- Manage LIMS operations, data integrity, and electronic result release workflows
- Review, interpret, and troubleshoot LCMS data for clinical result accuracy and timely reporting
- Collaborate with leadership on performance improvement and strategic planning
- Ensure all laboratory processes meet CLIA, CAP, and state requirements
