About GenScript
Founded in 2002 in New Jersey, GenScript Biotech Corporation accelerates innovation in biotech and healthcare by providing researchers and companies with the building blocks needed to develop groundbreaking treatments and products. Guided by its mission to Make People and Nature Healthier Through Biotechnology, and its role as a well-recognized biotechnology company, GenScript has a team of approximately 6,165 employees and has served more than 200,000 customers across over 100 countries and regions.
Senior Scientist, Product Planning and Development, Scientific Product Strategy - Life Science & Biotech Reagents
Position Type: Full-time, Strategic/Front-end Portfolio Management
This is a front-end product strategy and planning role where you'll define what GenScript should build over the next 3-5 years by identifying unmet customer needs, evaluating emerging technologies, and shaping the future portfolio of life science research reagents.
Location: Piscataway, New Jersey
Compensation: The estimated salary range is $125,000 - $155,000 based upon experience level.
Job Scope:
At GenScript, we believe great products begin long before the first experiment. As a Senior Strategic Product Planning Scientist - Life Science Reagents, under GenScript's Catalog Products Business Unit, you won't simply manage existing products-you will design the future of our life science research portfolio.
This role sits at the intersection of science, technology, customer insight, and business strategy, helping define WHAT products GenScript should build over the next 3-5 years. Focused purely on front-end strategic planning, you will define the target specifications (What) while liberating R&D to explore the best execution (How).
You will work closely with R&D, Marketing, Business Development, Commercial, and executive leadership to discover unmet customer needs, identify emerging technology opportunities, design high-barrier product portfolios, and shape long-term innovation strategy.
Key Responsibilities (What You'll Do):
1) Design Future Product Portfolio & Roadmaps
  • Portfolio Strategy: Build long-term product portfolio strategies across antibodies, recombinant proteins, enzymes, bioassays, protein purification products, Cell & Gene Therapy (GCT) reagents, and emerging technology platforms.
  • White Space Identification: Pinpoint technology white spaces and unarticulated customer needs to establish a sustainable, high-margin product menu.
  • Strategic Roadmapping: Formulate and maintain future product roadmaps aligned with global business unit growth objectives.

2) Customer Insights & Actionable VOC
  • Deep Workflow Understanding: Transform scientific insights into commercial opportunities by deep-diving into customer workflows, Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD), and Voice of the Customer (VOC).
  • Market Intuition: Keep a pulse on emerging research trends, technology evolution, and the global competitive landscape. Your goal is to discover latent opportunities that customers have not yet articulated.

3) Shape Innovation & Platform Strategy
  • Multidimensional Evaluation: Evaluate future portfolio opportunities by integrating scientific feasibility, customer value, market potential, competitive differentiation, intellectual property (IP), and business economics.
  • Make vs. Buy Assessment: Conduct thorough "Build vs. Buy vs. Partner" assessments to support annual strategic planning and executive innovation reviews.

4) Connect Science with Business
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner seamlessly with R&D, Marketing, Business Development, Commercial, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and QA/RA to transform raw ideas into high-impact product development programs.
  • Executive Communication: Develop data-driven strategic recommendations and business cases to guide executive investment decisions.

Education:
  • PhD preferred (Master's degree with exceptional industry experience will also be highly considered) in:
    • Biology / Cell Biology
    • Immunology
    • Protein Engineering / Antibody Engineering
    • Biochemistry / Bioengineering or related life science disciplines.

Experience:
We are looking for an individual who seamlessly combines scientific depth with corporate strategic thinking. Preferred experience includes one or more of the following:
  • Protein engineering, Antibody discovery & optimization
  • Cell & Gene Therapy (GCT) reagent development
  • Functional proteins and Bioassays
  • Advanced protein purification technologies

Highly Desirable: Experience and service in Early Discovery, Platform Development, or CMC within biopharma or top-tier CROs.
A Strong Plus: Direct experience interacting with biopharma customers, supporting business development, technical marketing, or corporate strategic planning.
Core Competencies:
  • Strategic Thinking & Systems Thinking
  • Scientific Curiosity & Innovation Management
  • Customer-Centric Mindset (VOC/JTBD)
  • Portfolio Design & Market Insight
  • Cross-functional Leadership & Executive Communication
  • Data-driven Decision Making

What Makes You Successful:
You are someone who naturally enjoys asking questions such as:
  • Why do customers need this? What problem are we really solving?
  • Is this the best, highest-barrier product we could build?
  • What technology will define the next five years of drug discovery?

You possess the rare ability to synthesize Scientific Innovation, Customer Insight, Business Opportunity, and Technology Strategy into clear, decisive product definitions.
