Product Manager — Kits and Integrated Workflows

At ONI, we are driven by a profound mission: to propel scientific discovery and combat diseases by granting everyone the ability to visualize, comprehend, and share the intricate microscopic details of life. Our revolutionary Nanoimager and Aplo Platform stand at the forefront of advancing cellular studies on a molecular level, making substantial contributions to the evolution of scientific knowledge. We’re looking for a product manager to own our kits and workflows, including EV Profiler and LNP Profiler, now that the concept is proven. You’ll make sure sample preparation, fluid handling, imaging, analysis and reporting software work together as one system, and your responsibility is the complete customer experience, from sample to scientifically meaningful result. The job is making that system rock solid: hardening what’s already on the market, making sure it works the same way at every site, and getting more customers on it without support load growing at the same rate. The Role As part of the Product team, you’ll own the product management of our kits and end-to-end workflows, including the Discovery Kit, EV Profiler and LNP Profiler and their future revisions. You will ensure these work together with automated sample preparation and fluid handling, imaging, analysis and reporting software to deliver reliable, reproducible and intuitive solutions for our customers. The initial products have launched, and the work now is making them dependable, repeatable, and scalable for our customers. You’ll create clarity and momentum for the R&D teams by understanding which problems matter, turning customer and market evidence into priorities, and removing barriers to delivering a coherent solution. You’ll grow adoption to routine use across many sites, including bioprocessing and QC settings where results must be reproducible and defensible, and you’ll work with Marketing on positioning and the product story as the portfolio evolves. You will play a critical role in bringing these quality improvements to the market and ensuring that current and future kits maintain their quality over time, and you’ll help define the roadmap for next iterations of existing and future kits and workflows. As a product manager, you’ll be the connective tissue between software, hardware, bioware, support, and the field, acting as the voice of the customer to help internal teams better understand our customers’ needs and problems. The role is ideal for a technically curious, commercially aware individual who loves getting hands-on with products, takes ownership of outcomes and thrives on complex, cross-functional challenges. You will work broadly across our platform and alongside US colleagues; the position is based in Oxford and involves occasional travel to customers and our US team (typically 10-20%). What you’ll do Understand scientists and their complete workflows first-hand. Work with customers and field teams, study usage and support data, and synthesize their sometimes conflicting inputs into the problems worth solving. Drive evidence-led product direction and priorities across our solutions with R&D and commercial leaders, balancing customer outcomes, differentiation, adoption, reliability, margin and technical feasibility. Own the roadmap for our kits (including the Discovery Kit and the EV and LNP Profiler kits) and workflows, balancing quality, reliability, usability and new features. Build and refine market and product requirements (MRD/PRD) across workflows, from sample preparation (Aplo Flow) through acquisition (Aplo Scope) to analysis (CODI), according to our Product Development Process. Own validation for each kit and workflow: define acceptance criteria, performance specifications and validation plans, including reference samples and reproducibility across instruments, operators and sites. Work with R&D, who own development and verification.
