  • Helping take products towards go‑to‑market readiness
  • Acting as a senior product voice within a fast‑growing startup

What we’re looking for

  • Strong experience across the full product lifecycle
  • Proven ability to define and execute product strategy and roadmaps
  • Experience scaling or maturing a product function
  • Comfortable working with complex, data‑heavy technology
  • Go‑to‑market experience is highly valued
  • Life sciences experience is beneficial, but not essential
  • 5-10+ years’ product fexperience

BENEFITS

The successful candidate will receive a salary of £105,000, alongside a competitive benefits package and share options.

This is a high‑autonomy role with real business impact, offering the opportunity to work on complex, meaningful products within a fast‑growing life sciences startup.
