About the Role
We are seeking a Product Manager with deep biology and/or pharma expertise to lead the development and prioritization of new scientific capabilities for our AI platform, Owkin K Pro. You will be responsible for defining product strategy, evaluating scientific quality, and engaging with the scientific community and customers.
Responsibilities
- Own product areas end to end, from discovery through delivery, turning ambiguous scientific and commercial problems into shipped product features.
- Be the scientific voice in the room: support business and pre-sales conversations where scientific credibility decides the outcome.
- Engage the scientific community: own relationships with top scientists and key opinion leaders (KOLs), turn their input into product direction, and monitor external scientific innovation.
- Lead competitive analysis at the level of actual science, assessing rival platforms on their methodology and results, not their marketing.
- Inform evaluation and benchmarking: define how we measure product and model quality, and how that performance is communicated externally.
- Partner closely with scientists, engineers, customers, and partners, and bring field insight back into the roadmap.
- Build and prototype hands-on with agentic and LLM tooling alongside the product team.
- Communicate clearly across scientific, technical, and non-technical audiences.
Requirements
- Deep biology and/or pharma scientific background, a PhD degree or equivalent in a life-science or ML-for-biology field, with the ability to read, judge, and challenge science on substance.
- A product management track record: discovery, prioritization, and delivery.
- Pharma/biotech application experience: you've shipped software into life sciences workflows and understand how scientific, clinical, stakeholders think and buy.
- Commercial product instinct: you connect product decisions to business outcomes: pipeline value, deal velocity, adoption, and renewal.
- Comfortable and credible in external-facing settings: scientists, key opinion leaders, customers, and partners.
- An AI-native mindset: fluent and hands-on with modern agentic and LLM tooling.
- A strong bias for action and comfort in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
- The ability to work fluidly across science, engineering, and commercial teams.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Fluent in English.
