This role leads the technical operations and continuous improvement of an anatomic pathology lab across modalities such as microscopy, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and digital pathology. It is a hands-on position requiring time in the lab, collaboration with pathologists, and active coaching of managers.
The primary focus is translating strategic goals into effective daily operations. This includes designing efficient workflows, reducing bottlenecks, and building systems that support consistent, high-quality performance without reliance on reactive problem-solving.

A core responsibility is developing section managers by setting clear expectations, providing direct feedback, and strengthening their leadership capabilities so they can grow and lead their teams effectively. The role also oversees technical training programs, ensuring staff gain the competencies needed through structured, practical learning.
The Technical Director partners with quality assurance and physician leadership to maintain compliance with CAP, CLIA, and state regulations, ensuring readiness for inspections and maintaining scientific rigor.

The role requires strong cross-functional collaboration, acting as a bridge between leadership strategy and lab execution while working with operations, training, IT, and finance.
Candidates should have leadership experience in laboratory or technical environments, with a track record of developing teams and improving operations. Anatomic pathology experience is preferred but not required for those willing to learn.
The ideal candidate is proactive, systems-oriented, and committed to continuous learning, withstrong communication skills, integrity, and a focus on patient impact."
