Job Description
Vice President, Laboratory Software Engineering
Natera
• Define and own the enterprise laboratory informatics strategy spanning sample accessioning, order management, sample tracking, and workflow orchestration across wet labs, dry labs, and downstream data consumers. • Lead the modernization of a predominantly homegrown informatics landscape, including architectural redesign, platform consolidation, and technology standardization. • Drive strategic build-vs-buy decisions, including vendor evaluation, platform selection, and long-term ownership models. • Establish and execute a multi-year roadmap that supports enterprise growth, new product introductions, and evolving regulatory expectations. • Ensure informatics platforms reliably support high-throughput, mission-critical laboratory operations across Oncology, Women’s Health, and Organ Health portfolios. • Partner closely with laboratory operations, product, R&D, quality, and regulatory teams to optimize workflows, increase automation, and reduce operational friction. • Enable rapid onboarding of new assays and laboratory workflows while maintaining system stability, data integrity, and compliance. • Define and track KPIs related to system performance, availability, throughput, and operational efficiency. • Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing organization of approximately 200 professionals across laboratory applications engineering, workflow platforms, data systems, validation, and operations support. • Build strong leadership bench strength and succession plans across a geographically distributed organization. • Foster a culture of technical excellence, accountability, customer focus, and continuous improvement. • Evolve organizational structures and operating models toward enterprise platforms rather than siloed, business-unit–specific systems. • Ensure informatics platforms meet regulatory and quality requirements, including CLIA, CAP, HIPAA, FDA-regulated diagnostics (including LDTs), and applicable GxP standards. • Establish policies and controls to ensure data integrity, traceability, security, and privacy across the laboratory informatics ecosystem. • Communicate platform strategy, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to executive leadership and other stakeholders. • Maintain strong relationships with laboratory users through regular engagement, including onsite interaction in San Carlos, CA and Austin, TX as needed.
