Biotechnology is rewriting life as we know it, from the medicines we take, to the crops we grow, the materials we wear, and the household goods that we rely on every day. But moving at the new speed of science requires better technology.
Benchling’s mission is to unlock the power of biotechnology. The world’s most innovative biotech companies use Benchling’s R&D Cloud to power the development of breakthrough products and accelerate time to milestone and market.
Come help us bring modern software to modern science.
The Solution Consultant - Business Value (SCBV) ensures that Benchling’s top customers get a solution that meets their needs precisely and delivers value aligned to the customer's business priorities. Their primary focus will be to engage with customers and executives to help articulate the tangible, strategic, and financial impact that Benchling can deliver to their organizations. SCBV deliverables will ultimately drive the customer’s decision on whether or not Benchling is selected as their solution.
SCBVs will have a strong executive presence and must have prior successful executive interaction. They are particularly adept at combining an in-depth understanding of the scientific and technical challenges with a customer’s business needs to define a tailored solution and the specific benefits of adopting Benchling across the organization. Often the use cases will be new, variable, and complex, and will require creativity in developing new solutions, business cases, and ways of engaging.
SCBVs are also responsible for defining the value journey of our customers in partnership with cross functional stakeholders in sales, solutions consulting, professional services, and customer success. This encompasses both enabling teams on value frameworks as well as developing tools and reusable assets. In addition, SCBVs stay informed about industry trends, competitive landscape, and emerging technologies.
