Based in Cambridge, UK, but open to remote workers in the UK.

New Opportunities for a New Appointee:

PetaGene has been recognised three times as the world’s leading compression company for genomic data. PetaGene’s cloud-enabled, transparent lossless compression & encryption, enables researchers and clinicians in Precision Medicine to access their data more efficiently and securely.

Leveraging its successes in Life Sciences, PetaGene is spinning out a new brand, cuno.io, with a broader/horizontal market focus in Cloud Data Storage and Management. We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our team and make an outsized contribution to the growth of PetaGene.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager who has experience taking entirely new products from 0 => 1, which is a very different experience and skillset from optimising and growing an existing product/segment.

Candidates must have experience successfully taking products from 0 => 1, from MVP to PMF. We like candidates who are comfortable with laying groundwork, able to kick-in doors to get in front of the right customers and synthesise actionable intel.

Success for us is someone who helps us:

• Drive new products
• Fail quickly rather than slowly
• Growing revenues

Responsibilities:

• Refine product-market fit, help with new market entry
• Collect and analyse customer feedback: validate/invalidate ideas and assumptions of product-market fit with evidence, extracting the signal from the noise
• Translate results into new product features
• Make creative recommendations to expand the product base and vision
• Work between engineering and senior management to create and implement product plans and roadmaps
• Drive data-driven approaches to track product use and impact on end-users
• Drive product growth, retention, and monetisation

Requirements:

• Strong experience taking products from 0 => 1. This means taking a wholly new product (not just a feature) from initial concept, through to finding product-market fit, developing a go-to-market strategy, launch and iterative refinement. Note that this is a very different experience and skillset from optimising and growing an existing product/segment.
• 3-6 years experience as a Product Manager or similar role, including in a startup
• Familiar with procurement process in large IT departments and enterprise needs
• Experience with different business models, preferably in SaaS and enterprise software
• Track-record of working well autonomously, and a proven ability to reach customers
• Strong customer-facing experience, engaging with customers to nail product-market fit
• Experience in product lifecycle management
• Data-driven individual with their feet on the ground
• Analytical thinking who avoids following hunches and instead focuses on asking the right questions and finding facts and numbers to support a hypothesis
• Empathy (to understand the mindsets of customers and stakeholders)
• Creative problem-solving skills and aptitude
• Excellent communication skills (to bridge gaps between mindsets)

Bonus:

• Experience with Enterprise Storage or Enterprise Networking is a bonus but is not required
• A background in managing software development (Agile) is a bonus but is not required

Compensation:

• Competitive
• Reimbursement of private ancillary health costs for employee and family members (taxable)
• UK-based. Remote work allowed, but we expect at least twice a month in-person meetings in our Cambridge (UK) office
