Job Description Are you a skilled Product Manager looking to create products that directly enable cutting-edge research and improve patient health in the NHS and worldwide? As Product Manager for our Dynamics CRM, you'll take responsibility for groundbreaking products that directly impact advances in personalized genomic medicine.

Working across our healthcare and research business units (tribes), you'll ensure our CRM maintains trust with researchers and participants through discovery work around data access, enrolment, consent, and long-term study communications.
This Role Is For Those Who Thrive in ambiguous, pioneering environments - You'll be designing new ways of working across internal teams and external contractors, with the autonomy to shape processes from the ground up rather than following established playbooks Excel at strategic resource orchestration - You'll master the art of triaging work streams, deciding what needs internal expertise versus contractor delivery, and distinguishing between BAU fixes, rapid iterations, and major project initiatives Energize when balancing competing priorities - You'll navigate the dynamic challenge of serving two distinct business units (tribes) with fundamentally different needs: upgrading a complex legacy system while simultaneously enabling a fast-paced, cutting-edge genomics studyIf you get energized by ambiguity and want to make your mark solving novel organizational challenges in healthcare research, this offers unparalleled opportunity.
