We’re looking for someone who thrives in an AI-native organization and can blend technical depth with sharp organization and project leadership. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver outcomes that matter.
As a Senior Product Manager, you will:
- Define the Vision: Articulate the "why" and "what" behind efficient, AI-enabled clinical genetic interpretation, review, and sign-out, ensuring the team solves high-impact problems before a single line of code is written.

- 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.
About you:
- Educational Foundation: B.S. or M.S. in Biology, Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Domain Expertise: Deep experience or knowledge of clinical genomics and variant interpretation; you understand the science behind the software.
- 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.
Pluses:
- CLIA/CAP and/or medical device experience.
- Some familiarity with SQL and relational databases, some simple programming abilities with any language
