Product Lead

Role Description

As a Product Lead at BioRender, you will operate with end-to-end ownership over a meaningful area of our product. This is not a roadmap-maintenance role. You will lead a small, high-impact team of engineers and designers to:

• Identify problems worth solving
• Define what success looks like
• Drive solutions from concept through launch and iteration

Your success will be measured in the market impact you create through the product. This role is well-suited for someone who has operated in high-ambiguity environments, has built products or companies from early stages, and is motivated by owning outcomes, not just shipping features.

You will own a specific product area based on your strengths, interests, and BioRender’s highest-leverage needs, helping scale products that millions of scientists around the world rely on to communicate their breakthroughs.

What you'll be doing:

• Own and evolve a product area end-to-end, from problem discovery and vision through execution, launch, measurement, and market success
• Help define and deliver features and products that our users genuinely love and rely on
• Drive the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for your area, balancing short-term wins with long-term bets
• Be accountable for outcomes: success metrics, adoption, and user impact—not just output
• Identify opportunities where AI can unlock new workflows, automation, or intelligence, and partner closely with engineering and design to bring them to life responsibly and pragmatically
• Leverage data from millions of users, alongside strong product intuition, to identify opportunities and make clear prioritization tradeoffs
• Spend meaningful time with users—talking to them, observing workflows, and validating ideas—to ensure we’re building the right things
• Lead and inspire a cross-functional team of engineers and designers through clarity, context, and decisive judgment
• Use AI tools in your own work (e.g., research synthesis, prototyping, analysis) as a force multiplier to increase speed and quality of execution
• Contribute to the evolution of BioRender’s product culture, principles, and operating practices as we scale

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in fast-growing SaaS environments
• Experience operating with high ownership and autonomy, including defining what to build—not just how to build it
• Founder, early-stage startup, or 0→1 experience is a strong plus (including having built products, teams, or companies)
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams toward outcome-oriented goals and influence executive leadership
• Strong product judgment, with the ability to synthesize user insights, data, and business context into clear decisions
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with comfort explaining complex ideas simply
• Deep alignment with BioRender’s mission and excitement about building for scientists
• Background in life sciences is a plus but not required; curiosity about science and scientists is essential

Benefits

• Mission-driven work: collaboratively improving scientific communication and accelerating scientific discovery
• BioRender figures have appeared in more than 54,000 publications!
• World-class NPS and a community of loyal fans and users in 200+ countries!
• Backed by top investors and accelerators like Y Combinator
• Remote-first culture with team members across Canada and the U.S.
