Qualifications

• A project manager who has delivered consulting-style projects for life sciences clients (pharma, biotech or healthcare).

• You're highly organised, a clear communicator, and ready to hit the ground running.

Responsibilities

• Bringing together the right people from across Genomics and getting a new team working as one, fast.
• Running the delivery rhythm with our partner, including status meetings, reporting and a clear route for escalations.
• Working with Finance on budgets, forecasts and commercial milestones, and with Legal on scope and contract changes.
• Spotting blockers early and clearing them before they slow the team down.
• Keeping senior stakeholders on both sides informed, aligned and confident.

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.
