• Coordinate pre-transplant evaluations and required testing, including cardiac, pulmonary, dental, laboratory, and other clinical clearances.

• Facilitate related and unrelated donor evaluations, patient workups, collections, and CAR-T therapy coordination.

• Partner with the NMDP to support unrelated donor searches and transplantation arrangements.

• Coordinate closely with physicians, nursing, apheresis, laboratory, radiology, and other ancillary services to help ensure timely line placement, collections, testing, results, and treatment.

• Help patients transition seamlessly between outpatient and inpatient care throughout the pre- and post-transplant journey.

• Maintain required clinical documentation and databases and complete required reporting to CIBMTR.

• Support quality management through internal audits, external audits, accreditation activities, and ongoing compliance with program standards.

• Lead the weekly Stem Cell Transplant interdisciplinary review board and participate in quarterly program meetings.

• Contribute to the implementation and onboarding of new cellular therapy services as the program continues to evolve.

Qualifications:

• Current Registered Nurse (RN) licensure

• Associate Degree in Nursing; BSN preferred

• At least two years of oncology and/or hematology nursing experience required.

You May Be a Great Fit If You Are…

An experienced hematology/oncology nurse who enjoys seeing the whole picture of a patient's care . You know how to educate and reassure patients and families during emotionally challenging moments. You're comfortable collaborating across multiple disciplines, keeping complex clinical details organized, anticipating what needs to happen next, and advocating for patients throughout their treatment journey.

Direct transplant coordinator experience is preferred, but it is not the only path to this opportunity. Nurses with strong hematology/oncology experience and the clinical knowledge, communication skills, and organizational ability to transition into cell therapy and transplant coordination are encouraged to apply.

Why This Role Matters

For patients undergoing stem cell transplantation or CAR-T therapy, treatment is more than a single procedure—it is a complex journey involving multiple specialists, tests, services, decisions, and transitions in care.

As their Cell Therapy & Transplant Coordinator, you help connect all of those pieces.

You'll combine your oncology nursing expertise with patient advocacy, education, clinical coordination, and interdisciplinary collaboration while building expertise in one of the most specialized and rapidly advancing areas of cancer care.
