Head of Product

Job description

**Company** Bactobio is a London biotech startup. We work to solve the antimicrobial resistance crisis across healthcare and agriculture by producing the next generation of market-leading antimicrobials. Since inception in 2020, Bactobio has built a deeptech platform that combines AI, synthetic biology, and multiomics to routinely discover new antimicrobial classes from nature. Our antimicrobial platform is fully operational, and we now successfully target the worst diseases and build portfolios of new, safe, and effective antimicrobial classes that bypass resistance that we then move towards commercialisation. Our culture is built around impact, empowerment, and collaboration. We attract incredible scientists from world-leading institutions, mix them with operational experts, and provide guidance through industry leaders acting as mentors. We strongly believe that diversity combined with open and inclusive conversations lead to better solutions. As a result, we have created a collaborative work environment, where ambitious people enjoy working together to make the world greener and safer. **Team** Our Product team is a close-knit group that sits at the interface between science, market, and strategy. We work closely with research teams to translate biological discovery into scalable, market-ready products - while also shaping the long-term direction of the company’s pipeline and commercial focus. We operate with a high level of ownership, clear accountability, and a strong bias towards impact. **Role** We are looking for a Head of Product to own Bactobio’s product strategy. You will lead the Product team and build out a future Business Development function, ensuring that scientific innovation is translated into products that solve real customer problems and create long-term value. This is a highly strategic role at the centre of the company, with significant influence over investment priorities, partnerships, and company direction as we prepare for and execute a Series A and beyond. Reporting directly to our cofounder and CEO and working closely with our cofounder and CSO, you will develop and execute our commercialisation strategy, communicate the potential of our platform, and initiate strategic, scientific, and commercial partnerships.
