Alpha Team
The Alpha Team: A Startup Within a Startup
The Alpha Team is Biorce's Tech Special Forces — an incubator operating directly out of the CEO's office, tasked with building the most disruptive, highest-stakes AI products in the clinical trial space.
This is not a team that iterates on existing products. You will be building from zero: defining the strategy, leading a cross-functional squad, and shipping under extreme speed and ambiguity. Every initiative is treated as a new startup venture. Every outcome is yours to own.
The Mission: ORION
As Sr. Product Owner of Team ORION, you will lead one of Biorce's most strategically critical initiatives.
ORION is Biorce's clinical trial modelling and forecasting engine — built to outperform the current generation of trial modelling solutions. It combines AI simulation, probabilistic forecasting, and deep scientific domain knowledge to accelerate and de-risk trial design for pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
You will work directly alongside two Level IV AI Engineers and an embedded Scientist to build a product that redefines what is possible in trial modelling. This is frontier AI applied to one of the hardest problems in drug development — and you will own it end-to-end.
Your direct reports are a Product Designer and an embedded Scientist (who formally reports to the Chief Scientific Officer but is functionally aligned to your team).
How You Will Make an Impact
Product lifecycle ownership:
Strategy & Planning
- Define the quarterly roadmap and long-term product vision for ORION, anchored in business outcomes — not task lists.
- Lead discovery for complex clinical trial modelling problems: analyse the competitive landscape, user personas, and technical feasibility. Produce sharp 1-page scoping documents that frame the problem, the causes, and the proposed solution.
- Work with the embedded Scientist to translate scientific and clinical constraints into product and engineering requirements.
Execution:
- Direct technological architecture and UX flows in close collaboration with the Engineering Manager.
- Break the roadmap into atomic tasks and run bi-weekly sprints, managing quality requirements and reviewing deliverables at each stage.
- Own Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy and coordinate launches — from release strategy to customer communications.
Supervision:
- Own both technical KPIs (availability, deployment health) and business outcomes (usage, adoption, gross profit over time).
- Monitor risk indicators and surface issues early — always framing problems as options, trade-offs, and recommended paths forward.
General management:
- Directly manage the Product Designer. Set priorities, shield the team from noise, and develop them as the product scales.
- Coordinate with the Scientist on product direction while respecting their formal reporting line to the CSO.
- Partner with the Engineering Manager and recruitment to hire and maintain a high talent bar across the engineering squad.
- Act as the primary interface to the CEO's office for ORION — deliver concise, structured updates and protect the team's focus.
What You Bring
- 7+ years in product management or software engineering, building large-scale distributed systems or SaaS platforms.
- At least 2 years at a high-growth scale-up — candidates with experience only in traditional corporations, large pharma, or slow-moving enterprise environments will not be considered.
- 3+ years in a technical leadership role with direct team accountability.
- Ideal backgrounds: ex-founder (product to at least Seed or Series A), senior software engineer turned PM, established PO/Lead from a scale-up, or system/solution architect.
- STEM degree preferred.
What makes you the right fit for ORION
- You have built or led AI-powered products — ideally involving simulation, forecasting, or probabilistic modelling.
- You are comfortable working with scientists and researchers as product collaborators, not just stakeholders.
- You can absorb complex domain knowledge fast and turn it into sharp product decisions — clinical trial expertise is not required on day one.
- You know how to design for technically sophisticated users who will immediately distrust a product that feels imprecise or oversimplified.
Core skills
- Product Thinking — You can visualise the ideal end state of a product, prioritise ruthlessly under technical constraints, and say no to noise.
- System Thinking — You design elegant, technically sound solutions for highly complex, AI-driven products.
- Radical Accountability — Deadlines are commitments. Quality is non-negotiable. You own both.
- Resilience in Chaos — You remain productive when priorities shift and can discard work without ego when strategy evolves.
- Leadership Excellence — You proactively raise the bar, develop the people around you, and seek opportunities — not just problems to escalate.
- Radical Candor — You surface issues early, frame decisions as options and trade-offs, and communicate directly with the CEO's office.
