Digital Product Owner Research Decision Intelligence

About the role

We are looking for a passionate, driven Digital Product Owner to join the Data Visualization & Decision Support product line within the In-Silico Research team, taking ownership of a critical digital product that empowers scientists to make faster, more confident, data-driven decisions. If you thrive at the intersection of science and technology, equally at home in a user discovery conversation with a bench scientist and a technical refinement session with an ML engineer and take pride in shipping solutions that change how research gets done, this role is for you.

Main Responsibilities

• Own and prioritize the product vision, roadmap, and backlog for your product, ensuring clear alignment with scientific priorities and Digital R&D strategy
• Write clear, well-scoped user stories, acceptance criteria, and success metrics grounded in real scientist workflows
• Make sound, data-informed prioritization decisions, balancing new feature development, technical debt, and user feedback
• Establish regular touchpoints with software development teams to validate technical requirements and ensure optimal solution architecture
• Drive products through governance stage gates with clear go/no-go recommendations, business cases, and executive summaries

Scientific Data & Tools Proficiency

• Able to interpret what a data entity means in a biological context not just technically, but scientifically by asking the right questions of domain experts
• Capable of tracing data lineage end-to-end: from point of entry in an ELN, through a data warehouse such as Snowflake, to its visualization and consumption in tools like Spotfire
• Experienced in leveraging artifacts such as business process flows, scientific workflows, and data flow diagrams to align cross-functional and cross-cultural stakeholders

User Research & Experience

• Conduct continuous user research with R&D scientists to deeply understand their workflows, bottlenecks, data needs, and interface requirements
• Champion user-centered design principles throughout the product lifecycle, partnering with UX/UI designers to create intuitive, scientifically accurate interfaces
• Independently sketch wireframes and low-fidelity mockups to communicate product vision to design and engineering teams

Adoption & Change Management

• Build and execute targeted user adoption strategies for platform launches and transitions
• Monitor usage metrics and user satisfaction continuously, using data to guide product evolution
• Identify and proactively address barriers to adoption across different business functions and user personas
• Demonstrate product value through compelling scientific use cases and measurable outcomes

Stakeholder Collaboration & Communication

• Build strong partnerships with R&D scientists, computational biologists, data scientists, and ML engineers to ensure products meet real scientific needs
• Collaborate with the Product Line Owner on portfolio strategy, prioritization, and resource allocation
• Communicate product progress, business value and impact delivered, and adoption metrics to stakeholders and leadership with clarity and confidence; manage competing expectations and negotiate trade-offs with transparency and sound judgment
