Sequencing Systems Product Manager

Oxford, UK (Oxford Science Park)

About Oxford Nanopore Technologies

Oxford Nanopore Technologies is headquartered at the Oxford Science Park, with a global presence across the US, APAC, and Europe.

Our nanopore sequencing platform is unique in offering real-time analysis, enabling rapid insights across fully scalable formats, from portable devices to population-scale systems. Our technology can analyse native DNA and RNA and sequence fragments of any length, delivering short to ultra-long reads. Our mission is simple but ambitious: to enable the analysis of any living thing, by anyone, anywhere.

The Role

We are looking for a Sequencing Systems Product Manager to join our team, supporting our low throughput sequencing systems portfolio.

In this role, you’ll work cross-functionally with R&D, marketing, commercial, operations, and regulatory teams to ensure the ongoing success, evolution, and growth of our low throughput sequencing products.

Reporting to the Director of Product Management, this position is ideal for someone with experience in product management or product marketing within Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) or life sciences

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end lifecycle management of low throughput sequencing systems
  • Define and maintain the product roadmap, driving continuous improvement
  • Partner with operations and supply chain to ensure product availability and sustainability
  • Collaborate with commercial, marketing, and regional teams to support product positioning and market growth
  • Analyse customer feedback, usage data, and market trends to drive data-informed decisions
  • Act as a subject matter expert, aligning R&D and commercial teams on product capabilities
  • Identify and mitigate technical risks across the product lifecycle
  • Support the development of product documentation, value propositions, and internal training materials

What We’re Looking For

  • Background in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) with a degree in life sciences (biology, chemistry, or similar) or equivalent experience
  • Experience in product management, product ownership, or product marketing roles
  • Strong understanding of sequencing technologies and workflows
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate complex concepts
  • A genuine passion for innovation, technology, and DNA sequencing
  • A collaborative mindset with the ability to build strong cross-functional relationships

Why Join Us?

At Oxford Nanopore, you’ll be part of a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in genomics—working on technology that is transforming research, healthcare, and beyond.

About Oxford Nanopore Technologies

Our goal is to enable the analysis of anything, anywhere, by anyone.

We have developed the world’s first and only nanopore DNA and RNA sequencing platform. It’s a new generation of sequencing technology — the only one to offer: scalability to portable or ultra-high throughput formats, real-time data delivery, and the ability to elucidate rich biological data.

We are aiming to disrupt the way that biological analyses are currently performed, and open up new applications that have a profound, positive impact on society.

Our devices offer real-time analysis, for rapid insights, in fully scalable formats — from pocket to population scale — and the technology is being used in more than 100 countries worldwide.

Founded in 2005 as a spin-out from the University of Oxford, the company now employs more than 600 people from multiple disciplines including nanopore science, molecular biology and applications, informatics, engineering, electronics, manufacturing and commercialisation. The management team, led by CEO Dr Gordon Sanghera, has a track record of delivering disruptive technologies to the market.
