Product Development Manager — Life Sciences

About the Role

Deep Knowledge Group is seeking a universal Product Development Manager to turn its Life Sciences, Longevity and human-performance research and intellectual property into practical, testable and commercially usable products.

This is deliberately not structured as a conventional BioTech product-manager role.

The successful candidate may come from Product Management, technology, operations, consulting, entrepreneurship, FinTech, consumer products or another execution-focused environment. What matters is the ability to enter a difficult subject, understand it rapidly, challenge assumptions, structure an MVP and coordinate multiple specialist teams toward deployment.
 

Product Environment

The role may support products and project families including:

• mLongevity — https://www.longevity.group/modular-longevity
• Dubai Longevity Constellation — https://www.longevity.group/constellation
• Longevity Club — https://www.longevity.group/club
• Longevity Banking Card — https://www.longevity.group/card
• Gulf Longevity Intelligence Group — https://www.longevity.group/glig
• diagnostics and biomarkers intelligence;
• Longevity and HealthTech analytics;
• Longevity Blueprints and LBams/API-AMS;
• breathing, hypoxia and human-performance projects;
• other practical Longevity Medicine products.
   

Core Mandate

Take ideas, research, protocols, datasets, blueprints and existing technical assets and convert them into:

clear product definition → MVP → validated user/commercial proposition → working deployment → iteration.
 

Key Responsibilities

• Define product objectives, users, problems, scope and success criteria.
• Translate scientific or technical research into practical product requirements.
• Create product roadmaps, MVP scopes, user journeys and structured implementation plans.
• Separate what is essential for deployment from what can wait.
• Coordinate Data Science, IT, scientific specialists, designers, MarTech, BD and external providers.
• Ensure product-development work progresses even when not every underlying research question is fully resolved.
• Define product features and acceptance criteria.
• Evaluate competitor products and alternative solutions.
• Develop business-model and commercialization hypotheses together with BD.
• Build or improve pricing, packaging and positioning logic.
• Coordinate scientific/technical validation where necessary without allowing validation processes to become an excuse for indefinite non-deployment.
• Identify external technologies, vendors and partners that can accelerate the product.
• Track product readiness, blockers and decisions.
• Conduct practical user, partner or customer validation.
• Manage launch and post-launch iteration.
   

Candidate Profile

DKG's current Life Sciences hiring direction intentionally prioritizes universal operators and strong project/product managers over default recruitment from conventional medical and biotechnology career tracks.

A medical or BioTech degree is therefore not required.

We are particularly interested in candidates who are personally engaged with areas such as longevity, self-quantification, biohacking, human performance or evidence-based health optimization — including candidates whose careers were built outside conventional medicine.

The important combination is:

open-minded + skeptical + evidence-disciplined + execution-oriented.

The person should be capable of challenging both mainstream assumptions and unsubstantiated longevity hype.
 

Requirements

• 3+ years in product management, product development, project leadership, operations, entrepreneurship or a comparable execution role.
• Demonstrated history of moving a product or complex project from concept toward deployment.
• Ability to rapidly learn scientific and technical domains.
• Strong analytical and systems thinking.
• Excellent project structuring and prioritization.
• Strong cross-functional coordination.
• Practical AI fluency.
• Excellent English.
• Ability to work independently in ambiguity.
   

Strong Advantages

• Personal or professional experience with Longevity, quantified self, biohacking, human performance or preventive-health technologies.
• Experience with IHHT/hypoxia, wearable data, diagnostics or consumer health products.
• Digital-health, FinTech, marketplace, real-estate technology or membership-product experience.
• Experience with physical products/facilities as well as software.
• Startup or 0-to-1 product background.
   

What Success Looks Like

Success is not a longer roadmap.

Success is a sequence of better-defined products, smaller and faster MVPs, real external validation, resolved blockers and products moving into practical use or commercialization.
