Description du poste

Overview

Certara accelerates the potential of bringing medicines to market and to patients using biosimulation software, technology, and services to transform traditional drug discovery and development. Our clients include more than 2,400 biopharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, and regulatory agencies across 70 countries.

Our goal is to enable the life sciences industry’s use of data, modeling, and analytics to make better decisions across the various phases of discovery and drug development. Our software and scientists incorporate modern advances in scientific understanding, drug development experience, data analysis, and AI resulting in significant opportunities to decrease the cost and increase the probability of success for new drug approval and commercialization.

Senior Product Managers will deliver value to clients via improvements to our software product offerings. Specifically, you will identify problems and opportunities to direct our engineering R&D efforts and the improvements that create the most value—optimizing complex trade-offs in the process.

You sit at the intersection of business, UX design, and technology. You feel at home empathizing with customers’ business challenges, sharing thoughtful insights with product designers, writing detailed specifications for developers, passionately sharing your ideas to executives, politely saying “no”, making tough decisions without all the information you’d like, and pouring through data to extract the key insight, … all in the same day. You thrive on creating order from chaos and are a passionate advocate for creating systems and processes to avoid having to do the same thing twice.
