About the role

The Senior Manager, Informatics will lead the improvement of Bio-Rad’s Quality System Informatics, setting a roadmap for foundational capabilities and aligning priorities with engineering, architecture, security, quality, services, and support teams.

Responsibilities

• Develop a deep understanding of customer needs through discovery, VOC, and usage data and distill those insights into a clear, strategic roadmap for platform solutions.
• Own and communicate product vision, priorities, and tradeoffs for core platform capabilities (connectivity, cybersecurity, SSO/identity, accessibility, shared services, and scalability).
• Partner with engineering, commercial teams and support to deliver roadmap outcomes—driving alignment, managing dependencies, and unblocking teams to ship on time with high quality.
• Set platform standards and release readiness criteria for security, quality, documentation, and supportability—reducing operational burden and strengthening customer trust.
• Communicate clearly with stakeholders at all levels—translating customer problems and platform complexity into crisp decisions, sequencing, and status that keeps delivery and customer readiness on track.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent; an advanced degree (e.g., MBA) is preferred.
• 8+ years of product management experience in diagnostics, biotech, med-tech, or related systems roles (product, marketing, engineering, or program), with a proven record of system lifecycle management from product vision through migration, end-of-life/obsolescence planning, and customer adoption in a matrix environment.
• Strong product discovery skills: you deeply understand customer needs (VOC, usage data, and stakeholder input) and translate them into a strategic roadmap of solutions, requirements, and measurable outcomes.
• Technical fluency across platform foundations such as integrations/connectivity, identity/SSO, cybersecurity, accessibility, and reliability/performance—able to partner effectively with engineering and security teams and make sound tradeoffs.
• Fluent in developing and presenting business cases to executive audience.
• Business-savvy and data-driven communicator: you use dashboards, adoption metrics, and market insights to shape recommendations, influence stakeholders, and guide investment decisions.
