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 Manager of New Product Commercialization 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
