Lead Data Manager in Oxford

Company Overview: 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.

Location: London or Oxford

Role Purpose: As the Lead Data Manager, you are the engine behind our data ecosystem. You will lead the identification, acquisition, and curation of high‑quality data for our SaaS platform, Mystra. You will bridge Science and Engineering, serving as the Product Owner for data management tooling, ensuring our infrastructure scales alongside our genomic strategy. You aren’t just managing data; you are governing the highly personal information that drives scientific discovery.

Day in the Life:

• Data Acquisition: research and secure new genomic data opportunities that align with our business needs.
• Technical Execution: write a Python script to pull data from a GWAS or integrate metadata from disparate systems into our cloud architecture.
• Governance & Privacy: act as the gatekeeper, evaluating complex datasets for licensing issues and ensuring privacy standards (TREs) are met before they reach our customers.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: partner with stakeholders to bridge the gap and ensure seamless ingestion.

Who You Are: Proven experience with global bodies such as UK Biobank, DB GAP, or EGA, and a deep understanding of data modelling and governance. An "investigatory" mindset, able to look at a dataset and identify potential privacy or licensing roadblocks before they become issues. High‑skill in Python and an understanding of compute architecture and cloud systems. A PhD in a genomic discipline (or equivalent industry experience) and can "speak the language" of Statistical Genetics and Bioinformatics.

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