The Impact You’ll Make
As a Manager within Recursion's partnership-facing data science team, you will be at the forefront of reimagining drug discovery from first principles. You will lead a team of world-class computational biologists focused on identifying and advancing the next generation of oncology therapeutics. You will act as a "player-coach," balancing direct technical contribution with the mentorship and strategic leadership of a high-performing team. Your mission is to integrate Recursion’s massive datasets—phenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics—to nominate novel targets, validate disease biology, and define the precision oncology strategies that ensure our medicines reach the right patients.
In this role, you will:
- Lead and Develop: Direct and mentor a team of data scientists and computational biologists, fostering a culture of scientific rigor, bold experimentation, and continuous professional growth.
- Drive Target Discovery: Lead the design and execution of analyses for target nomination and validation, using Recursion’s platform to identify novel vulnerabilities in cancer biology.
- Define Early Patient Population Strategy: Develop biomarker strategies and patient-stratification hypotheses to support programs as they progress from nomination through hit-to-lead and lead-optimization.
- Bridge the Gap: Act as a key "connector," leading your team to pilot innovative analysis methods and collaborating with platform and engineering teams to productionalize and scale these tools for organization-wide impact.
