ABOUT FORESIGHT DIAGNOSTICS

Foresight Diagnostics is a molecular diagnostics company pioneering non-invasive cancer detection through highly sensitive, cell-free DNA-based liquid biopsy technologies. Our proprietary methods - originally developed at Stanford University - are designed to detect smaller tumors earlier and enable more personalized treatment strategies for patients with cancer.

We sit at the intersection of molecular biology, bioinformatics, and next-generation sequencing (NGS), and we translate rigorous science into clinically meaningful solutions. Following our acquisition by Natera, we now combine the agility of a mission-driven startup with the scale and resources of a global leader in cell-free DNA testing. It’s an exciting moment to join us.

Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, our team operates in a high accountability, collaborative environment where quality and continuous improvement aren’t just values - they’re how we work every day.

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

The Technical Project Manager will lead the planning and execution of software-focused projects supporting laboratory operations, product development, and internal tools. This role is highly execution-oriented and requires a strong ability to translate business and user needs into clearly defined technical requirements, documentation, and deliverables. Projects may include leading cross-functional teams to develop, verify, validate and deploy custom software systems, such as Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and other internally developed software and bioinformatic tools. The role will work closely with software engineering, product software, bioinformatics, laboratory operations, R&D, quality, and regulatory teams to gather requirements, define scope, and ensure solutions are developed, tested, and deployed in accordance with applicable processes and standards. This position will operate within both non-product software SOPs and regulated product software frameworks (IEC 62304), depending on the application, and will play a key role in ensuring appropriate documentation, traceability, and compliance.

This role is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, technically fluent, and motivated to “own the work” from requirements through implementation in a regulated, fast-paced environment.

This position reports to the Associate Director, Program Management, with potential alignment under a Senior Program Manager as the team continues to scale.
