About Us
Deep Genomics is at the forefront of using artificial intelligence to transform drug discovery. Our proprietary AI platform decodes the complexity of genome biology to identify novel drug targets, mechanisms, and genetic medicines inaccessible through traditional methods. We co-develop drug programs and AI models with partners and internally, and pursue major technology builds with pharmaceutical partners. With expertise spanning machine learning, bioinformatics, data science, engineering, and drug development, our multidisciplinary team located in Toronto, Cambridge, MA, and select other sites is revolutionizing how new medicines are created.
Where You Fit In
As a Senior Technical Project Manager on the Machine Learning Science (ML Science) team, you will lead the execution of complex, cross-functional projects at the intersection of machine learning, genome biology, and drug discovery. You’ll play a pivotal role in helping our teams build and deploy ML models that enable key scientific breakthroughs in target identification, molecule design, and therapeutic optimization.
You’ll partner closely with a broad range of stakeholders — including ML Scientists, Bioinformaticians, Statistical Geneticists, Experimental Biologists, Product Managers, Engineers, and Leadership — to ensure ML projects are well-scoped, prioritized, and delivered effectively. These initiatives span internal model development and high-impact external collaborations, including pharmaceutical partnerships, and require tight coordination across both technical and scientific teams.
You will report to the Chief Innovation Officer, Brendan Frey, and work with teams across Machine Learning, Target Identification, Engineering, Platform Biology, Platform Technology, Platform Chemistry, Legal, Drug Discovery, and Alliances & Partnerships to drive the successful execution of our ML development goals. This hybrid role is based in Toronto, and candidates must be located in or able to relocate to Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the planning, execution, and delivery of machine learning projects across internal R&D and strategic partnerships.

- Exceptional organizational and communication skills, with experience engaging stakeholders from engineering, research, and leadership.
- Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams.
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, research-driven environment where priorities evolve based on new data and discovery.
- Strategic thinking and attention to detail; capable of zooming in and out as needed to support tactical execution and high-level planning.
Preferred Qualifications
- PMP certification or equivalent.
- Background in biology, genomics, or computational sciences.
- Prior experience working in biotech, life sciences, or scientific R&D settings.
- Familiarity with ML tools (e.g., MLflow, Kubeflow) and cloud platforms (e.g., GCP).
What We Offer
- A collaborative and innovative environment at the frontier of computational biology, machine learning, and drug discovery.
- Highly competitive compensation, including meaningful stock ownership.
- Comprehensive benefits - including health, vision, and dental coverage for employees and families, employee and family assistance program.
