You’ll work closely with a close-knit group of VPs and executives to create and implement strategy for our Recursion OS, balancing perspectives, opportunities, requirements and dependencies. You’ll also lead a team of over a dozen product managers, across Recursion’s international locations, working closely within interdisciplinary teams that in total span hundreds of experts in data science, machine learning, biology, chemistry, automation and more.
The Experience You’ll Need:
- Creative: Experience articulating new creative, bold product solutions.
- Execution: Ability to identify and implement clear and efficient practices for enabling simultaneous delivery across multiple, complex product areas.
- People-centered: Clearly defined experience effectively collaborating, influencing and leading across interdisciplinary domains, including “up and out” to peers, executives and board members.
- Leadership: 5+ years of experience in a senior leadership role in technical product management, technical entrepreneurship, as a founder, or similar.
- Scientific: Expertise in a human health or natural science domain, such as biology, chemistry or medicine
Working Location:
- This position can be based at our headquarters in Salt Lake City, or at our offices in Toronto or London. Relocation is available for qualified candidates not local to these areas. Our work model is hybrid, and we ask that office-based employees spend 50% of their time on site weekly.
