Sr Molecular Pathologist | Liquid Biopsy | VP+ Level

This role is open at Senior Director / VP / Executive level for the right individual.

We are looking for the best of the best.

New York / New Jersey

On-site

We are building what we believe can become the leading liquid biopsy and molecular diagnostics program in the world
. This role sits at the heart of that ambition.

We are looking for a hands-on Molecular Pathologist who wants true ownership — someone motivated by building, scaling, and clinically deploying next-generation molecular assays rather than operating in purely academic, advisory, or medical affairs environments.

The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to:

• Help design and build a best-in-class molecular diagnostics platform
• Own liquid biopsy, ctDNA, and MRD assays from concept through live clinical sign-out
• Shape standards, workflows, and assay strategy at a global level

This is not a review-only role. This is a leader and builder’s role
.

What You’ll Do

• Act as an independent molecular sign-out pathologist in a CLIA/CAP laboratory
• Lead NGS assay development and validation (DNA/RNA), end-to-end
• Drive liquid biopsy / ctDNA / MRD assay design, validation, SOP authorship, and regulatory readiness
• Work closely with bioinformatics, laboratory operations, and quality/regulatory teams to scale assays into routine clinical use
• Take ownership of assay troubleshooting, optimisation, and expansion

Required Background

• MD with board certification in Molecular Genetic Pathology (MGP)
• (or AP/CP with documented, ongoing molecular sign-out responsibility)
• 5+ years practicing as a molecular pathologist
• 5+ years post-board certification with independent clinical responsibility
• Demonstrated ownership of NGS assay build-out and clinical implementation
• Hands-on experience in a CLIA/CAP molecular diagnostics laboratory
• Direct experience with liquid biopsy / ctDNA assays
• (MRD experience strongly preferred)

Nice to Have

• Experience beyond solid-tumor-only molecular diagnostics
• Proven history of taking assays from build → validation → live clinical sign-out
• Comfort operating in fast-moving, high-expectation environments
• Not a purely academic or medical affairs-led profile

Why This Role

• Opportunity to help build one of the most ambitious molecular diagnostics programs globally
• Real technical and clinical ownership
• Senior-level impact without stepping away from hands-on execution
