What you’ll do:
- Own the global lead generation quota; develop and execute data-driven performance marketing strategies to aggressively grow Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) and Sales Accepted Leads (SALs)
- Partner with the CCO and Global Portfolio Leaders (GPLs) to define go-to-market strategies for our Life Sciences and our Materials Science suites, ensuring product positioning translates directly into the commercial pipeline
- Map and optimize the buyers’ journey from initial awareness through to advocacy, utilizing HubSpot, HighSpot, and Salesforce to track attribution and ROI
- Direct the creation of high-impact technical content (white papers, case studies, webinars) designed to capture intent and move pharma/biotech decision-makers through the funnel
- Identify emerging trends and competitive shifts in the market, ensuring Schrödinger’s value proposition remains the gold standard in computational chemistry
What you should have:
- At least ten years of marketing leadership experience (at least five years in B2B life sciences, biotech, or computational chemistry)
- Extensive experience managing performance marketing budgets and hitting MQL/Pipeline targets
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in a scientific discipline (Chemistry, Biology, or related field); an MBA is a plus
- Expert-level proficiency with HubSpot, Salesforce, MS Office, and Google Suite
- Robust experience in digital marketing via search and social media
- Familiarity with the drug discovery life cycle and informatics platforms
- Background in computational modeling or drug discovery informatics is a plus
