About Rancho BioSciences

Rancho BioSciences ("Rancho") is a provider of biomedical data curation and data science services to the pharma and biotech end markets, primarily in drug discovery, preclinical, and clinical research. Rancho provides end-to-end solutions across data curation, data management, data mining, and data analysis to help customers harmonize disparate data sets to accelerate and improve R&D processes, delivered by a highly credentialed team of scientists, data experts, and engineers. Rancho has a strong reputation for high quality services, with long-term relationships with blue-chip customers, including Genentech, J&J / Janssen, and BMS.

Rancho operates in a ~$400mm, rapidly growing (15%+) market for data curation and analysis supporting drug discovery, with potential to expand into much larger adjacent data analysis markets ($1Bn+) in support of clinical research and medical affairs and commercialization. Life sciences companies are accumulating diverse and complex data at a rapid pace, but lack the bandwidth and capabilities to organize, clean, and curate the data into a usable form to gather valuable insights. Pharma companies are increasingly outsourcing this workflow to companies like Rancho. Today, Rancho is the scaled leader in its segments, with significant room to grow.

Role Overview

The VP Intelligent Data Products will be leading a key part of Rancho's business. This role will focus on two related areas, helping to broaden Rancho from a services company to a services and product company. First, leading development and commercialization of its inaugural product offering. Second, leading the use of strategy and product development responsibilities for additional AI solutions, identifying and prioritizing reusable components and capabilities across Rancho's existing products.

Rancho is the leader in curating and harmonizing biomedical data. The company has built on this foundation with offerings in single-cell data (11 members to date in the Single Cell Data Consortium). Based on Rancho's leading capabilities in curating and building ML-ready client and public data sets, we are building an Agentic AI system that provides an intuitive user interface to integrate curated Rancho data and client data/other data sets and enable insight into critical business questions through AI-driven analytics. We are seeking a seasoned specialist with experience in the biomedical research products space to help with initial development and launch of the new Rancho offering. This role would have full P&L responsibility including bookings (working with the sales team), sales, gross margin, and drive overall product strategy. We are looking for someone who has a strong spike in product development, while also being able to lead and grow a business unit.
