Senior Product Manager Data Harmonisation

Our Future Health is building one of the worlds most significant health research resources. We want researchers to be able to use that data to improve the prevention detection and treatment of disease.

Today researchers can spend significant time preparing mapping and harmonising data before they can begin their analysis. Were creating a new Data Harmonisation squad to address more of that work once at source: turning trusted data into reusable interoperable products that are easier to analyse and combine.

Were looking for a Senior Product Manager to establish this capability from the ground up. Youll work directly with researchers to identify where harmonisation will make the greatest difference set the squads strategy and lead the development of reusable products and capabilities.

The initial focus includes transforming priority NHS datasets into the OMOP Common Data Model. The longer-term opportunity is broader: to shape how we approach data models semantics and interoperability and build data foundations that are ready to support advanced analytics and AI-enabled research.

This is a genuine 01 role with the opportunity to create something that can scale. Youll need to make clear choices in a complex and evolving area: deciding where common models and standards will help researchers where a reusable capability can serve multiple needs and where standardisation would add little value.

Youll own the outcomes strategy and roadmap for Data Harmonisation. Working with researchers data specialists and colleagues across Product and Science youll turn broad ambitions into clear product choices and measurable improvements.

Youll lead the squad in developing derived data products from trusted source data created by our existing Data Product squads. Youll also define the reusable capabilities behind those products including data transformation ontologies metadata provenance and versioning.

A core part of the role will be making data more AI-ready. That means building products around consistent structures clear semantic definitions machine readability and traceability so researchers software and AI-enabled tools can work with the data more reliably and at greater scale.

Youll work closely with the Head of Data & Proposition and partner with Product Managers Engineering Data Engineering Data Science Science and other specialists. Youll bring people together around a clear direction explain technical trade-offs in accessible terms and keep investment focused on meaningful researcher needs.
