Technical Project Manager

Scientists have long known that faulty signals in the nervous system play a key role in driving chronic diseases. Without having the tools to understand and correct these signals in real time, clinicians are less able to treat patients in the best way possible: with precision, automation, and personalisation. BIOS is solving this problem by utilising its proprietary breakthroughs in AI and Machine Learning to build a neural technology platform that can translate the “language” of the nervous system; enabling delivery of ground-breaking neural digital therapies. You can learn more about our mission on our website.

We are looking for people who will thrive in our diverse, fun and dynamic culture, who find joy in complex challenges, and want to grow whilst helping shape the future of our company. We are particularly excited to meet candidates that share our values: don’t shy away from the hard problems; bring a unique perspective but become an active part of the BIOS team; respect what matters and do what’s right; and enjoy the challenge.

The opportunity:

Fixed term, maternity cover. This particular role is for 1 year, however if there’s a great fit, a permanent opportunity is likely to be available when this role ends.

BIOS launched its Autonomic Therapy Initiative (ATI) programme in 2020 to develop a new therapy to treat heart disease. You will work closely with our Chief Scientific Officer (CSO), to manage this Programme, playing a key role in translating BIOS’s neural technology for clinical use and positively impacting patients’ lives.

As the Project Manager, you’ll take ownership in setting the short, medium and long term goals for our cross-functional teams to enable success. You will use your brilliant communication skills to articulate programme objectives & progress to a range of technical and non-technical audiences.

There’ll be plenty to get your teeth into, including:

• Collaborating with the senior management team to plan programme goals, set priorities, and communicate these to internal teams
• Monitoring programme progress, and taking action to identify and resolve risk
• Building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including being the primary contact for clinical partners, and managing third party contributions from academic and commercial collaborators
• Coordinating funding applications
• Communicating programme progress to the Advisory panel and Board
• Representing the programme internally in team and company meetings, and externally in investor presentations and conferences/events
• Maintaining project documentation

You’ll be a great fit for this role if you have:

• Experience managing technical projects in academia or industry
• A bachelor's degree, preferably in a field relevant to biotech or healthcare (e.g biology, or bioengineering), or equivalent experience
• An ability to balance conflicting priorities and negotiate solutions
• Excellent communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences
• High attention to detail, strong organisational skills and a flexible approach to work
• Ability to deal with ambiguity and proactively resolve issues
• A keen desire to learn and develop your skills and experience

It’s even more of an advantage if you have:

• Previous experience managing projects with clinical trials, including liaising with regulatory bodies such as the FDA or MHRA, and/or communicating with Ethical Review Boards
• Scientific writing experience
• A project management qualification such as PRINCE2
• Experience submitting grant applications
