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. Support the owners of the other platforms in the sample-to-insight chain, and keep a clear view of how data moves between them.

Vendor, License and Contract Management Manage relationships with commercial vendors and open-source partners, and track delivery against agreed scope. Help assess successor options in good time, so that contract end dates do not force a decision. 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.

Compliance, Privacy and Quality Make sure platforms follow data privacy, access approval and data residency requirements, including controls for human-derived data.

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.

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. 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.

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). #
