SLM engages across stakeholder groups to drive efficiency and better ways of working for lab services and the specimens that are needed.

• Assist with educational content for employees (e.g., specimen education modules) and help maintain/improve the specimen SharePoint site.

• Engage across functions—Central Labs, Specialty Labs, Study teams—and with external lab suppliers to gather inputs, resolve questions, and drive progress on assigned work.

• Broaden your understanding of the business areas involved in Laboratory services and specimen technology and how they intersect with clinical operations.

• Strengthen project management and communication skills while translating between business needs and IT/operations.

• Grow your teamwork capabilities and learn/share new ways of working in a fast‑moving, cross‑functional environment.

Required Experience/Skills

• Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in information systems, Computer Science, Data Analytics, Biomedical/Bioengineering, Life Sciences, or related field.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable facilitating discussions and following up across multiple groups.

• Curiosity, organization, and a proactive, team‑oriented mindset.

Preferred Experience/Skills

• Experience with data analysis or reporting tools/dashboards.

• Technology‑related coursework or comfort level (for example: database management, web technologies, or project management tools).
