Design the architectural framework for next-generation sample accessioning and triage, utilizing automation and intelligent routing to minimize manual data entry and sample handling errors.
Define the strategy for End-to-End Workflow Tracking, ensuring real-time visibility of sample status from kit activation through wet-lab processing to final clinical reporting.
Lead the modernization of Workflow Orchestration, moving away from static, hard-coded paths toward a dynamic, metadata-driven engine that supports complex branching across multiple lab sites.
Partner with Lab Ops to identify "automation-first" opportunities, ensuring software and robotics (Hamilton, Tecan, etc.) are deeply integrated for maximum throughput.
Architect the "Digital Bridge" between Laboratory Information Systems (LIMS) and commercial platforms, ensuring robust, bi-directional data flow with EMR/EHR systems and Provider Portals.
Collaborate with Customer Experience (CX) teams to ensure lab data is surfaced to patients and providers through modern, API-driven interfaces.
Lead the technical strategy for "Order Triage," ensuring complex clinical orders are validated and routed correctly across diverse business units (Oncology, MRD, WH).

10+ years of experience in enterprise software architecture, with a heavy emphasis on Laboratory Informatics, LIMS, or Healthcare IT.
Demonstrated success designing systems that manage high-volume sample lifecycles (Accessioning, Triage, and Orchestration).
Proven expertise in Enterprise Integration Patterns, specifically connecting clinical lab systems to EMRs and RCM/Billing platforms.
Deep understanding of the "Order-to-Cash" technical journey in a diagnostic or medical device environment.
Strong executive presence with the ability to influence Lab Operations, Commercial, and Engineering stakeholders.
