Job description

AccuScan Sciences is simultaneously executing multiple high-priority, interdependent programs across five workstreams. This level of operational complexity has exceeded the capacity of ad hoc or single-project management and now requires centralized program leadership to strengthen execution discipline, cross-functional coordination, and timeline accountability.
The Director, Program Management will provide centralized program and portfolio leadership to translate AccuScan's strategy into executable plans, drive multi-workstream execution, and ensure leadership has timely visibility into milestones, risks, dependencies, resources, decisions, and progress. This role will establish the governance structure, operating cadence, and reporting discipline required to support OKR achievement and delivery against critical timelines.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Lead centralized program and portfolio management across AccuScan's five priority workstreams, including product, clinical, regulatory, business development, laboratory, operations, quality, IT, and commercial initiatives.
  • Establish program governance, operating cadence, reporting structures, milestone reviews, decision forums, escalation pathways, and executive-level visibility across complex programs.
  • Translate strategic priorities and OKRs into integrated program plans with defined scope, owners, deliverables, milestones, dependencies, risks, resource needs, and success metrics.
  • Drive end-to-end planning, milestone tracking, risk management, resource planning, and dependency management across multiple interdependent programs.
  • Manage, guide, and develop project managers or workstream leads to ensure consistent execution standards, accountability, and timely completion of cross-functional deliverables.
  • Coordinate cross-functional execution across product, clinical, regulatory, quality, laboratory, business development, finance, IT, commercial, and leadership stakeholders to reduce gaps, duplication, and timeline risk.
  • Prepare concise leadership updates, dashboards, meeting agendas, action item trackers, and decision requests to support timely executive alignment and accountability.
  • Support program execution within diagnostics, genomics, life sciences, CLIA/CAP laboratory, regulated healthcare, LDT, IVD, or CE-IVDR product development contexts, as applicable.
  • Perform other duties as assigned to support team and organizational objectives.
  • Comply with all company policies, procedures, and applicable regulatory requirements.
