Role Summary

AstraZeneca's cancer and translational scientists rely on a chain of omics platforms to get from a sample to an insight: sample metadata management, omics processing, a molecular data warehouse, a cancer genomics portal, and single-cell and spatial analytics tools. We are seeking a Product Owner, Omics & Data Platforms, to own several of these platforms and to keep the chain working for the people who use it.

Key Responsibilities

Product Ownership and Roadmap

• Own the roadmap and backlog for the cancer genomics portal and the single-cell and spatial analytics platforms, and prioritise work with engineering and vendor partners.
• Support the owners of the other platforms in the sample-to-insight chain, and keep a clear view of how data moves between them.
• Maintain a current record of each platform's users, usage, cost and risks.

Vendor, License and Contract Management

• Manage relationships with commercial vendors and open-source partners, and track delivery against agreed scope.
• Prepare the case for renewals and changes to licenses, including usage, cost per user and alternatives, working with procurement and finance.
• Help assess successor options in good time, so that contract end dates do not force a decision.

Platform Operations and Users

• Make sure platforms meet agreed service levels, and work with engineering and support teams on incidents, releases and upgrades.
• Run access, onboarding and training for users in different regions, and collect feedback to guide the roadmap.
• Plan regional deployments or instances, for example for users in China or Japan.

Data Standards and Integration

• Apply FAIR data principles and metadata standards across your platforms, working with data owners and platform engineering.
• Define how platform data is exposed to AI agents and other tools through governed interfaces, with security and data owners.
• Work through ownership gaps between platforms, such as sample identifiers and shared metadata.

Compliance, Privacy and Quality

• Make sure platforms follow data privacy, access approval and data residency requirements, including controls for human-derived data.
• Complete governance and AI reviews for platforms that add AI features.
• Keep documentation current for audit and review.

Financial Stewardship

• Track infrastructure, license and contractor cost against plan and flag overruns early.
• Contribute to planning cycles with a clear view of run cost and options.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with computational biologists, translational and oncology scientists, engineers, vendors, procurement and finance.
• Communicate clearly about platform availability, limits and plans.

Desired Profile

Experience

• 5 or more years of experience working with or managing omics data platforms or bioinformatics tools, ideally in a pharmaceutical or translational research setting.
• Experience as a product owner or product manager, or in a role with equivalent ownership of a scientific platform.
• Understanding of genomic, transcriptomic or single-cell and spatial data and how scientists use it.
• Experience managing vendor relationships, licences and renewals, including working with procurement.
• Fluency with FAIR data principles and metadata standards.
• Working knowledge of cloud-based data environments and how scientific platforms are run and supported.
• Understanding of data privacy and controlled handling of human-derived data.
• Ability to communicate with both scientists and engineers.

Desirable

• Experience with open-source scientific software and its communities.
• Familiarity with AI agents and how they connect to scientific data.
• Experience with oncology data.
• Working knowledge of Atlassian tools (JIRA, Confluence).
