The Scientific Operations Team at Seven Bridges is made up of scientists who possess a unique balance of technical expertise and strong interpersonal skills. We are looking for individuals that demonstrate the ability to think strategically about business questions, understand the problems that customers need to solve, develop strategies for implementing solutions, and help our customers achieve success.

As a Program Manager at Seven Bridges, you will lead or co-lead one or more programs within the company’s portfolio spanning commercial engagements and engagements with non-profit and government entities representing some of the largest institutions in healthcare and life sciences. Through these programs, you will guide and oversee the development of software for scientists that helps them connect the world’s biomedical information to speed the pace of discovery. Our products both reach, and are developed by, individuals with diverse geographical and technical backgrounds. Program managers keep the big picture in focus by integrating goals and project milestones from multiple initiatives across the company and community, defining and clearly communicating priorities, and ultimately ensuring that the products we build are loved by the people we build them for.

In addition, you will lend your scientific expertise to the development of new scientific proposals, responses to RFIs, and grant applications.
