  • Experience leading teams, setting team goals, prioritizing work based on available information and stakeholder needs, and utilizing metrics to measure success
  • Experience providing an effective work environment
  • The ability to troubleshoot technical and staffing roadblocks and mitigate risks
  • Experience in diplomatically resolving conflicting priorities from multiple user groups and technical stakeholders
  • The ability to troubleshoot technical and staffing roadblocks and mitigate risks
  • Excellent communication skills, including verbal, written, and presentation skills
  • Strong interpersonal engagement, networking, and collaboration skills

Desired Skills/Experience
  • Experience working with SRA or similar sequence databases and applying next generation sequencing data to biological problems
  • Experience serving in the capacity of post-doctorate Investigator, Product Owner, or Product Manager
  • Familiarity and commitment to FAIR data practices
  • Familiarity or experience working in an Agile environment
  • Familiarity with data storage and/or processing in commercial cloud platforms like AWS or GCP
  • Working familiarity with one or more scripting languages
