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.

A Day in the Life

Building and running the integrated delivery plan for the account: milestones, dependencies, risks and resourcing.

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.

Who You Are

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

You're comfortable working across Engineering, Finance, Legal and People stakeholders, and can translate between them.

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

Holiday: 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, plus an extra 3-day company-wide shutdown at year-end (pro rata for fixed-term contracts).

Enhanced Leave: Enhanced paid family leave to support all new parents.
