Senior Analyst/Manager, Strategic Business Operations & Analytics

About the role

Flagship Pioneering is a biotechnology company that invents and builds platform companies that change the world. We bring together the greatest scientific minds with entrepreneurial company builders and assemble capital to allow them to take courageous leaps. Those big leaps in human health and sustainability exponentially accelerate scientific progress in areas ranging from cancer detection and treatment to nature-positive agriculture. What sets Flagship apart is our ability to advance biotechnology by uniting life science innovation, company creation, and capital investment under one roof in a way that is largely without precedent. Our scientific founders, entrepreneurial leaders, and professional capital managers are each aligned around an institutionalized process that enables us to innovate and transform for the benefit of people and planet. Many of the companies Flagship has founded have addressed humanity's most urgent challenges: vaccinating billions of people against COVID-19, curing intractable diseases, improving human health, preempting illness, and feeding the world by improving the resiliency and sustainability of agriculture. Flagship has been recognized twice on FORTUNE's "Change the World" list, an annual ranking of companies that have made a positive social and environmental impact through activities that are part of their core business strategies and has been twice named to Fast Company's annual list of the World's Most Innovative Companies. The Senior Analyst/Manager, Strategic Business Operations and Analytics will sit within the Strategic Business Operations and Analytics (SBOA) team and report into SBOA leadership, while spending the majority of their time supporting the Vice President leading Flagship's Commercial and Competitive Insights (CCI) capability within Pipeline & Platform Innovation (P&PI). CCI is an internal capability that provides commercial strategy and competitive intelligence support to pipeline-building engagements across Flagship's ecosystem companies-and SBOA partners with P&PI to provide the analytical horsepower behind that work. This role focuses on executing the day-to-day CCI workstreams-market opportunity, competitive landscaping, concept pressure-testing, and investment-grade readiness-while also helping build the reusable frameworks, datasets, and AI-enabled tools that make these analyses scalable. This is an entrepreneurial role for someone who is eager to develop both strategic and technical skills, work directly with senior leaders, and operate at the intersection of science, commercial strategy, and finance in a dynamic, fast-growing environment.
