Technical Product Manager

Edison Scientific focuses on building and commercializing AI agents for science, and shares FutureHouse’s mission to build an AI Scientist - scaling autonomous research, productizing it, and applying it to critical challenges such as drug development.

We are seeking a Technical Product Manager (TPM) who can bridge the gap between our clients and internal teams and drive world-class product development. This person will serve as a translator and strategist - deeply understanding client needs, aligning them to our vision, and guiding our technical teams to deliver impactful products.  A strong technical background in biology (e.g., molecular biology, bioinformatics, or related domains) and artificial intelligence is essential to effectively calibrate between external partners and internal engineering/research stakeholders.

• Partner closely with clients to understand their scientific and business needs, then translate those into clear, actionable, and critical product requirements.
• Work hand-in-hand with researchers, engineers, and designers to define and prioritize product roadmaps.
• Develop a strong technical perspective on complex biomolecular workflows and data, ensuring product decisions are scientifically grounded.
• Calibrate between external expectations and internal capabilities, balancing ambition with feasibility.
• Define success metrics, evaluate product performance, and adjust direction based on scientific and client feedback.
• Act as the internal advocate for client needs while also educating clients on the possibilities and constraints of our platform.
• Drive alignment across multi-disciplinary teams to deliver high-quality products on time.

• 4+ years of experience in product management, technical consulting, or a related role in biotech, life sciences, or computational biology.
• Strong foundation in biology, with expertise in areas such as molecular biology, synthetic biology, cellular biology, or computational biology.
• Knowledge of AI/ML applications in the life sciences.
• Proven ability to work with both external stakeholders (clients, partners, collaborators) and internal technical teams.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both scientific and non-scientific audiences.
• Experience defining product roadmaps and translating complex scientific requirements into structured development plans.
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and balancing multiple competing priorities in a fast-moving environment.
• Excellent people and mediation skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in biology, bioengineering, computational biology, or related technical field (advanced degree a plus).
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate.

Bonus points for:

• Experience in startups or high-growth environments.
• Familiarity with regulatory considerations in biotech product development.
