This is an in-office role based in Barcelona, ES, with a requirement to work a minimum of three days per week on-site. Remote or travel flexibility is not available. Role Summary AstraZeneca's cancer and translational scientists rely on a chain of omics platforms to get from a sample to an insight: sample metadata management, omics processing, a molecular data warehouse, a cancer genomics portal, and single-cell and spatial analytics tools. We are seeking a Product Owner, Omics & Data Platforms, to own several of these platforms and to keep the chain working for the people who use it.

Key Responsibilities
Product Ownership and Roadmap
* Own the roadmap and backlog for the cancer genomics portal and the single-cell and spatial analytics platforms, and prioritise work with engineering and vendor partners.
* Support the owners of the other platforms in the sample-to-insight chain, and keep a clear view of how data moves between them.
* Maintain a current record of each platform's users, usage, cost and risks. Vendor, License and Contract Management
* Manage relationships with commercial vendors and open-source partners, and track delivery against agreed scope.
* Prepare the case for renewals and changes to licenses, including usage, cost per user and alternatives, working with procurement and finance.
* Help assess successor options in good time, so that contract end dates do not force a decision. Platform Operations and Users
* Make sure platforms meet agreed service levels, and work with engineering and support teams on incidents, releases and upgrades.
* Run access,



onboarding and training for users in different regions, and collect feedback to guide the roadmap.
* Plan regional deployments or instances, for example for users in China or Japan. Data Standards and Integration
* Apply FAIR data principles and metadata standards across your platforms, working with data owners and platform engineering.
* Define how platform data is exposed to AI agents and other tools through governed interfaces, with security and data owners.
* Work through ownership gaps between platforms, such as sample identifiers and shared metadata. Compliance, Privacy and Quality
* Make sure platforms follow data privacy, access approval and data residency requirements, including controls for human-derived data.
* Complete governance and AI reviews for platforms that add AI features.
* Keep documentation current for audit and review. Financial Stewardship
* Track infrastructure, license and contractor cost against plan and flag overruns early.
* Contribute to planning cycles with a clear view of run cost and options. Cross-Functional Collaboration
* Work closely with computational biologists, translational and oncology scientists, engineers, vendors, procurement and finance.




* Communicate clearly about platform availability, limits and plans. Desired Profile Experience
* 5 or more years of experience working with or managing omics data platforms or bioinformatics tools, ideally in a pharmaceutical or translational research setting.
* Experience as a product owner or product manager, or in a role with equivalent ownership of a scientific platform.
* Understanding of genomic, transcriptomic or single-cell and spatial data and how scientists use it.
* Experience managing vendor relationships, licences and renewals, including working with procurement.
* Fluency with FAIR data principles and metadata standards.
* Working knowledge of cloud-based data environments and how scientific platforms are run and supported.
* Understanding of data privacy and controlled handling of human-derived data.
* Ability to communicate with both scientists and engineers. Desirable
* Experience with open-source scientific software and its communities.
* Familiarity with AI agents and how they connect to scientific data.
* Experience with oncology data.
* Working knowledge of Atlassian tools (JIRA, Confluence). #EAI Date Posted 26-oct-2026 Closing Date 08-nov-2026 AstraZeneca embraces diversity and equality of opportunity. We are committed to building an inclusive and diverse team representing all backgrounds, with as wide a range of perspectives as possible, and harnessing industry-leading skills.
