The Senior Manager, Application Science - Software Workflow and Strategy, leads a team that represents the scientific voice of the customer across the Genetic Sciences Division software portfolio. This role sits at the intersection of genetics, AI, laboratory workflows, and software development, translating customer needs and scientific use cases into actionable guidance for software teams.
This leader brings deep domain expertise in genetics or proteomics workflows, strong fluency in scientific software development, and the ability to work effectively across Product Management, UX, Software Engineering, Quality, Regulatory, and Commercial teams. This is not a hands-on software development role; rather, it requires someone who can translate scientific and workflow needs into actionable guidance for software teams. A critical part of the role is helping define how AI, automation, and evolving lab-in-the-loop workflows can make genetic and proteomic scientists more effective by simplifying workflows, supporting interpretation, and reducing manual effort. The successful candidate will connect strategy to execution, helping shape future direction while ensuring teams can act on it effectively.
Location
This is a fully onsite role based at our South San Francisco, CA office. Carlsbad, CA and Pleasanton, CA may also be considered as alternative work locations. Relocation assistance is not provided for this position.
