Lead Sonography Maternal Fetal Medicine - North and Jersey

Total Sono supports OB/GYN practices by providing high-quality obstetrical and gynecological ultrasound services delivered by skilled sonographers and guided by perinatologists. Our team plays an important role in helping patients understand what is happening in their pregnancy or their health, offering clarity during moments that can feel exciting, vulnerable, or both. We combine clinical excellence with a warm, patient-first approach, and we're looking for a Lead Sonographer who wants to keep scanning while helping their teammates succeed.

As a Lead Sonographer, you'll be a working lead: you'll continue to perform diagnostic ultrasound exams, with a focus on MFM and high-risk studies, while serving as a clinical resource and day-to-day point of guidance for your fellow sonographers. You'll be the first point of contact for questions and escalations at your site, give regular feedback and coaching, and help keep workflow, scheduling, and coverage running smoothly so patients get consistent, high-quality care.

This is a team lead role, not a supervisory one. You'll guide and support your peers and help hold the team to our standards, but you won't hire, discipline, or terminate staff. Those decisions stay with the Manager, Ultrasound Technology, whom you'll report to.
