A Career with Global Impact

At PerkinElmer, we build technologies that help scientists and laboratories solve meaningful problems — improving human health, ensuring food and environmental safety, and accelerating discoveries that impact lives worldwide.

For nearly 87 years, PerkinElmer has combined scientific expertise with digital innovation. This role sits at the intersection of product, strategy, and market impact — helping bring scientific software to global customers at scale.

WHY THIS ROLE WILL ACCELERATE YOUR CAREER

• Global exposure from day one — work on GTM strategies influencing multiple regions.
• High ownership early — contribute to strategic decisions, not just execution.
• Leadership visibility — collaborate closely with product, engineering, and commercial leaders.
• Purpose-driven impact — your work supports scientists whose discoveries improve human life.
• Accelerated growth — build capabilities that fast-track your path toward senior product leadership.

Why This Role Exists

Scientific laboratories worldwide are transitioning from legacy systems to modern, connected platforms. Adoption is the key to unlocking value.

As a Software Product Manager (GTM Strategy), you will define how breakthrough software is positioned, launched, adopted, and scaled across global markets.

Who This Role Is Designed For

This role is designed for ambitious, high-potential individuals who demonstrate strong ownership, strategic thinking, and the ability to drive outcomes without waiting for direction.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and execute global go-to-market strategies for scientific software products and platforms.
• Drive adoption and lifecycle transformation, including customer migration from legacy systems.
• Partner across product, engineering, commercial, and customer-facing teams to align strategy and execution.
• Translate customer insights and market signals into clear positioning and adoption plans.
• Track success metrics such as adoption, value realization, and business outcomes.
• Communicate product value through clear, compelling narratives for internal and external stakeholders.

What You Bring — Attitude & Aptitude First

• Strategic thinking with strong problem-solving ability.
• Comfort with ambiguity and ability to create clarity.
• Ownership mindset and bias for action.
• Strong communication and storytelling skills.
• Analytical curiosity and data-informed decision-making.
• Growth mindset with eagerness to learn.

Experience in product, strategy, consulting, or technology-led environments is valuable — but mindset, curiosity, and leadership potential matter most.

Your First 12 Months — Opportunities You’ll Get Early

• Work on GTM initiatives that influence multiple regions and customer segments.
• Partner directly with cross-functional leaders across product, engineering, and commercial teams.
• Shape adoption strategies that help customers realize value faster.
• Present ideas that inform real product and business decisions.
• Build a strong foundation in global product strategy and market execution.

You won’t have to wait years to make an impact — this role is designed to provide meaningful exposure, mentorship, and ownership from the start.

Career Growth & Leadership Path

This role is structured as a leadership pipeline opportunity. High performers typically grow toward Senior Product Manager / Group Product Manager roles, Global Product Strategy leadership, and portfolio or business ownership positions.
