Backed by a $13.5M seed round led by a16z, Menlo Ventures and Anthropic, and advised by Nobel Prize laureate and pioneering biologists, Phylo is building the next generation of AI systems for the life sciences.

About the Role

Phylo is looking for a customer-oriented team player to own the post-sales experience for our most strategic enterprise accounts, and help us figure out what great customer success looks like at an early-stage company.

This is a hands-on role for someone who moves fast, thrives without a playbook, and wants to build one.

What you’ll do as an Forward Deployed Strategist at Phylo:

• Own the full post-sales journey for a portfolio of enterprise accounts, with a sharp focus on driving adoption and consumption of Biomni Lab.

• Build relationships across the org — from VPs of Research to bench scientists and computational biologists — and become the person they call first.

• Turn ad-hoc support into repeatable success plans; proactively identify and intervene when usage dips or blockers emerge.

• Drive long-term NRR by proving clear ROI and partnering with AEs to surface expansion opportunities across new teams and business units.

• Partner with our biologists and engineers to prioritize and structure user feedback — you're a direct line between users and the roadmap.

• Lead onboarding workshops and business reviews that actually change how teams work.

• Handle front-line support for your accounts; no problem is beneath you.

What We're Looking For:

• 2–4+ years in a customer-facing role — Customer Success, Account Management, Solutions Engineering, or Consulting — supporting enterprise customers, ideally in top 20 biopharma.

• Strong biology intuition; you can translate technical capabilities into outcomes researchers care about.

• Builder mindset: you want to create the function, not slot into an established one.

• You're comfortable moving fast in ambiguous situations and don't wait to be told what to do.

• Startup experience where ownership is high and roles are fluid.
