Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Terray Therapeutics is a venture-backed biotechnology company using artificial intelligence, synthetic chemistry, automation, and nanotechnology to accelerate drug discovery. The Associate Director, Product Management will lead the vision and execution of tDesign, an internal platform for small molecule drug discovery, partnering with scientific, engineering, and AI teams to integrate intelligent workflows and improve user experience. The role will own product strategy, platform adoption, and the delivery of reliable software that supports medicinal chemistry and molecular design programs.
Responsibilities
- Strategic Product Leadership: Own the product lifecycle for tDesign, defining a roadmap that aligns with Terray’s high-level scientific and business goals. You will present regularly to executive leadership and key stakeholders on product impact and strategy
- User-Centric Design: Deeply understand the workflows of medicinal chemists, molecular design scientists, and small molecule program leads to improve and build features that solve real friction points in the design-make-test-analyze (DMTA) cycle. Translate complex internal scientific tools into intuitive, resilient user experiences suitable for broader deployment beyond the original development context
- Cross-Functional Orchestration: Act as the primary bridge between our scientific stakeholders and our engineering/AI teams. Partner with scientific stakeholders to ensure technical specifications accurately translate and support biological and chemical realities and drive alignment across the organization
- Agent & Workflow Integration: Lead the integration of new AI agents and automated workflows into the UI, making advanced computational tools accessible to non-computational experts
- Adoption & Efficacy: Monitor user engagement and program success metrics to continuously iterate on the platform. Apply SaaS product principles to ensure tDesign remains the "command center" for all small molecule programs
Skills
- Proven experience (5+ years) managing complex, high-technical software products in a tech-first, SaaS, or high-growth environment
- Demonstrated success building and managing complex internal tools or platforms used by highly technical teams
- Ability to grasp complex AI/ML/computational concepts and translate them into user-facing features (e.g., visualizing model confidence, managing inference workflows)
- A track record of shipping highly reliable, robust software in an agile environment, balancing long-term vision with immediate scientific needs
- Experience transitioning complex internal tools into external-facing enterprise products, including scoping requirements, defining SLAs, and managing expectations for sophisticated external clients (such as large pharmaceutical or enterprise partners)
- Proven ability to partner closely with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and DevOps teams to architect and deliver highly available software
- Familiarity with the technical and operational nuances of deploying applications into diverse, secure, or client-hosted cloud environments (e.g., secure VPCs)
- Deep understanding of best practices surrounding data privacy, security, and enterprise governance, specifically concerning the ingestion, segregation, and management of highly sensitive, proprietary third-party datasets
- The ability to balance the immediate, fast-paced needs of internal scientific stakeholders with the architectural and UX requirements needed to eventually support a broader, external user base
