KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Domain research & scientific intelligence
- Conduct secondary research with materials scientists, application engineers, and end-users to surface unmet needs across our target verticals – polymer engineering, nanomaterials & chemical engineering
- Track developments in academic literature, patent filings, and industry consortia to maintain a current view of the nanotechnology and advanced materials landscape
- Synthesize findings from lab evaluations, pilot programs, and customer discovery sessions into clear opportunity assessments
- Build and maintain relationships with key research institutions, university labs, and technical advisors as ongoing intelligence sources
- Map the competitive landscape across material platforms, synthesis methods, and application-specific solutions
Product vision & direction-setting
- Demonstrate technical credibility to engage the research and engineering team as a peer and build alignment on product direction.
- Define the product vision for target application areas, balancing scientific feasibility with commercial impact
- Translate research insights into prioritized product opportunities, with clear hypotheses, success criteria, and go/no-go thresholds
- Own and maintain the product roadmap, sequencing initiatives across long development cycles with clear milestones
- Identify and articulate the product bets the team should take — and those it should not — with supporting evidence
- Set measurable outcomes for each initiative and track progress against them through development and pilot stages
Engineering & R&D team enablement
- Write detailed product requirements and specifications that bridge scientific concepts and engineering deliverables
- Work through project managers to track execution progress and proactively push against schedule and scope drift
- Participate in sprint and R&D review cycles, maintaining alignment between discovery-stage work and product goals
- Make rapid, well-reasoned decisions on scope, trade-offs, and pivot points to keep the team unblocked
- Facilitate structured knowledge transfer between research scientists and product engineers to minimize translation loss
- Define acceptance criteria for technical milestones that connect lab outputs to real-world performance requirements
- Apply sufficient financial understanding to guide project managers in monitoring spend against plan, flagging budget risks early, and projecting resource requirements across the project lifetime
Stakeholder communication
- Communicate product direction and research rationale clearly to executive leadership, investors, and technical boards
- Align commercial, regulatory, and operations stakeholders on product positioning and development timelines
- Manage relationships with external pilot partners and research collaborators, translating feedback into actionable product inputs
- Produce roadmap updates and milestone reports that give non-technical stakeholders accurate visibility into progress and risk
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU
Required qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in product management, product ownership, technical program management, or research commercialization
- Strong foundation in material science, chemistry, nanotechnology, or a closely related scientific discipline (degree or equivalent professional experience)
- Demonstrated ability to conduct structured research — literature reviews, expert interviews, application analysis — and synthesize findings into product decisions
- Experience collaborating with research or engineering teams, with a track record of translating technical work into defined product goals
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex scientific topics to non-specialist audiences
- Comfort managing ambiguity across long development cycles where requirements evolve as science matures
Preferred qualifications
- Direct experience with nanomaterials, thin films, surface engineering, or materials characterization techniques
- Familiarity with technology readiness levels (TRL) and the commercialization pathway from lab-scale to production
- Prior experience in chemical and/or pharmaceutical production environments
- Understanding of relevant regulatory and safety frameworks (REACH, OSHA nano-material guidance, ISO/TC 229)
- Exposure to IP strategy and patent landscapes as inputs to product decision-making
CORE COMPETENCIES
- Scientific literacy — reads primary research and engages credibly with domain experts without needing everything simplified
- Research rigor — applies structured methods to generate reliable, actionable insights in a complex, evolving landscape
- Long-horizon thinking — operates effectively across multi-year development cycles without losing sight of near-term milestones
- Decisive under ambiguity — makes clear product calls even when the science is not fully settled
- Technical credibility — earns the trust of researchers and engineers by engaging genuinely with constraints and trade-offs
- Clear communication — translates dense scientific findings into compelling narratives for commercial and executive audiences
- Ownership mindset — treats the product area as their own and proactively identifies risks, gaps, and opportunities
