About Us

K Pro is built on Owkin’s unrivalled multimodal patient data network, state-of-the-art AI for biology and a decade of experience working with pharmaceutical partners.

Please submit your CV in English
About The Product Team
Our system is called Owkin K Pro, an AI copilot for drug discovery and development, used by researchers, clinicians, in pharma companies or academia to better understand biology, validate scientific hypotheses, and deliver better diagnostics and therapies faster.
Owkin K Pro is our agentic AI platform for biology and drug development. Our Product Managers own the corresponding product strategy and work across science, engineering, customers, and partners. We're an AI-native team: we build and prototype the product, we don't only spec it, and we use agentic and LLM tooling every day.
About The Role
We're looking for a product manager with deep biology and/or pharma roots to own and prioritise the new scientific capabilities we’d like to build or connect to the platform, as well as how we measure, prove, and defend the scientific quality of our product to carry that credibility into the outside world. You'll define what differentiated tools or models we need to build or source, how we evaluate and benchmark what we ship, lead serious analysis of the competitive landscape, engage the scientific community, and be the scientific voice in front of customers and partners.
In Particular, You Will

In Particular, You Will
- Own product areas end to end, from discovery through delivery, turning ambiguous scientific and commercial problems into shipped product features
- Be the scientific voice in the room: support business and pre-sales conversations where scientific credibility decides the outcome.
- Engage the scientific community: own relationships with top scientists and key opinion leaders (KOLs), turn their input into product direction, and monitor external scientific innovation.
- Lead competitive analysis at the level of actual science, assessing rival platforms on their methodology and results, not their marketing.
- Inform evaluation and benchmarking: define how we measure product and model quality, and how that performance is communicated externally.
- Partner closely with scientists, engineers, customers, and partners, and bring field insight back into the roadmap.
- Build and prototype hands-on with agentic and LLM tooling alongside the product team.
- Communicate clearly across scientific, technical, and non-technical audiences.
Required qualifications / experience:
- Deep biology and/or pharma scientific background, a PhD degree or equivalent in a life-science or ML-for-biology field, with the ability to read, judge, and challenge science on substance.
- A product management track record: discovery, prioritization, and delivery.
- Pharma/biotech application experience: you've shipped software into life sciences workflows and understand how scientific, clinical, stakeholders think and buy.
- Commercial product instinct: you connect product decisions to business outcomes: pipeline value, deal velocity, adoption, and renewal. You don't just build what users ask for; you build what moves the business.
- Comfortable and credible in external-facing settings: scientists, key opinion leaders, customers, and partners.
- An AI-native mindset: fluent and hands-on with modern agentic and LLM tooling.
- Track record of publications / experience of research
- Experience in evaluation, benchmarking, or competitive / landscape analysis.
- Customer-facing or business-development-adjacent experience.
- Founder or early-stage startup experience in biotech or life sciences.
- Flexible work organization
- Friendly and informal working environment
- Opportunity to work with an international team with high technical and scientific backgrounds
- Please complete the form and submit your CV.

- Owkin is a great place to work. As a coveted workplace we are, unfortunately, vulnerable to recruitment phishing scams. We urge all job seekers and candidates to be wary of potential scams. Most of these have individuals posing as representatives of prominent companies, including Owkin, with the aim of obtaining personal, sensitive, or financial information from applicants. These scams prey upon an individual’s desire to obtain a job and can sometimes “feel” like a genuine recruitment process. Some red flags are identified below. Should you encounter a recruitment process that claims to be for Owkin but is not consistent with the below, please do not provide any personal or financial information:
- Legitimate Owkin recruitment processes include communication with candidates through recognized professional networks, such as LinkedIn.
- Check the identity of the talent team on LinkedIn
- Check our senior team on our website https://owkin.com/team/
