We’re looking for a product manager to join our 20-strong engineering team, working on OpenSAFELY and our other products.

Applications close on Friday 9th May at midday.

Who are we?

We are the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, at the University of Oxford, led by Professor Ben Goldacre. We built OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, it has been used extensively to produce ground-breaking research using an unprecedented corpus of patient data which is not available anywhere else.

Our mission

  • Driving better use of data to improve the lives of citizens.

Our values

  • True multidisciplinary working, combining best practice from software development, academia, clinical work and information governance.
  • Openness on code and methods, as a means to drive efficiency and quality.
  • Transparency on use of data, to earn trust and prove delivery.
  • Championing privacy through deeds rather than words.
  • Open sharing of insights about ways of working, not just our outputs.
  • We aim to be fearless without being reckless when addressing systemic problems.

Why should you join us?

  • We’re a truly interdisciplinary team of researchers, software developers, clinical informaticians and more, with a strong track record of delivering useful tools in a globally leading research setting.
  • You’ll have the chance to use your product management skills to save lives and further the state of medical data research.
  • Our software delivery teams are collaborative, supportive, thoughtful and kind.
  • We support hybrid or fully remote working, with in person team events throughout the year.

We are actively seeking to increase our team’s diversity, and so we welcome applications from those in under-represented groups.

Who are we looking for?

A product manager who will work closely with the lead product manager and be embedded within the software engineering group. They will apply product management techniques and contribute to the development of our product management discipline, engaging with users and stakeholders, assisting in defining the product vision, and identifying key outcomes that will steer us towards that vision.
