TL;DR · Senior Scientific Product Leader

As a Senior Scientific Product Leader within the Data and Digital Catalysts department of the Computational Sciences Center of Excellence, you will drive the strategy for lab workflows, research data, and AI/ML enablement to accelerate drug discovery. You will partner with scientific leadership to translate complex research needs into an outcomes-driven roadmap covering study design, protocol execution, and automated sample management. Your role involves ensuring high-quality, reproducible data through standardized ingestion, metadata management, and ontology-aligned integration of ELN, LIMS, and lab automation systems. You will lead AI product discovery, manage cross-functional delivery across engineering and UX teams, and oversee data governance to ensure interoperability. The position requires expertise in life-sciences R&D, FAIR data practices, API-first architectures, and the technical requirements for training-set curation and model reproducibility within a complex pharmaceutical research environment.

What you'll do

  • Define and execute a multi-year product roadmap for lab workflows, research data, and AI/ML capabilities.
  • Translate scientific priorities into technical requirements for study design, data acquisition, and processing pipelines.
  • Ensure all research data is high-quality, reproducible, and suitable for training machine learning models.
  • Lead the discovery and prioritization of AI/ML opportunities by partnering with scientists and engineering teams.
  • Drive data interoperability using API-first patterns, shared ontologies, and governed master data management.
  • Manage cross-functional delivery across product, engineering, data science, and UX teams to remove blockers.
  • Execute change management strategies including training programs, onboarding, and super-user networks to drive adoption.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of product leadership in life-sciences R&D including end-to-end ownership of complex products for scientists and lab operations.
  • Demonstrated AI product leadership in scientific research to translate needs into prioritized capabilities and scaled adoption.
  • Deep expertise in research data, including ingestion, processing, QC, harmonization, and lineage/provenance for analysis-ready datasets.
  • Strong systems and data-governance acumen involving API-first integration, data modeling, ontologies, and FAIR data practices.
  • Track record of delivering measurable scientific outcomes such as cycle-time reduction and improved data quality.
  • Skilled stakeholder leadership across scientific, technical, and executive audiences in a matrixed global organization.
  • Advanced degree in a life-science discipline or comparable hands-on lab experience (preferred).
  • Experience with lab automation ecosystems and instrument/data integration across key assay families (preferred).
