  • Driving AI enabled product development across compound design, optimisation and evaluation.
  • Partnering closely with scientific, engineering and data teams to deliver impactful products.
  • Supporting organisational growth and restructuring by establishing clear product leadership.
  • Ensuring products integrate effectively with complex scientific and molecular datasets.

Your Skills & Experience

  • Strong experience leading technical or platform product teams.
  • A background in scientific environments such as pharma, biotech or drug discovery.
  • Exposure to AI, machine learning or data driven products in production.
  • The ability to operate credibly with scientists, engineers and senior stakeholders.
  • Experience mentoring, managing or leading other product managers.
  • A blend of strategic thinking and hands on product execution.
  • An academic or professional background aligned to life sciences, computer science, chemistry or related fields, with experience outweighing formal qualifications.

What They Offer

  • A senior leadership role with clear strategic importance.
  • The opportunity to build and scale a new product team in the UK.
  • Significant influence over AI enabled scientific product development.
  • Competitive salary, benefits and long term career progression.
  • A collaborative environment working on complex, high impact scientific challenges.
