Job description

Schrödinger seeks a Vice President of Marketing to join us in our mission to improve human health and quality of life through the development, distribution, and application of advanced computational methods.

As a leader on our Marketing team, reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), you’ll architect our global marketing strategy and be responsible for building a full-funnel engagement engine that converts scientific interest into measurable commercial growth. In this role, you will elevate Schrödinger’s corporate brand equity and category leadership, while scaling a predictable lead-to-revenue machine that supports our mission to revolutionize drug discovery.

Who will love this job:

• A growth architect with a proven track record of scaling B2B SaaS or Life Science marketing organizations

• A science aficionado who can translate complex workflows into compelling business outcomes in collaboration with chemists and other computational researchers

• A data strategist and AI innovator who leverages attribution insights, GTM optimization, and real-time intent signals to build a predictable revenue engine

• An excellent team player who thrives in cross-functional environments (this hire will connect Product R&D, Global Portfolio Leaders, and Sales teams)

What you’ll do:

• Partner with the CCO and Global Portfolio Leaders to define go-to-market strategies for our Life Sciences and our Materials Science suites, ensuring product positioning translates directly into the commercial pipeline

• Own the global lead generation quota; develop and execute data-driven marketing strategies to aggressively grow marketing-qualified and sales-accepted leads

• Map and optimize the buyers’ journey, from winning attention through developing initial awareness and affecting advocacy, utilizing HubSpot, HighSpot, Salesforce and other technologies to track attribution and ROI

• Direct the creation of high-impact technical content (white papers, case studies, webinars) designed to capture interest, build intent, and move pharma/biotech decision-makers through to the Sales funnel

• Identify emerging trends and competitive shifts in the market, ensuring Schrödinger’s value propositions remain the gold standard in computational chemistry

What you should have:

• At least ten years of marketing leadership experience (at least five years in B2B life sciences, biotech, materials science, or computational chemistry)

• A track record of building and executing successful comprehensive marketing strategies

• Extensive experience managing marketing performance and budgets, and hitting MQL/Pipeline targets

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in a relevant scientific discipline (Chemistry, Biology, or related field); an MBA is a plus

• Proven experience architecting modern marketing technology stacks to drive account based marketing programs, enterprise-level attribution, and real-time commercial insights

• Robust experience in driving digital marketing initiatives

• Familiarity with the drug discovery life cycle and informatics platforms

• Background in computational modeling or drug/materials discovery informatics is a plus

Pay and perks:

Schrödinger understands it’s people that make a company great. Because of this, we’re prepared to offer a competitive salary, equity-based compensation, and a wide range of benefits that include healthcare (with dental and vision), a 401k, pre-tax commuter benefits, a flexible work schedule, and a parental leave program. We have a company culture that is relaxed but engaged and over a month of paid vacation time. Our Office Management team also plans a myriad of fun company-wide events. New York is home to our largest office, but we have teams all over the world. Schrödinger is honored to have been included in Crain's New York Best Places to Work, BuiltIn's NYC Best Place to Work, and Newsweek's list of America's 100 Most Loved Workplaces.

Estimated base salary range: $250,000 - $300,000.
