Our long-time client is seeking a senior Laboratory Systems Implementation Project Manager and Scrum Master to lead a complex, multi-platform transformation for an advanced academic and research laboratory. The program includes implementation of Oracle Health Path Net AP, Oracle Health Lab Sequence, and Sectra Digital Pathology, together with integrations that support emerging artificial intelligence tools for laboratory reporting.

This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced laboratory technology professional who can translate strategic direction into an executable program, operate effectively through ambiguity, and drive decisions across laboratory leadership, faculty, technical teams, vendors, and executive stakeholders. The successful candidate will combine disciplined program and project management with practical Agile leadership, adapting Scrum, Kanban, and iterative delivery practices to Oracle’s implementation methodology, contractual milestones, regulatory requirements, and vendor dependencies.

The role requires more than facilitation. This leader will establish the integrated plan, create the delivery structure, map current and future-state laboratory workflows, define net-new operating processes, surface risks and decisions early, and maintain accountability through implementation, validation, go-live, and stabilization.

• Oracle Health Path Net AP implementation to replace Cerner CoPath before its end of support at the end of 2027.
• Oracle Health Lab Sequence implementation as the molecular and genetics LIMS, including transformation of workflows that currently rely on a limited CoPath implementation and extensive spreadsheet-based data management.
• Sectra Digital Pathology implementation and integration as the imaging management platform supporting pathology workflows.
• Integration for internally developed AI-enabled laboratory reporting tools across the new laboratory systems ecosystem.

• Own end-to-end program delivery from initiation and discovery through design, build, integration, validation, deployment, go-live, stabilization, and transition to operational support.
• Translate strategic objectives and high-level guidance into an integrated roadmap, work breakdown structure, delivery plan, governance model, resource plan, and tactical execution strategy.
• Lead the implementation and coordinate dependencies across Oracle Health Path Net AP, Oracle Health Lab Sequence, Sectra Digital Pathology, interfaces, infrastructure, data migration, reporting, AI capabilities, and downstream systems.
• Establish and maintain an integrated master schedule that aligns laboratory readiness, Oracle implementation activities, vendor deliverables, testing cycles, regulatory and validation requirements, training, cutover, and go-live milestones.
• Adapt Agile practices to Oracle’s implementation methodology and vendor-led delivery model; facilitate the ceremonies and working sessions that improve transparency, decision velocity, accountability, and incremental progress.
• Partner with laboratory leadership, faculty, pathologists, medical directors and genetic counselors, operational staff, informatics teams, and technical stakeholders to document current-state workflows and design safe, efficient future-state workflows.
• Facilitate requirements, workflow, solution-design, prioritization, backlog, and decision-making sessions; ensure requirements and acceptance criteria are complete, traceable, testable, and aligned to clinical and research needs.
• Drive interface and integration planning across Path Net AP, Lab Sequence, Sectra, instruments, enterprise systems, data platforms, and internally developed AI reporting tools.
• Coordinate data conversion and migration strategy, data quality remediation, archival and retention planning, reconciliation, and business ownership of legacy CoPath and…
