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.
Role Purpose
We're building a dedicated delivery team around one of our most important partnerships, and we need an experienced Programme/Project Manager to make it work.
This is a client-facing role with the feel of a consulting engagement. You'll set up and embed a multidisciplinary team, then coordinate delivery across our various internal functions
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 highly organised, a clear communicator, and ready to hit the ground running.
