Additionally, you will collaborate with the field marketing and sales teams to drive attendance at Benchling's field events, such as executive dinners and happy hours, and staff tradeshows to follow up on leads collected at the Benchling booth. Your contributions will be vital in helping Benchling unlock the power of biotechnology through modern software solutions.
