• Ability to translate clinical and operational requirements into structured project plans and deliverables
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and complex implementations

Requirements

• Leading end-to-end clinical implementation projects from initiation through installation, validation, go-live, and handover
• Coordinating cross-functional teams across applications, informatics, service, commercial, and quality functions
• Managing complex deployments including instrument installation, automation, software integration, assay migration, and workflow redesign
• Developing detailed project plans, timelines, risk assessments, and mitigation strategies to ensure successful delivery
• Overseeing technical readiness activities including site preparation, infrastructure requirements, and LIS integration
• Building strong relationships with clinical teams, laboratory leadership, and technical partners throughout project delivery
• Supporting laboratory teams through change management, training coordination, and operational readiness
• Contributing to continuous improvement by sharing implementation insights and strengthening delivery methodologies
