Director of Product Management, Oncology

About the job

Do you want to join one of the fastest-growing molecular diagnostics startups and develop products that will impact the lives of millions of patients?

BillionToOne is a precision diagnostics company with the mission to make molecular diagnostics more accurate, efficient, and accessible for all.

Our unique QCT molecular counting platform, which improves the resolution of cell-free DNA testing by 1000x, has enabled us to commercialize a series of unique products including the first and only non-invasive test for inherited genetic disorders (UNITY product line).

We have raised more than $100M from the top US and international investors and are listed as one of the Y Combinator Top Companies.

BillionToOne is looking for a Director of Product Management  to lead and manage the  oncology liquid biopsy product line .

We are preparing to launch the therapy selection and treatment monitoring liquid biopsy assay, initially in Q1 2022 for research use and partnerships (RUO), and later in the year for clinical use.

This test will enable pan-cancer treatment monitoring at 10x higher precision without the need to obtain a sample from the tumor itself.  This groundbreaking assay is likely to revolutionize the way cancer is treated and novel oncology drugs are developed.

As the first product leader joining the oncology product line, you will be leading the upcoming launch by working closely with the R&D, engineering, clinical team, and the company leadership.  As the product owner of the category-defining liquid biopsy product at BillionToOne, your role and responsibility will also grow quickly as the company scales.

If you have experience in launching molecular diagnostic testing assays, are obsessed with delivering the best end-to-end customer experience for providers and patients, and thrive in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment, this would be a perfect opportunity for you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Understand the market and design a winning product concept: As the product owner, you need to be Number 1 expert within the company about the user needs and desires, the market, and how our technology assets can solve their problems.
• Plan and execute product launch strategies: Understand and plan for every element that touches the product launch, including the core clinical assay, the user-facing software apps, the internal workflow, regulatory and legal constraints, and requirements, marketing and PR, etc.

  Work with a wide range of departments to execute the product launch.

• Design and lead clinical study collaborations with academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies: As the “mini-CEO” of the oncology product line, we expect the product owners to be the company’s face, leading the partnership discussions with the academic cancer centers and pharmaceutical companies for clinical study collaborations.
• End-to-end user experience: Our product is not just the genetic testing panel but the entire experience of ordering a test, sending the blood sample, and receiving the result.
• Program management: You are responsible for getting the product to the finish line by mobilizing relevant internal and external resources.
• Continuous iterations and improvements: As the product owner, you are the biggest advocate for the users.

  You are responsible for monitoring the user voice and behaviors, the key metrics, and key market trends for the product line and identify areas of improvement.

Requirements

• 5-10 years of experience in product management
• Advanced (PhD or MD) degree in molecular biology, bioengineering, medicine, chemical biology, or related field.
• Experience driving product vision, go-to-market strategy, and product requirements
• Experience with launching a molecular diagnostics product from start to finish
• Experience working with diverse teams to gather requirements and rally them to get a complex product launched
• Due to the ownership & launch responsibilities for a critically important product line, this is an on-site position in the Bay Area (WFH is OK for 1-2 days a week).

  We do not accept remote applicants.

Nice-To-Haves:

• Experience with launching cancer diagnostic assays (liquid biopsy, solid tumor testing panel, or other cancer biomarkers) is a strong plus

We offer competitive salary and benefits combined with a truly generous equity package.

You will be working on interesting problems with extremely high-impact.
