Seeking an experienced Senior Lab Manager to lead our mass spectrometry lab in biomarker discovery and molecular identification. Key responsibilities include managing day-to-day operations, method development, scheduling, capacity planning, vendor relations, inventory, and EHS.
About the Role
* Lead the lab: Responsible for the overall direction and strategy of the lab.
* Team & culture: Hire, coach, and develop scientists; enforce speed, efficiency, and ownership.
* Partner success: Translate objectives into executable lab plans; communicate progress, risks, and results with clarity.
Key Qualifications
* 7+ years running a mass-spectrometry lab in a fast-paced environment (CRO metabolomics services or pharma/biotech internal MS labs).
* Deep hands-on experience in sample preparation (plasma/serum/urine/tissues), LC-MS(/MS), and method development (QTOF; IMS a plus).
* Proven track record in biomarker discovery (study design, QC, stats) and metabolite identification (library/structure workflows).
* Familiarity with data tools (MS-DIAL, XCMS, Skyline, MassHunter) and basic scripting (R/Python) for QC/analysis.
* SOP writing, audits/readiness, and comfort evolving from non-GLP toward GLP.
Benefits
* Impact that matters: Help solve one of the most difficult bottlenecks in translational science, trustworthy molecular ID and actionable biomarkers.
* Elite collaborators: Work with leading hospitals, biotech, and pharma on programs that change patient outcomes.
* Ownership & growth: High autonomy, rapid learning, and a direct line from your work to patient benefit.
