Job Description
The Opportunity
Help shape the platform behind the UK’s national clinical and genomic infrastructure.
We're looking for an experienced Senior Product Manager to lead a portfolio of platform products that underpin the Healthcare Genomics Service. These are not end-user-facing products; they are the critical data stores, APIs, and shared capabilities that other engineering teams and healthcare systems depend on daily.
If you’re excited by platform product strategy, enabling complex systems, and working alongside exceptional engineers to solve difficult technical problems with real-world impact, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Role
At Genomics England, we’re building the digital foundations that enable genomic medicine at scale.
You’ll own a portfolio of production platform products that support genomic data processing and access across the Healthcare Genomics Service.
This is a highly technical platform product role, best suited for Product Managers with proven experience working on internal platforms, infrastructure, or developer tooling rather than customer-facing products. You’ll make tactical and strategic decisions that improve reliability, scalability, and developer experience across multiple teams, striking a balance between today’s operational needs and long-term platform evolution.
You’ll work at the intersection of product, engineering, and architecture, shaping capabilities that enable the wider organisation to move faster while maintaining consistency and high standards required in a regulated healthcare environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the vision, strategy, and roadmap for shared platform products, ensuring their capabilities deliver measurable value across Genomics England and the wider NHS ecosystem.
- Work closely with engineering teams and technical leads to shape scalable, API-first services and reusable platform capabilities.
- Balance:
- Platform evolution
- Operational stability
- Technical debt
- New delivery against organisational priorities.
- Work with peers to define a clear long-term platform product strategy, and drive the migration away from legacy components towards that future.
- Use data and meaningful outcome measures to understand platform health and impact.
- Partner across multiple teams to:
- Identify common capabilities
- Reduce duplication
- Improve developer experience
- Operate confidently in a complex, regulated environment with strong governance and assurance requirements.
- Build trusted relationships with technical and business stakeholders, and make transparent prioritisation and trade-off decisions.
- Mentor Product Managers and contribute to product excellence across the organisation.
