About Plasmidsaurus

Plasmidsaurus is on a mission to accelerate new cures and promote a healthier planet by unlocking a new level of productivity for scientists. Our sequencing services are used daily by thousands of innovators, including Nobel laureates, Fortune 100 pharma, and over 70,000 scientists.

We began by revolutionizing plasmid sequencing, making it exponentially cheaper and faster, with innovative sequencing technologies and a global network of laboratories that turn samples into answers in hours, not weeks.

Now we are expanding that same disruptive model across all of genomics. With the launch of our new RNA-seq service, we are taking a bold step toward our vision to sequence everything, providing scientists everywhere with faster, simpler, and more affordable access to the data that powers discovery.

Every team member at Plasmidsaurus plays a crucial role in driving the future of biotech research. Together, we are building the world’s most efficient sequencing engine that operates overnight, scales globally, and helps scientists make breakthroughs faster than ever before.

• Provide feedback to product and leadership teams based on partner insights and market signals

What We’re Looking For

• 7-10 years of experience in partnerships, channel management, business development, or strategic account management — ideally in biotech, life sciences, or scientific services

• Scientific fluency or experience working with researchers, labs, or genomics tools is strongly preferred

• Excellent relationship management and communication skills

• Proven ability to balance strategy and execution — you can think big and get in the weeds

• Comfortable working across departments and with global partners

• Highly organized, process-driven, and able to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment

• CRM and productivity tool experience (HubSpot, Notion, Google Workspace, etc.)

Nice to Have (but Not Required):

• Familiarity with DNA sequencing technologies, plasmid workflows, or molecular biology concepts.

• While deep scientific expertise is not required, curiosity and a willingness to learn the fundamentals of sequencing will set you up for success in this role.

Why Join Us

• Join a fast-growing, bootstrapped biotech innovator with ~$40M in revenue and global reach

• Help scale a high-impact partnership program from the ground up

• Work closely with executive leadership and scientific experts

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits

• Travel opportunities to visit partners and attend global conferences

• Be part of a mission-driven team that values curiosity, transparency, and science
