[Hiring] Commercialization Program Manager @Genus

Role Description

PIC, the world leader in porcine genetics, is preparing for the first commercial launch of the gene edited PRRS-Resistant Pig (PRP), a breakthrough in animal health that improves animal welfare, reduces antibiotic use, strengthens producer resilience, and meaningfully lowers the environmental footprint of pork production. To support this fast-moving program, PIC is hiring a Commercialization Program Manager to help drive cross-functional execution, support strategic decision-making, and keep high-priority commercialization workstreams moving at pace.

This role is ideal for someone who is analytical, organized, collaborative, and energized by the opportunity to help bring first-in-class biotechnology to market. Experience in agriculture or animal genetics is not required, but curiosity about life-science innovation, strong project management capability, and the ability to partner across functions to deliver results are essential.

The Commercialization Program Manager will report to the Director of New Product Commercialization and coordinate critical elements of the global PRP commercialization program. Responsibilities include:

• Conducting market and regulatory research.
• Identifying and engaging external experts.
• Supporting the organization of cross-functional projects.
• Preparing executive-ready materials.
• Ensuring follow-through across multiple internal and external stakeholders.

This role is essential in ensuring PIC can move at the speed to launch PRP globally. You will work at the intersection of science, strategy, operations, regulation, and customer engagement, gaining a uniquely broad perspective and making a direct contribution to the successful commercialization of transformational technology.

The salary range for this position is $105,000 - $122,000 USD.

You Will:

• Drive the day-to-day execution across PRP commercialization workstreams, ensuring deliverables remain on track.
• Support the maintenance of clear visibility across regulatory, supply, pricing, research, and commercialization workflows.
• Coordinate the work with cross-functional teams (R&D, Regulatory, Commercial, Legal, Sustainability, Product Development, Technical Services).
• Support the preparation for PIC’s first PRP commercial sales by ensuring operational readiness activities are progressing as planned.
• Conduct targeted research to identify experts, consultants, and specialized partners who can support key PRP commercialization needs.
• Coordinate vetting, scoping, contracting, and onboarding of external resources.
• Develop concise summaries, landscape analyses, and recommendations to support strategic decisions.
• Facilitate follow-ups across teams to ensure decisions translate into clear actions and completed deliverables.
• Maintain alignment between commercial, regulatory, supply, sustainability, and R&D perspectives.
• Support preparation and documentation for major meetings (internal and external).
• Prepare slide decks, briefing papers, decision memos, and summaries for senior leadership and global partners.
• Translate complex technical or regulatory information into clear, organized, business-relevant outputs.
• Support the development of commercialization frameworks and go-to-market readiness materials.
• Conduct targeted research, as needed, to inform the team on regulatory, market, or industry developments relevant to gene-edited livestock and related technologies.
• Support updates to PRP pricing, market models, supply planning assumptions, and customer engagement frameworks.
• Assist with due diligence and analysis for expansion into new geographies beyond the U.S. and early PRP markets in South America.
