Your Role
We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead and grow MilliporeSigma's Multiomics portfolio within our Biochemistry business, with a specific focus on metabolomics and glycomics.

The position sits within the Chemistry business field of Discovery Solutions and reports to Biochemistry business leadership.
Key Responsibilities:
Portfolio Strategy and Innovation Pipeline
- Define and own the multi-year product roadmap for metabolomics and glycomics, anchored in a workflow-centric approach spanning sample preparation, derivatization, separation, detection, and data interpretation.

- Develop and execute launch plans for new multiomics products and workflow kits, including pricing strategy, positioning, channel strategy, and commercial readiness.
- Champion a workflow-based go-to-market framework by building product bundles, application notes, and protocol libraries that drive pull-through across the Biochemistry portfolio.
- Partner with the marketing communications team to develop technical content, including application notes, webinars, and conference presentations, that establish MilliporeSigma as the authoritative voice in multiomics.
- Support sales and key account teams with competitive briefings, deal support, and customer-facing presentations; monitor the portfolio lifecycle and lead phase-out decisions for underperforming SKUs.
External Partnerships and Business Development
- Identify, negotiate, and manage strategic partnerships with instrument manufacturers (MS, LC, CE platforms), software and informatics providers, and academic centers of excellence.
- Collaborate with the Business Development team to evaluate in-licensing, co-development, and acquisition opportunities that strengthen the multiomics portfolio.
- Build and maintain a network of KOLs, academic collaborators, and industry thought leaders; represent MilliporeSigma at key scientific conferences including ASMS, Metabolomics Society, HUPO, and SLAS.
Cross-Functional Leadership and Collaboration
- Serve as business owner and internal champion for the multiomics portfolio, aligning R&D, supply chain, regulatory, quality, and commercial stakeholders around shared priorities.
- Partner with R&D and Applications teams to define product specifications and ensure the application relevance of new products.
- Contribute to the Biochemistry AOP and mid-term planning processes with data-driven portfolio analyses, revenue forecasts, and opportunity assessments.
- Mentor and provide guidance to junior product management and marketing staff on best practices and commercial execution.
This role will be based in Burlington, MA with Milwaukee, WI as an alternate location.
