• Lead agile product delivery across the portfolio, including outcome-based planning, backlog management, dependency alignment, and iterative delivery informed by data.
• Lead and scale UX design and research, including discovery, journey mapping, information architecture, prototyping, usability testing, and accessibility.
• Partner with laboratory leaders and technical teams to align experiences with lab workflows, specimen lifecycle, and results systems.
• Advance scientific discovery by designing AI-native data systems and products that support bioinformatics, data science, and clinical development.
