Full Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Product Manager who will be accountable for designing and delivering the road map for molecule design products to support GSK Research and Development. This role will be pivotal in ensuring a cohesive enterprise level strategy towards molecule design solutions and will ensure our scientists have access to best-in-in-class technology products to improve research productivity and ultimately deliver new medicines for our patients.

In this role you will:

-        Own and lead the product roadmap, product development, launch and adoption of novel molecule design solutions to benefit the scientific community at GSK across multiple departments

-        Play a key role in defining the strategic direction for molecule design tools with GenAI capabilities at the core

-        Partner closely with the wider Onyx tech team, as well as R&D scientists and leaders, to deliver industry-leading cloud-based products and solutions with GenAI and agentic capabilities. 


Key responsibilities include-

Product Strategy and Roadmap: Develop and execute a comprehensive product strategy and roadmap for molecule design solutions and tools, aligned with the Onyx’s overall product vision and objectives.

Customer Understanding: Conduct in-depth customer research, gather customer insights, and engage with customers regularly to understand emerging requirements.

Product Planning and Definition: Collaborate with stakeholders to define product requirements, features, and specifications based on customer feedback, product vision, and business goals.

Agile Product Development: Work closely with portfolio and engineering teams in an agile environment to ensure successful and timely delivery of product releases, including prioritization, sprint planning, and backlog management.

GenAI Product and Capability Upgrade:

Spearhead the development of a new class of AI Agents, powered by LLMs and Generative AI, designed to autonomously execute complex scientific research tasks like hypothesis generation, experimental design, and data interpretation.

Design and productize the human-agent interaction layer, moving beyond traditional UIs to create conversational and goal-driven interfaces that allow scientists to delegate multi-step tasks and interpret the outputs of autonomous GenAI systems.

Own the product lifecycle for models and agents, leading the strategy for data acquisition, model fine-tuning, and the development of APIs/agents that allow them to be leveraged as "tools" by other agents and systems.

Model-In-The-Loop Design: Structuring products so that R&D users can easily challenge, verify, and provide feedback to improve the agentic tools and underlying models (human-guided iteration). Demonstrate Human + AI collaboration with minimum friction to drive user adoption.

Lead highly technical product discussions with engineering leaders, translating ambiguous scientific objectives into precise requirements for fine-tuning foundational models, vector databases, and multi-agent system architectures.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with both tech and RD teams, including DevOps& Infrastructure, data engineering, computing platform engineering, data & knowledge platform engineering, program management teams and RD data leadership teams, to align product strategies, gather input, and drive successful implementation plans.

Product Launch and Adoption: Lead product launches, ensuring effective communication, training, and support materials to drive successful product adoption and customer satisfaction.

Product Performance and Optimization: Continuously monitor product performance, collect and analyze data, and drive iterative improvements to enhance product usability, performance, and customer experience.
