Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager – Causal Biology
Location: Remote – Europe
Contract: 12 months
About the Opportunity
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Product Manager to join a life sciences R&D product team, supporting digital transformation initiatives within a leading pharmaceutical organisation.
This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of product management, science and technology, helping to develop and improve digital products and platforms that support researchers, scientists and data engineering teams.
You’ll take ownership of product strategy and roadmaps, drive product development and ensure that business and scientific requirements translate into meaningful technical solutions.
We're looking for someone who brings strong product management experience alongside genuine scientific knowledge in areas such as life sciences, computational biology, bioinformatics, genomics or omics.
This is a hands-on product role, where you'll be involved in discovery, strategy, stakeholder engagement and delivery, rather than simply coordinating projects.
What You'll Be Doing
Own product strategy, roadmaps and prioritisation for assigned products and scientific data capabilities.
Drive continuous product discovery, innovation and new product development to support R&D acceleration.
Translate complex scientific and technical requirements into clear product plans, user stories and acceptance criteria.
Manage product backlogs using Jira, Confluence and Jira Product Discovery.
Lead product delivery through the full Product Development Lifecycle, from strategy and requirements through to design, launch and ongoing improvements.
Work closely with researchers, scientists, bioinformaticians, engineers and business stakeholders to understand their needs and deliver the right solutions.
Facilitate discovery sessions, user interviews, requirements workshops and design reviews.
Make informed decisions around product scope, priorities and trade-offs.
Oversee UAT, release readiness and product launches.
Work closely with engineering and data teams on technical feasibility, architecture, APIs, data flows and cloud-based platforms.
Identify opportunities to introduce AI and GenAI capabilities to improve product delivery, documentation and prioritisation.
Monitor product performance, gather user feedback and continuously identify opportunities for improvement.
What We're Looking For
8+ years of Product Management experience, ideally within technical, data or platform-focused environments.
A strong scientific background or proven domain experience in life sciences, computational biology, bioinformatics, genomics, omics or a closely related field.
Experience owning product strategy, roadmaps and end-to-end product delivery.
Strong understanding of scientific research workflows, biological datasets and R&D environments.
Experience working closely with software engineering, data engineering and technical architecture teams.
Strong requirements gathering, documentation and PRD writing skills.
Experience managing complex stakeholder relationships across technical and business teams.
Excellent knowledge of Jira and Confluence.
Understanding of APIs, data pipelines, cloud platforms and data integration.
Working knowledge of SQL, NoSQL databases and modern data engineering environments.
Familiarity with AI/ML platforms and MLOps practices.
Experience working within pharmaceutical or other regulated environments (GxP, 21 CFR Part 11).
Nice to Have
Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Exposure to High Performance Computing (HPC) environments and HPC-to-cloud migrations.
Knowledge of scientific computing applications and large-scale scientific data environments.
Understanding of authentication systems such as SSO and LDAP.
Relevant cloud certifications, such as GCP Professional Cloud Architect.
What's on Offer?
100% remote working within Europe.
12-month contract opportunity.
Company laptop and equipment provided.
Competitive compensation aligned with local market rates.
Interested?
If you have a strong product management background and the scientific knowledge to bridge the gap between research and technology, we'd love to hear from you.
