Senior Technical Product Manager - 12 Month FTC (we have office locations in Cambridge, Leeds [...] in London

Genomics England is a global leader in enabling genomic medicine and research, focused on creating a world where everyone benefits from genomic healthcare. Building on the 100,000 Genomes Project, we support the NHS’s world-first national whole genome sequencing service and run the growing National Genomic Research Library, alongside delivering numerous major genomics initiatives. By connecting research and clinical care at national scale, we enable immediate healthcare benefits and advances for the future.

Our mission is to provide the evidence and digital systems so that by 2035 genomics could play a role in up to half of all healthcare interactions, whilst securing the UK’s position as the best place to discover, prove and benefit from genomic innovations. We are accelerating our impact and working with patients, doctors, scientists, government and industry to improve genomic testing, and help researchers access the health data and technology they need to make new medical discoveries and create more effective, targeted medicines for everybody.

As a Senior Technical Product Manager, you will own and evolve data focused, backend and platform capabilities that underpin the Healthcare Genomic Service. These products are built on modern cloud infrastructure, API enabled architectures, and shared platform services, and are relied on by multiple teams across Genomics England.

This is an exciting senior role for someone who really enjoys shaping and running live systems, making complex data accessible, and understanding how platform decisions multiply value across teams. You will work closely with engineers, scientists, clinicians, and delivery partners, operating in a highly regulated environment where quality, security, and auditability matter.

• Owning and evolving data focused technical products, including existing live services used by multiple teams.
• Defining product vision, strategy, and outcomes for your product area, aligned to organisational priorities.
• Setting and owning squad OKRs, translating them into clear roadmaps and backlogs that balance BAU, technical improvement, and new capability.
• Managing products across multiple stages of the lifecycle, from enhancement and scale through to maintenance and strategic migration.
• Working with technical leads to shape API enabled architectures that scale value, encourage adoption, and abstract complexity for consumers.
• Understanding and articulating the long-term and cross team impact of platform and architectural design decisions.
• Ensuring products operate effectively within regulated environments, including compliance, audit readiness, and responding to assurance activities.
• Using data and proxy metrics to measure internal or indirect value where direct user metrics are not available.
• Collaborating across squads and product areas to shape shared capabilities, reduce duplication, and enable consistent platform guardrails without constraining teams.
• Confidently managing multiple stakeholder groups, communicating priorities, trade-offs, risks, and progress clearly and pragmatically.
• Taking ownership of problems and risks, solving them quickly and decisively with input from the right perspectives.

• Proven experience product managing data focused, technical backend or platform products used by multiple teams.
• Experience owning and improving shared platform services or components as products, with clear roadmaps, user insight, and measured outcomes.
• Strong understanding of modern engineering approaches, including cloud-based platforms, internal developer tooling, SRE concepts, and API driven systems.
• Comfortable shaping strategic roadmaps for platform products in line with organisational architecture and longer-term strategy.
• Experience defining evolution and migration paths from existing BAU systems to more strategic, scalable components.
• Confident balancing team autonomy with standardisation, ensuring platform guardrails enable teams rather than slow them down.
• Experience operating in regulated environments, with a solid grasp of compliance, assurance, and audit requirements.
• Able to define and use meaningful proxy metrics to demonstrate value for internal or indirect users.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence, listen, and collaborate across a wide range of disciplines and seniorities.
• Has a technical background with demonstrable strong technical competence, enabling close, credible collaboration with architects and engineers.
• Comfortable taking accountability for live systems, making pragmatic decisions, and continuously improving products already in use.

This role suits a Senior Technical Product Manager who enjoys working at the intersection of complex data, platform thinking, and real-world clinical impact, and who wants to shape products that quietly but critically enable genomic medicine at national scale. If you like building the platforms that make other teams successful, and seeing that work translate into real patient outcomes, this role is for you.
