Passionate about precision medicine and advancing the healthcare industry?

Recent advancements in underlying technology have finally made it possible for AI to impact clinical care in a meaningful way. Tempus’ proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence to deliver real-time, actionable insights to physicians, providing critical information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time.

With the advent of genomic sequencing, we can finally decode and process our genetic makeup. We now have more data than ever before but providers don’t have the infrastructure or expertise to make sense of this data. We’re on a mission to connect an entire ecosystem to redefine how genomic data is used in clinical settings. 

What You’ll Do:

• Plan, manage and coordinate the operational activities of a cutting-edge clinical laboratory to support next-generation sequencing workflow and Immunohistochemistry with rapid turnaround times
• Oversee daily laboratory activities, key projects and management staff
• Serve as an operations expert in cross functional teams and for the lab
• Deliver regular updates to Sr Director, Clinical Lab Operations to summarize issues, delays laboratory performance, turnaround times, instrument downtime, productivity, and other performance metrics
• Provide solutions to highly complex problems with a high degree of ingenuity and  creativity 
• Ensure high quality results for all samples according to standard operating procedures within the sequencing workflow
• Reviews daily, weekly, and monthly QC results, identify trends and performs follow up as needed
• Ensure all safety protocols are followed
• Maintain regulatory compliance within the lab, including CAP, CLIA, NYS, OSHA, etc
• Review standard operating procedures
• Manage implementation of new workflows for new and existing assays
• Drive process improvements and process standardization
• Provide direction, mentoring, and professional guidance to laboratory employees
• Resolve operational issues, bottlenecks and ensures corrective actions are taken
• Evaluate the competency of all testing personnel on an ongoing basis

Qualifications:

• MS or BS in medical technology, clinical laboratory science, chemical, physical or biological science, business, engineering or operations and at least 12 years of experience in high throughput laboratory or manufacturing 
• Over 7 years experience supervising teams in a CLIA/CAP high-complexity laboratory
