Manager of Bioinformatics (Women's Health and Organ Health)

Natera is seeking a Manager, Bioinformatics to lead production support for the bioinformatics and data science algorithms behind our Women's Health and Organ Health products. You will lead a team of Data and Bioinformatics Scientists who are accountable for how those algorithms behave on real samples, and you will own the interface between that team and the production organization.

The key challenge of this role is resolving inconclusive reports, where a scientist has to weigh the full body of evidence to reach a determination. You will determine whether an inconclusive report reflects technical constraints or a data quality issue, and how the upstream processes should change so that fewer cases arrive inconclusive. You will maintain a catalogue of known patterns so that new cases can be matched to settled ones, and use AI to assemble and help interpret the evidence at triage.

The job is more than operational, and it is the most cross-functional seat on the team. You’ll need to coordinate across multiple groups – Production Engineering, Product, the laboratory, and R&D – often getting them to align on changes in direction and scope, so success requires leveraging strong communication, negotiation, and consensus-building skills rather than authority.

There is no stated service commitment for this function yet, and defining one is part of the job. You will work out what the team can commit to on turnaround and coverage, get the groups that depend on it to agree, and build the process and staffing that hold it.

This range reflects a good-faith estimate of the base pay we reasonably expect to offer at the time of  hire. Final compensation will vary based on experience, qualifications, and internal equity considerations.

This position is also eligible for additional compensation and benefits through Natera’s robust Total Rewards program, including:

• Annual performance incentive bonus

• Long-term equity awards

• Comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision)

• 401(k) with company match

• Generous paid time off and company holidays

• Additional wellness and work-life benefits
