Isomorphic Labs is applying frontier AI to help unlock deeper scientific insights, faster breakthroughs, and life-changing medicines with an ambition to solve all disease.
The future is coming. A future enabled and enriched by the incredible power of machine learning. A future in which diseases are curtailed or cured starting with better and faster drug discovery.
Come and be part of an interdisciplinary team driving groundbreaking innovation and play a meaningful role in contributing towards us achieving our ambitious goals, while being a part of an inspiring and collaborative culture.
The world we want tomorrow is the one we’re building today. It starts with the culture at this company. It starts with you.
About IsoIsomorphic Labs (IsoLabs) was launched in 2021 to advance human health by building on and beyond the Nobel-winning AlphaFold system. Since then, our interdisciplinary team of drug discovery experts and machine learning specialists has built powerful new predictive and generative AI models that accelerate scientific discovery at digital speed.
Our name comes from the belief that there is an underlying symmetry between biology and information science. By harnessing AI’s powerful capabilities, we can use it to model complex biological phenomena to help design novel molecules, anticipate how drugs will perform and develop innovative medicines to treat and cure some of the world’s most devastating diseases.
We have built a world-leading drug design engine comprising AI models that are capable of working across multiple therapeutic areas and drug modalities. We are continually innovating on model architecture and developing cutting-edge capabilities to advance rational drug design.
Every day, and with each new breakthrough, we’re getting closer to the promise of digital biology, and achieving our ambitious mission to one day solve all disease with the help of AI.
Your Impact
As a Technical Program Manager, you will be the operational backbone of our research initiatives, bringing structure to the highly experimental world of AI-driven drug discovery. Partnering closely with our Research Scientists and ML Engineers, you will ensure that complex research roadmaps move from theoretical concepts to tangible technical milestones.
What you will do
- Take full ownership of multiple, concurrent research roadmaps, ensuring that milestones are clearly defined and actions between teams are managed effectively.
- Facilitate clear and open communication between Research Scientists, ML Engineers and other teams, ensuring full alignment on requirements and project timelines at all times.
- Design and implement frameworks to track progress in experimental environments where the path forward isn't always linear.
- Set the operational rhythm of technical syncs, compiling agendas that bridge the gap between code and Life Sciences, and ensuring action items are closed out.
- Identify potential bottlenecks in the research pipeline (e.g., data availability, compute resources) and proactively work with senior TPMs to resolve them before they impact the roadmap.
Essential:
- c. 4–5 years’ experience in technical program coordination or project management within a tech forward, life sciences or research driven environment.
- A solid professional or academic background in Biology, Chemistry, or Computational Biology. You need to understand the why behind the research you are coordinating.
- Comfortable working closely with Machine Learning Engineers; you understand the basic lifecycle of model development and data pipelining.
- You are comfortable prioritising in an ambiguous environment and don't require a pre-defined playbook to be effective.
- Exceptional organisation skills with the ability to manage multiple competing priorities across different domains (specifically Science vs. Engineering).
Nice to have:
- Experience using tools like Jira or Linear to manage research workflows.
- Previous experience in a high-growth "TechBio" or Biotech startup.
Culture and values
We are guided by our shared values. It's not about finding people who think and act in the same way. These values help to guide our work and will continue to strengthen it.
Thoughtful
Thoughtful at Iso is about curiosity, creativity and care. It is about good people doing good, rigorous and future-making science every single day.
Brave
Brave at Iso is about fearlessness, but it’s also about initiative and integrity. The scale of the challenge demands nothing less.
Determined
Determined at Iso is the way we pursue our goal. It’s a confidence in our hypothesis, as well as the urgency and agility needed to deliver on it. Because disease won’t wait, so neither should we.
Together
Together at Iso is about connection, collaboration across fields and catalytic relationships. It’s knowing that transformation is a group project, and remembering that what we’re doing will have a real impact on real people everywhere.
Creating an extraordinary company
We believe that to be successful we need a team with a range of skills and talents. We're building an environment where collaboration is fundamental, learning is shared and every employee feels supported and able to thrive. We value unique experiences, knowledge, backgrounds, and perspectives, and harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact.
We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis protected by applicable law. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Hybrid working
It’s hugely important for us to share knowledge and build strong relationships with each other, and we find it easier to do this if we spend time together in person. This is why we follow a hybrid model, and would require you to be able to come into the office 3 days a week (currently Tuesday, Wednesday, and one other day depending on which team you’re in). If you have additional needs that would prevent you from following this hybrid approach, we’d be happy to talk through these if you’re selected for an initial screening call.
Please note that when you submit an application, your data will be processed in line with our privacy policy.
