Associate Director or Director, Product Management -Agentic Science Platform

The Role: We are seeking a Product Leader to define and scale Generate’s Agentic Science Platform - building the infrastructure, tools, and ecosystem that enable AI agents to meaningfully accelerate drug discovery from early discovery through clinical development.   This leader will own the product vision and roadmap for agentic capabilities across the organization. They will help shape our internal agentic capabilities (tooling, orchestration layers, data interfaces, evaluation frameworks) while also identifying, evaluating, and onboarding external tools and partners that extend our platform.   Working across machine learning, research, preclinical, clinical, engineering, and operations teams, this role will translate scientific workflows into scalable agentic systems that enhance decision-making, automate complexity, and unlock scientific velocity. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role at the intersection of AI, platform strategy, and therapeutic innovation.   You will work onsite in our Somerville, MA. Here's how you will contribute: Advance  the   a gentic  s cience  v ision   Build on and evolve the product strategy for Generate’s agentic platform across the full drug discovery lifecycle    Identify high-value scientific workflows that are ripe for agentification   Translate company goals into measurable product outcomes tied to scientific productivity, cycle time, and data leverage.   Expand and scale  Generate’s  internal agentic science infrastructure   Partner with Engineering and Scientific teams to build core agentic infrastructure:   Tool orchestration frameworks   Workflow automation layers   Agent evaluation and benchmarking systems   Interfaces into biological data platforms   Establish principles for agent reliability, validation, governance, and safety in scientific contexts in collaboration with cross-functional teams.   Develop the  e xternal  e cosystem  s trategy   Map the external landscape of agentic tools, AI copilots, workflow automation platforms, and scientific AI startups.   Identify build vs. buy vs. partner opportunities.   Lead evaluation, pilot programs, onboarding, and integration of external tools and partners.   Drive  c ross- f unctional  a doption   Work deeply with scientists across early discovery and clinical development to embed agentic solutions into real workflows.   Run continuous discovery efforts to identify friction points and opportunity spaces.   Influence change management, innovation and drive adoption of new capabilities.   Lead  e nd-to- e nd  p roduct  e xecution   Own roadmap prioritization and define success metrics and feedback loops for agentic performance and impact.   Communicate progress, trade-offs, and outcomes clearly to executive stakeholders.   Continuously refine product development processes to match the speed of AI innovation.     The Ideal Candidate will have: 7+ years of product management experience, ideally including platform or AI-enabled products.   Experience working in fast paced, constantly evolving environments within biotech, pharma, and/or tech.   Strong understanding of and hands-on experience with LLMs, AI agents and evaluation methods.   Hands on experience with continuous discovery, user research, and prototype development for validating both problems and solutions.   Strong external orientation - aware of the fast-evolving AI and scientific tooling landscape.   Track record of influencing cross-functional teams without formal authority.   Excellent communication skills - able to bridge scientists, engineers, and executives.   Ability to foster an inclusive, collaborative environment and build relationships and trust with a diverse set of stakeholders.   Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in computational sciences, applied mathematics, life sciences, engineering, or a related field. Advanced degree preferred but not required.     Who Will Love This Job:  This role is perfect for someone excited to build AI-native scientific infrastructure that reshapes how drug discovery is done. You think in platforms and ecosystems, thrive in ambiguity, and enjoy translating complex scientific workflows into scalable, agentic systems. If  you’re  motivated by defining what agentic science looks like inside a modern biotech - and building it from the ground up -  you’ll  love this role.
