Sr. Product Manager

About the role:

We are hiring a (Sr.) PM to help us enable scientists multiplex protein measurements without any compromise on flexibility and performance. As the first PM at Nomic, you are expected to build up structures and processes for all phases of product development, mentor more junior people on the team, think high-level and also get in the weeds. This means writing up project charters all the way to defining and executing go to market strategy. We are small, nimble, and rapidly growing. We expect you to bring experience but not be afraid to roll up your sleeves.

About Us:

Nomic was founded to make biology easier to measure by solving complex problems in protein profiling. Our team combines DNA nanotechnology, high-dimensional flow cytometry, laboratory automation, and machine learning to develop the world’s highest throughput proteomic platform: the nELISA.

We are building a diverse team of engineers, scientists, and world-changers. Using a first principles approach, we leverage the latest breakthroughs across the scientific and technological spectrum to drive our mission forward.

The nELISA platform offers scalable, cost-efficient, and flexible multiplexed protein measurement, utilizing patented DNA-mediated miniaturization of classical ELISA. This enables high-fidelity, high-sensitivity multiplexing, even at 1000+ plex. Our state-of-the- art facilities handle over 2.5 million samples annually, generating 500 million protein assays. Importantly, the nELISA is uniquely capable of measuring multiple analyte types which includes proteins, antibodies, protein interactions/complexes, and post- translational modifications.

Since our spin-out from McGill University, 50+ pharmaceutical companies have adopted nELISA, generating over 40 million protein data points from 350,000 samples. We partner with top drug discovery groups, including GSK, 4 of the top 10 pharmas, and leading biotechs..
