About the Role

Reporting to the Director of Program Management, this newly created Senior Program Manager, Systems Integration role will be responsible for planning and driving execution of system integration for various projects within clinical product development, R&D initiatives, lab operations projects, and business-critical initiatives. This role requires you to think holistically across Freenome’s ecosystem and connect all subsystems in an efficient and reliable manner, with inputs from the scientific teams (molecular research, computational research, laboratory), engineering, and leadership. You will work closely with the Technical Product Managers to ensure that the software and infrastructure are established to enable patient data analysis. You will work closely with the Quality and Regulatory team to ensure Design Control processes and metrics are followed and met to enable successful progression through the FDA.

You will define and execute a product plan in conjunction with a broader overall product development strategy, gather and prioritize user requirements, facilitate design/implementation discussions, and drive development execution. This role offers the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the complex and pivotal role of all subsystems within product development in Freenome. Success entails a clear and shared development path that yields indispensable tools for building Freenome’s diagnostic products.

How you’ll contribute:

• Define and coordinate system integration requirements, planning, and schedule.
• Deep understanding of all touchpoints across system integration and how progress will affect downstream activities: Verification and Validation.

• Develop, track, and analyze project’s key performance indicators (KPIs) including the effectiveness of technical strategies, regulatory pathways, clinical development progress, project execution, and product development risks (e.g., adherence to schedule, scope, resources), to provide management detailed status updates.
• Organize regular team meetings to drive progress, track and mitigate risks, resolve/escalate issues, and review action items.
• Generate the necessary documentation and assist teams with creating project plans, protocols, reports, etc.
