Vice President, Product

Your work will change lives. Including your own.

The Impact You’ll Make:

As the Vice President, Product, you’ll have a critical role in shaping the strategic direction of the next generation of the Recursion OS, the integrated technical and scientific solutions that underpin end-to-end drug discovery at Recursion. You’ll drive product innovation across multiple areas from in silico data science to large-scale wet lab data generation in our robotic laboratories. Your work will significantly impact the speed and accuracy of drug discovery pipelines through our next generation of machine learning models, as well as innovations related to our emerging scaled proteomics and automated chemistry platforms, along with our high throughput transcriptomics and cellular imaging pipelines. Leveraging advances in active learning and scientific AI agents, you’ll also look for novel product opportunities that transform the drug discovery process to find new ways to deliver more and better treatments to patients, faster.

In this role, you will:

• Build the next generation of the Recursion OS, the integrated technical and scientific solutions that underpin all drug discovery at Recursion.
• Create strategic plans for the Recursion OS, to solve for emerging business opportunities using Recursion’s AI and data science, laboratory robotics, biology and chemistry.
• Align leadership across the executive team/C-suite, fellow VPs, and communicate product vision and progress to the company board.
• Ensure coordinated delivery of new solutions across a broad and diverse set of interdisciplinary scientific and technical teams, including through your team of product managers.

The Team You’ll Join:

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.

The Values That We Hope You Share:

• We Care: We care about our drug candidates, our Recursionauts, their families, each other, our communities, the patients we aim to serve and their loved ones. We also care about our work.
• We Learn: Learning from the diverse perspectives of our fellow Recursionauts, and from failure, is an essential part of how we make progress.
• We Deliver: We are unapologetic that our expectations for delivery are extraordinarily high. There is urgency to our existence: we sprint at maximum engagement, making time and space to recover.
• Act Boldly with Integrity: No company changes the world or reinvents an industry without being bold. It must be balanced; not by timidity, but by doing the right thing even when no one is looking.
• We are One Recursion: We operate with a 'company first, team second' mentality. Our success comes from working as one interdisciplinary team.
