Commercialization Program Manager

Role Overview

PIC, the world leader in porcine genetics, is preparing for the first commercial launch of the gene edited PRRS-Resistant Pig (PRP), a breakthrough in animal health that improves animal welfare, reduces antibiotic use, strengthens producer resilience, and meaningfully lowers the environmental footprint of pork production. With global demand growing and sustainability pressures intensifying, PRP represents one of the most important biotechnology innovations in modern livestock production.

To support this fast-moving program, PIC is accelerating work across regulatory, commercial, supply chain, and customer readiness. We are hiring a Commercialization Program Manager to help drive cross-functional execution, support strategic decision-making, and keep high-priority commercialization workstreams moving at pace.

This role is ideal for someone who is analytical, organized, collaborative, and energized by the opportunity to help bring first-in-class biotechnology to market. Experience in agriculture or animal genetics is not required — but curiosity about life-science innovation, strong project management capability, and the ability to partner across functions to deliver results are essential. You will learn quickly, manage multiple complex initiatives, and play a direct role in shaping a transformational launch with meaningful benefits for pigs, producers, consumers, and the planet.

Role Overview

The Commercialization Program Manager will report to the Director of New Product Commercialization and coordinate critical elements of the global PRP commercialization program. This includes conducting market and regulatory research, identifying and engaging external experts, supporting the organization of cross-functional projects, preparing executive-ready materials, and ensuring follow-through across multiple internal and external stakeholders.

This role is a force-multiplier for the program and is essential in ensuring PIC can move at the speed required to launch PRP globally. The work is meaningful, cross-functional, and highly visible, impacting the introduction of one of the most important genetic innovations in swine production.

You will work at the intersection of science, strategy, operations, regulation, and customer engagement—gaining a uniquely broad perspective and making a direct contribution to the successful commercialization of transformational technology.

The salary range for this position is $105,000 - $122,000 USD. The salary provided is a good faith estimate representative of all experience levels. Genus considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role, function and associated responsibilities, a candidate’s work experience, location, education/training, and key skills.
