escalations and complex, multi‑party issues (customer IT/security + scientific users), from triage through closure and prevention.
  • Executive‑caliber communication. Exceptional written and verbal skills; comfortable leading tense calls, writing succinct leadership updates, and translating technical detail into business impact. 
  • Strong prioritization and decision‑making under ambiguity; ability to establish clear roles, timelines, and communication cadence in fast‑changing situations. 
  • Stakeholder management and diplomacy. Aligns internal owners and external stakeholders, sets realistic expectations, and sustains trust through transparent updates.
  • Hands-on, proactive, able to dive into logs, APIs, SSO/SAML/ flows, and network fundamentals (DNS, proxies, firewalls) to guide investigations and next steps.
  • Preferred: Experience working in regulated environments (e.g., GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, CSV) and producing RCAs/CAPAs that stand up to audit
  • Nice to have: Industry/technical fluency in Bioprocessing, Bioanalytics, regulated labs, healthcare, or Antibody Engineering; experience influencing prioritization with incident data.

  • Managing complex, multi‑party issues.
  • Navigating ambiguity, escalations, and long‑running investigations with clear ownership and accountability.

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. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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.
