As a Senior Product Manager, you will:

• Accelerate Innovation: Drive the AI-driven "idea-to-prototype" cycle, testing and validating multiple solutions in days, not months.
• Simplify Complexity: Distill nuanced clinical needs into elegant, scalable product requirements while maintaining a relentless focus on priority.
• Balance & Scale: Navigate high-stakes tradeoffs to deliver efficiency and scalability without ever compromising on clinical quality.
• Unify Teams: Act as the bridge between lab directors, scientists, and global engineering teams to ensure seamless product releases.
• Guardian of Trust: Oversee the health of your product area, including data privacy, security, and governance within our AI-driven solutions.

Qualifications

• Proven PM Track Record: 3+ years of software product management experience in a biotech laboratory, ideally within a clinical setting.
• AI Fluency: Familiarity with integrating AI/ML models into production workflows—specifically how to leverage LLMs or generative tools to accelerate data interpretation and internal efficiencies.
• Clarity & Collaboration: Exceptional communication skills with a natural ability to translate complex technical/biological nuances into clear, actionable product needs.
• Execution Mindset: Highly organized and reliable. You thrive in ever-changing environments and have the backbone to make high-stakes, risk-based tradeoff decisions.
