Own the product strategy for the data platform, ensuring datasets become agent-ready, while collaborating with researchers to drive AI infrastructure capabilities for life sciences.
At Manifold, we are rebuilding how life sciences organizations work in the age of AI.
Life sciences is a $2 trillion industry where productivity directly impacts patient outcomes. Yet despite major advances in biology, data generation, and AI, progress has slowed. Critical scientific questions are still blocked by fragmented data, brittle infrastructure, and workflows that were never designed for secure collaboration or AI-driven analysis.
Manifold is the AI platform for life sciences, purpose-built to close this gap. We believe vertical AI is the next platform shift, and life sciences requires a domain-specific approach. Manifold combines agentic AI, deep life sciences context, and enterprise-grade governance to help teams move from scientific question to insight faster, so life-changing medicines reach patients sooner.
Manifold is used by leading organizations across industry and academia, including Foundation Medicine, the Broad Institute, and the University of Virginia. The platform supports tens of thousands of users across hundreds of organizations globally. Manifold is backed by Reach Capital, TQ Ventures, Calibrate Ventures, SilverArc Capital, and Industry Ventures, with $40M raised to date.
At Manifold, we value intellectual rigor, humility, and mission-driven collaboration. We believe that technology is only as powerful as the people behind it, and we’re building a culture that supports growth, inclusion, and curiosity. We work fast, think deeply, and strive to make a lasting impact on patients’ lives.
Manifold is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own the product strategy and execution for our data platform: the infrastructure layer that determines whether researchers can move from scientific question to insight at the speed their work demands.
Every delay in drug discovery is measured in patient lives. Today, researchers still spend weeks wrangling fragmented datasets, waiting for pipelines, and manually tracking provenance across disconnected systems. The insights are there. The ambition is there. The AI capabilities are there. But the data infrastructure between them hasn't kept up.
This role owns the data-to-agent pipeline. You'll ensure that every dataset Manifold touches is not just ingested and governed, but agent-ready: equipped with the schema design, semantic context, and documentation that allow AI to serve researchers effectively. You'll define what "agent-ready" means as a product standard, design the automated onboarding workflows that let us scale from dozens of datasets to thousands, and ensure that governance and provenance become more rigorous as operations move to machine speed. This is a high-impact, hands-on role for someone who sees that AI isn't just a feature layer on top of data infrastructure. It's changing what data infrastructure fundamentally is.
