About Orakl Oncology

At Orakl Oncology, we are accelerating the development of oncology treatments. Today, fewer than 5% of new cancer drugs succeed in clinical trials. Clearly, new methods are needed. We combine cutting-edge biology and AI to build the next generation of insight platforms, powered by the world's largest cohort of patient tumor avatars. These avatars fuel our AI-powered predictive engine, helping to anticipate clinical trial outcomes, validate therapies, and uncover new drug candidates. By generating multimodal, real-world data, we deliver insights that consistently outperform existing solutions.

By generating multimodal, real-world data, we deliver insights that consistently outperform existing solutions. Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to bring more effective treatments to patients who need them, and to make drug development smarter, faster, and more personalized. We collaborate with top hospitals, research institutes, and pharmaceutical companies worldwide. Backed by leading investors, we are a fast-growing, mission-driven startup at the intersection of science and technology.

The role

We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to ensure Orakl's scientific platform operates as one system. Our platform spans several functions (biobank, R&D, data science, computational biology, and pharma and hospital partnerships), and each one depends on the others to deliver. Your job is to make them work as pillars for the company: aligned on shared goals, coordinated on dependencies, and measured in a way that reflects both the science and the business. This is a senior, high-ownership role inside Platform and Operations. You will act as a strategic thought partner to the science leads, build and track the program view of the whole platform, keep everyone working from the same roadmap and the same numbers, anticipate where things will break before they do, and make sure our biobank, our external partners, and our internal research all pull in the same direction. You will also help embed a product mindset across the platform and steward our emerging product department, turning strong science and recurring partner demand into clearly scoped, owned products. You will report to the Head of Platform Strategy and Operations, and work daily with the team leads, BD, and the Alliance Manager who owns partner delivery.

What you'll do

Run the cross-functional roadmap

• Own the cross-functional work breakdown across biobank, data, computational biology and partnerships: owners, priorities, timelines, interdependencies
• Translate scientific ambitions into executable plans with clear milestones and costs, support each team in building their roadmap and capacity
• Coordinate technical and scientific roadmap execution, identify opportunities and risks, drive remediation, shape priorities with teams

Drive operational excellence

• Build and run the KPI framework with the Chief of Staff so each pillar's technical metrics roll up into business and strategic KPIs
• Keep one source of truth for roadmap, KPIs, dependencies and status across Notion, Asana and SharePoint
• Spot optimization possibilities and drive technical scaling

Support platform portfolio management

• Support the execution of our virtual patients collection strategy, taking into account scientific and clinical capabilities as well as R&D and business needs
• Contribute to grant writing and manage subsequent collaborative work
• Coordinate and help arbitrate resource allocation to align them with company goals, supporting both internal development and business execution needs
• Coordinate the definition and scoping of R&D bricks supporting the development of our current and future products, aligning Product and R&D teams

What we're looking for

Must have

• Min 5-7 years experience, including at least 3 years in program or portfolio management in an industrial, tech or biotech environment
• An advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in
