Job Description

Join Thermo Fisher’s collaborative team as a Product Manager / Senior Product Manager to lead ecosystem-focused initiatives for our scientific data orchestration platform, part of our Digital Science and Automation Solutions (DSAS) business unit within Analytical Instrument Group (AIG).

This role will own the strategy and roadmap for building a scalable ecosystem of supporting and adjacent products through co-development with third-party partners. As an individual contributor reporting to the Director of Product Management, you will work cross-functionally with engineering, external partners, customer-facing teams, and corporate stakeholders to define how the platform is extended through integrations, partner solutions, and complementary offerings that enhance customer value in regulated pharmaceutical environments.

The ideal candidate is located in or near Madrid, Spain.

Responsibilities

Ecosystem Strategy & Partner Product Development:

• Define and drive the product strategy for an ecosystem of partner and adjacent products that extend the core orchestration platform.
• Identify high-value ecosystem opportunities across the laboratory informatics and enterprise data landscape (e.g., LIMS, ELN, SDMS, CDS, analytics tools, instrument vendors, and cloud data platforms).
• Develop a clear vision for how third-party capabilities integrate into and enhance the platform, including value propositions for customers and partners.
• Establish criteria and perform due diligence for partner selection, co-development models, and long-term ecosystem scalability.

Third-Party Co-Development & Partner Collaboration:

• Lead product engagements with external partners to co-develop integrated solutions, including defining joint roadmaps, shared requirements, and delivery milestones.
• Translate partner capabilities and constraints into clear product requirements and integration strategies.
• Act as the primary product interface between internal teams and third-party collaborators, ensuring alignment on scope, timelines, and quality expectations.
• Support partnership models ranging from technical integrations to co-developed applications and marketplace offerings.

Integration Strategy & Extensibility:

• Define product requirements and standards for how external products integrate with the orchestration platform, including APIs, SDKs, data models, and event-driven architectures.
• Drive consistency in integration approaches to ensure scalability, maintainability, and compliance across the ecosystem.
• Partner with engineering to evolve platform extensibility mechanisms that enable rapid onboarding of new partners and solutions.
• Ensure ecosystem integrations support reliable data flow, interoperability, and seamless user experiences across systems.

Ecosystem Experience & Customer Value:

• Ensure that partner solutions are discoverable, usable, and valuable within the broader platform experience.
• Collaborate with UX, engineering, and solution teams to define how ecosystem capabilities are surfaced to end users (e.g., marketplaces, configuration layers, workflows).
• Incorporate customer feedback to continuously refine ecosystem priorities and improve adoption of partner solutions.
• Define success metrics for ecosystem growth, adoption, and customer impact.

Regulatory Compliance & Quality Expectations:

• Ensure ecosystem and partner-developed solutions align with regulated pharmaceutical requirements, including GxP expectations and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 considerations.
• Partner with quality, security, and engineering stakeholders to define expectations for compliance, validation, and auditability across third-party integrations.
• Establish guidelines and guardrails to ensure partner solutions meet Thermo Fisher standards for security, data integrity, and reliability.

Cross-Functional Product Leadership & Delivery:

• Develop clear product vision, epics, and requirements that align ecosystem strategy with technical feasibility and business goals.
• Work closely with engineering teams to prioritize integration and ecosystem capabilities, support tradeoff decisions, and ensure high-quality delivery.
• Collaborate with customer-facing teams (e.g., implementations, support, sales, solution architecture) to ensure ecosystem offerings meet real-world customer needs.
• Partner with business development and commercial teams to align ecosystem strategy with go-to-market approaches.

Requirements

• A Bachelor’s degree in biological-, or life sciences, or software engineering.
• Strong product management fundamentals with experience in ecosystem development, integrations, or partner-facing product roles.
• Experience in laboratory informatics within a pharmaceutical setting (e.g., LIMS, ELN, SDMS, CDS, or instrument data ecosystems) is strongly preferred.
• Experience working with external partners, defining integration strategies, and delivering products that rely on interoperability across systems.
• Familiarity with APIs, platform extensibility, and co-development models is important, along with the ability to navigate technical, business, and regulatory considerations simultaneously.
• Being comfortable leading cross-company collaboration, aligning diverse stakeholders, and translating complex requirements into actionable product plans.
• Experience working in regulated environments and understanding compliance considerations is highly desirable.
