Product Manager - Bioinformatics
Oxford Nanopore Technologies aims to bring the widest benefits to society by enabling the analysis of anything, by anyone, anywhere. We have developed a new generation of nanopore-based sensing technology for faster, information-rich, accessible, and affordable molecular analysis. Our first application is DNA/RNA sequencing, and the technology is in development for the analysis of other types of molecules, including proteins. The technology is used to understand and characterise the biology of humans and diseases such as cancer, plants, animals, bacteria, viruses, and whole environments. With a thriving culture of ambition and strong innovation goals, Oxford Nanopore is a UK headquartered company with global operations and customers in more than 125 countries.
About the Role
We are seeking a Product Manager - Bioinformatics who is comfortable working in a scientific environment, with experience translating customer needs and technical opportunities into product strategy, priorities, and requirements.
