Product Owner at Genomics

Location: Hybrid, London Offices

The Mission: Why We Exist

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. We are united by a single vision to help people live longer healthier lives, using the power of genomics.

Genomics aims to help people live longer, healthier lives in two ways: super-charging drug discovery and development for novel treatments with our AI-enabled advanced genetic analytics platform, and by helping people understand their personal risk of common chronic diseases through polygenic risk scores - giving doctors and health systems the chance to get the right people into the right prevention, screening and treatment programmes at the right time.

Why Now?

The company is a rapidly growing and expanding global organisation, with established offices in Oxford, Cambridge, and London in the UK; and Research Triangle Park in the US, with genetics labs in Framingham. Genomics has raised over £100 million in funding to date.

2025 is the second year in a row that Genomics will feature on the Sunday Times 100 Tech as one of Britain’s fastest growing private tech companies.
