Passionate about making a difference in the world of cancer genomics?

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. We are looking for a Technical Project Manager with the IT PMO, reporting to the Head of IT.

As an ideal candidate, you will operate at all levels to effectively manage projects.

  • Report project statuses, quality metrics, and general feedback to team leadership
  • Continually develop and evolve project management processes and tools to ensure optimal efficiency

Qualifications:

  • 3-5 years project management experience working with large, highly integrated projects
  • Familiarity and experience with Project Management Methodologies and demonstrable experience in project delivery and management of complex projects

  • Ability to work independently and within a team environment
  • Highly organized and systematic, superb attention to detail, and ability to complete tasks with a high degree of accuracy and an eye towards process improvement
  • Superior analytical, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills

What are some things you learned at the company?

One of the things that molded my growth was seeing how much thought goes into the decisions, and how much leadership seeks feedback from the people around them, to help understand the impact of decision-making.
