Job Description

As part of the Thermo Fisher Scientific team, you’ll discover meaningful work that makes a positive impact on a global scale. Join our colleagues in bringing our Mission to life every single day to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. We provide our global teams with the resources needed to achieve individual career goals while helping to take science a step beyond by developing solutions for some of the world’s toughest challenges, like protecting the environment, making sure our food is safe or helping find cures for cancer.

DESCRIPTION:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Marketing Manager to lead application-based marketing for the Molecular Biology business. This role will develop and execute integrated marketing strategies that span the full customer workflow, showcasing how our portfolio of products works together to enable success across research, development, and commercial manufacturing.

A critical requirement for this role is deep scientific and application-level understanding. The ideal candidate brings strong working knowledge of our molecular biology portfolio—including sample preparation solutions, reverse transcriptases, enzymes, thermal cyclers, cloning tools, competent cells, and OEM offerings—and, more importantly, understands how these technologies are applied within real-world workflows/applications such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), synthetic biology, and gene expression analysis. Marketing programs must be grounded in scientifically accurate, application-driven content that resonates with technical audiences and reflects how customers design and execute their experiments.

Beyond technical expertise, this role requires the ability to translate scientific knowledge into strategic and commercial impact. The candidate will build and lead cross-functional partnerships across marketing, commercial, and divisional teams to capture customer insights, monitor market trends, and assess competitive dynamics. These insights will be used to shape and continuously refine marketing strategies, ensuring alignment with a rapidly evolving landscape.

Success in this role requires a balance of scientific depth, strategic thinking, creativity, and disciplined execution. The candidate will design and deliver targeted, multi-channel campaigns that drive awareness, engagement, and demand generation across key segments. They will also define and track performance metrics to optimize campaign effectiveness and contribute to a strong, sustainable pipeline.

Operating effectively within a matrixed organization is critical. The candidate must influence without authority, align diverse stakeholders, and manage complex, cross-divisional initiatives—delivering high-quality outcomes on time and within budget.

REQUIREMENTS:

Education:

• A bachelor's degree in marketing, biology or a related field.
• An advanced degree in business or marketing is preferred.

Experience
