As an Executive Program Leader, Diagnostics Solutions, you serve as a senior client-focused leader, responsible for guiding enterprise-wide Danaher One initiatives and ensuring strategic customer adoption, value realization, and long-term account health. Anchored by the Danaher Business System (DBS), you integrate strategic planning, capital stewardship, change management, contract compliance, and governance across complex programs and key accounts, delivering measurable outcomes in growth, quality, and operational excellence. Acting as a trusted advisor, you translate clinical, operational, and financial needs into actionable plans, coordinating execution across stakeholders, and demonstrating exceptional executive presence, financial fluency, project management, and communication skills to influence decision-makers and proactively manage enterprise risk.

In this role you will have an opportunity to:

• Serve as the Danaher One executive interface for strategic clients, partnering with DSE to align Danaher's enterprise strategy with customer priorities through integrated, multi-OpCo roadmaps that drive measurable clinical, operational, and financial value while protecting Danaher's interests.
• Own post-signature executive leadership and value realization for strategic accounts, acting as a trusted advisor to customer C-suite executives to drive adoption, translate complex needs into executable value plans, and ensure long-term partnership health across all Danaher operating companies.
• Lead executive/steering governance, engagement, and performance cadence, including bi-annual Danaher One Executive Business Reviews (EBRs), strategic summits, and ongoing account health monitoring—leveraging dashboards, service metrics, innovation roadmaps, and compliance insights to build trust, prevent surprises, and advance partnerships.
• Drive client-centric capital planning and asset optimization, collaborating with customers on Strategic Asset Management Plans (SAMPs), conducting rigorous ROI and financial analyses, and ensuring capital and asset decisions maximize customer outcomes while maintaining strong governance, controls, and audit readiness.
• Lead client transformation and adoption initiatives, applying DBS and Prosci frameworks to design and execute change management strategies that enable safe, compliant, and sustainable adoption of new technologies, workflows, and solutions while minimizing disruption and operational risk.
• Orchestrate a unified, high-quality Danaher client experience across OpCos, leading without direct reporting lines to align cross-functional teams, standardize operating cadence and escalation models, manage risks and contracts, and serve as the executive escalation point for complex operational, technical, or commercial challenges.
