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 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've set up and embedded a team with a client to deliver a large project, rather than only managing internal projects.
  • You've worked in a scale-up and know how to build structure where there isn't much yet.
  • You're comfortable working across Engineering, Finance, Legal and People stakeholders, and can translate between them.
  • You're highly organised, a clear communicator, and ready to hit the ground running.

Your Package

We are committed to providing a transparent, supportive, and rewarding work environment.

Compensation & Growth

  • Competitive Reward: Salaries are externally benchmarked annually to ensure market-aligned compensation.
  • Clear Career Path: A straightforward, open progression framework means you'll always know the path to promotion and how to achieve your next career goal.
  • Continuous Learning: Including external courses and a wide library of L&D materials, because your growth is our success.

Wellbeing & Time Off

  • Holiday: 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, plus an extra 3-day company-wide shutdown at year-end (pro rata for fixed-term contracts).
  • Financial & Health Security: Robust benefits including a market-leading pension scheme, comprehensive private health insurance for you and your family with NO excess, critical illness, and life assurance.
  • Enhanced Leave: Enhanced paid family leave to support all new parents.

Work Environment & Culture

  • Hybrid Working
  • Truly Inclusive Time Off: Our 'Bank Your Bank Holiday' program allows you to exchange public holidays for dates that hold personal or cultural significance to you.
  • Vibrant Social Culture: From regular Town Halls and team picnics to organised sports events, our social committee ensures frequent opportunities to connect and celebrate.
  • Green Commute: Cycle-to-Work scheme and convenient office locations near major transport hubs.

About Genomics

We are a pioneering transatlantic TechBio company that aims to transform health through the power of genomics. The company was formed in 2014 by four world-leading statistical and human geneticists at the University of Oxford, including Professor Sir Peter Donnelly and Professor Gil McVean. We use large-scale genetic information to realise preventative medicine and improve drug discovery.

We're a world-leader in genomic prevention: a paradigm-changing approach to sustainable healthcare which for the first time allows reliable, personalised estimates of risk for all the common diseases and cancers, well ahead of disease manifestation, allowing accurate and early interventions and tailored screening.

Our proprietary algorithms and databases offer something no competitor can: the ability to accurately link minute variation across the entire genome to changes in thousands of biological measurements and disease outcomes, to generate population-level insights for healthcare systems, individual-level insights for clinicians about the risk of common diseases, and new understanding of disease processes.

We work with leading life sciences and biotech companies, including Novo Nordisk and Vertex.

Our team is a multi-disciplinary group of world experts focused on finding powerful and creative solutions for bringing subject-leading science to as wide an audience as possible, and, in doing so, offer the chance of transforming lives around the world.

The workforce is highly qualified and consists of over 150 people, including world-leading genomic scientists, computational biologists, statisticians, software engineers, product developers, data scientists and commercial strategists.

We are headquartered in Oxford, with offices in Cambridge (UK), London (UK), and North Carolina (US), with labs in Framingham (US).
