Job Title: Sr. Cardiovascular IS (Information Services) Team Lead
Location: Charlotte, NC
Full time position
Notes from the Manager:
This person should be very hands on and comfortable with trouble shooting. Need to be able to pitch in and work together with a team and willing to also wear many hats and support the team. This person will be working with a team of 7 made up of application specialists and system engineers. They will be working heavily with PACS systems so they should be very familiar with this. This person should be pretty technical, it would be a huge plus if they have done some clinical work on the application side. Individuals who have heavy clinical work paired with IT experience would be at the top of the list. Project Management experience is required, but if we found a really good Senior Clinical Analyst who didn't have a ton of Project Management experience yet, she wouldn't be opposed to hiring them on as a Senior Analyst and then promoting down the line. This person needs to be very forward facing, can be professional and organized and can be comfortable in front of higher level physicials.
Standard hours (8-5, M-F). May possibly telecommute one day a week, will be on call rotation once every 7 weeks.
