The Mission: Why We Exist
Genomics is a science-led transatlantic TechBio combining large-scale genetic and health data with proprietary analytics to accelerate drug discovery and advance predictive, preventative healthcare. We are united by a single vision to help people live longer, healthier lives, using the power of genomics.
Genomics aims to help people live longer, healthier lives in two ways: super-charging drug discovery and development for novel treatments with our AI-enabled advanced genetic analytics platform, and by helping people understand their personal risk of common chronic diseases through polygenic risk scores - giving doctors and health systems the chance to get the right people into the right prevention, screening and treatment programmes at the right time.
Role Purpose
As Product Manager for Data and Analytics on Mystra, you'll be the bridge between ambition and execution, turning approved strategic initiatives into clear, scoped, buildable epics and features that engineers can run with and scientists can trust.
You'll own the move from discovery to delivery. You'll set out the why and the what so that the delivery team start every piece of work with total clarity, and then stay close as the person they turn to when priorities collide. Because Mystra is a scientific data platform, "done" means more than shipped. It means scientifically valid, technically sound, and tested against the criteria that matter to expert users.
A Day in the Life
Breaking down strategic initiatives into 2-4 well-scoped epics and features, with the reasoning behind every boundary written down
Pulling together user workflows, personas, edge cases, and constraints into a living "context document" your delivery team can rely on throughout execution
Working with Scientific SMEs to make sure requirements are scientifically sound, and with Data Services to understand ingestion capabilities and architectural constraints
Partnering with Engineering, Design, and User Research to check that what you're asking for is feasible, coherent, and grounded in real customer need
Running delivery kick-offs and bi-weekly check-ins, answering questions quickly, and making clear, well-reasoned prioritisation calls so the team keeps moving
Spotting recurring ambiguities and feeding them back to the Director of Product Management, so the next initiative starts sharper
Who You Are
Fluency with genomic data is a must. You can read a GWAS paper, know what a p-value is telling you, think about effect sizes and population diversity, and recognise data and analytics needs of a statistical geneticist.
Experience in product management or product ownership. You will be involved in writing strong requirements, working across functions, and weighing trade-offs
The ability to define features with clear "done" criteria and to leave story-level detail to your delivery team
Decisiveness and an execution mindset. You make the call and keep the team moving without becoming a bottleneck
Clear, direct communication, written and spoken, with engineers, scientists, designers, and product leadership alike

What We Do
We are a pioneering healthcare company that aims to transform health through the power of genomics. The company was formed in 2014 by four world-leading statistical and human geneticists at the University of Oxford, including Professor Sir Peter Donnelly and Professor Gil McVean. We use large-scale genetic information to realise preventative medicine and improve drug discovery. We're a world-leader in genomic prevention: a paradigm-changing approach to sustainable healthcare which for the first time allows reliable, personalised estimates of risk for all the common diseases and cancers, well ahead of disease manifestation, allowing accurate and early interventions and tailored screening. Our proprietary algorithms and databases offer something no competitor can: the ability to accurately link minute variation across the entire genome to changes in thousands of biological measurements and disease outcomes, to generate population-level insights for healthcare systems, individual-level insights for clinicians about the risk of common diseases, and new understanding of disease processes. In August 2018, we announced a multi-year collaboration with Vertex to use human genetics and data science to advance discovery of precision medicines. We also have several pilot programmes in development within UK and US healthcare systems. Our team is a multi-disciplinary group focused on finding powerful and creative solutions for bringing subject-leading science to as wide an audience as possible, and, in doing so, offer the chance of transforming lives around the world. The workforce is highly qualified and consists of over 150 people, including genomic scientists, computational biologists, statisticians, software engineers, product developers, data scientists and commercial strategists. We are headquartered in Oxford, with offices in Cambridge (UK), London (UK), and Boston (US).
