Senior Product Manager @ Recursion Pharmaceuticals

Your work will change lives. Including your own.

The Impact You'll Make

At Recursion, we are reimagining drug discovery. As a Senior or Staff Product Manager, you will take ownership of our molecular design platform. You will be at the center of our Design-Make-Test-Learn (DMTL) loop, creating the tools that empower our scientists to design novel, high-quality drug candidates with unparalleled speed and precision. Your work will directly accelerate our portfolio, drive our partnerships, and contribute to our mission of decoding biology to radically improve lives.

In this role, you will:

Own the Vision: Develop and champion a compelling product vision and strategic roadmap for our molecular design platform, aligning scientific needs with Recursion’s mission to industrialize drug discovery.
Be the Customer's Voice: Act as the vital bridge between our scientists (your customers) and our technical teams. You will be deeply embedded with medicinal and computational chemists to understand their challenges and translate complex scientific requirements into clear, actionable product plans.
Drive Execution: Lead a cross-functional team of world-class cheminformaticians, AI/ML scientists, and engineers to deliver high-impact tools, from synthesis-aware generative models to advanced physics-based simulations.
Industrialize Discovery: Be a key driver in our push for industrialization. You will help standardize workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and build the foundational infrastructure needed for a truly scalable discovery engine.
Measure What Matters: Define and analyze metrics for product success, tool adoption, and scientific impact to ensure your team is focused on the most critical priorities for accelerating our drug discovery programs.
Communicate and Influence: Articulate strategy and progress to stakeholders at all levels, from individual scientists to the executive leadership team, ensuring alignment and excitement around our shared vision.

The Team You'll Join

You will be a core member of the Design Workflow team, an interdisciplinary team responsible for the end-to-end development and operation of our molecular design platform. We are the orchestration engine for the Hit-to-Lead (H2L) and Lead Optimization (LO) phases of drug discovery. Our team embodies a “Build & Operate” philosophy, intentionally integrating the development of the Recursion OS with its direct application in advancing our portfolio.

The Experience You'll Need

3+ years (Senior) or 5+ years (Staff) of product management experience, with a proven track record of launching and iterating on complex, technical products.
Deep experience with products that have a significant AI/ML or data science component. You are comfortable with the nuances of building, deploying, and improving machine learning systems.
A demonstrated ability to apply customer-centric product principles, whether in an external-facing role or by successfully treating internal users as customers. You are passionate about user research and feedback-driven development.
Exceptional systems-thinking skills; you can deconstruct complex scientific and technical workflows, identify key leverage points, and design elegant, scalable solutions.
Outstanding communication and influencing skills, with the ability to build strong relationships and align cross-functional teams across scientific and technical domains.
Bonus: A degree or equivalent work experience in chemistry, computational biology, bioinformatics, or a related scientific field.

Working Location & Compensation:

This is an office-based, hybrid position at either our London or Milton Park office located in London or Oxford, England. Employees are expected to work in the office at least 50% of the time.

At Recursion, we believe that every employee should be compensated fairly. Based on the skill and level of experience required for this role, the estimated current annual base range for this role is £72,800 to £116,100 (GBP). You will also be eligible for an annual bonus and equity compensation, as well as a comprehensive benefits package.

The Values We Hope You Share:

We act boldly with integrity. We are unconstrained in our thinking, take calculated risks, and push boundaries, but never at the expense of ethics, science, or trust.
We care deeply and engage directly. Caring means holding a deep sense of responsibility and respect - showing up, speaking honestly, and taking action.
We learn actively and adapt rapidly. Progress comes from doing. We experiment, test, and refine, embracing iteration over perfection.
We move with urgency because patients are waiting. Speed isn’t about rushing but about moving the needle every day.
We take ownership and accountability. Through ownership and accountability, we enable trust and autonomy—leaders take accountability for decisive action, and teams own outcomes together.
We are One Recursion. True cross-functional collaboration is about trust, clarity, humility, and impact. Through sharing, we can be greater than the sum of our individual capabilities.

Our values underpin the employee experience at Recursion. They are the character and personality of the company demonstrated through how we communicate, support one another, spend our time, make decisions, and celebrate collectively.
