Full Job Description
Hematology Supervisor, Laboratory- Farmingdale NY
We are seeking an experienced laboratory supervisor to lead our Hematology section in Farmingdale, NY — a high-volume, multi-disciplinary department encompassing automated hematology, urinalysis, coagulation, and hemoglobin A1c testing. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone with deep technical proficiency across hematology, urinalysis, coagulation, and HbA1c testing — and the maturity to lead, develop, and the ability to lead and bring out the best in a team.
Supervisor, Hematology Laboratory
ICON plc | Farmingdale, NY | Full-Time
Department: Clinical Laboratory – Hematology, Urinalysis, Coagulation & HbA1c
What You Will Do
You will oversee daily operations across four testing disciplines within our Hematology department, including Hematology, Urinalysis, Coagulation, Hemoglobin A1c testing.
Key supervisory responsibilities include:
- Supervising day-to-day laboratory operations across hematology, urinalysis, coagulation, and HbA1c testing, ensuring accurate and timely processing of clinical trial specimens
- Managing, mentoring, and developing laboratory staff, including training on instrumentation, SOPs, and quality standards
- Maintaining compliance with CLIA, CAP, NYS, and sponsor-specific requirements across all testing areas
- Overseeing quality control performance, instrument maintenance schedules, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting on Sysmex, Novus, Stago, and Trinity Biotech platforms
- Reviewing and approving QC data, ensuring out-of-control events are properly investigated and documented
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams to resolve specimen-related issues and support clinical trial deliverables
- Contributing to SOP authorship, review cycles, and appendix maintenance for supervised testing areas
- Supporting proficiency testing, external quality assurance, bi-monthly studies, and regulatory inspection readiness
- Tracking and reporting section-level turnaround time (TAT) performance, flagging exceptions, and implementing corrective actions
- Participating in cross-site harmonization initiatives
Working at a CRO vs. a Hospital Lab
If you’ve built your career in a hospital, you’ll feel at home in our laboratory — and find the broader scope genuinely energizing.
What’s Familiar
The instrumentation and technical discipline will be immediately recognizable:
- Sysmex and hematology analyzers for CBC and differential — the same platforms in clinical labs nationwide
- Stago coagulation platforms for PT, aPTT, and fibrinogen testing
- Trinity Biotech Premier Hb9210 for NGSP-certified HbA1c
- Novus Urinalysis with automated chemistry and microscopy review
- Rigorous QC practices, SOP-driven workflows, and regulatory compliance expectations (CLIA, CAP, NYS)
What’s Different
The context and mission shift in meaningful ways:
- You are not reporting results to physicians for immediate clinical decisions — you are generating high-integrity data that feeds into clinical trial databases and regulatory submissions
- Instead of collaborating with nurses, residents, and caregivers, your cross-functional partners include program managers, Global QC, Specimen Management, Harmonization, Data Integrity, and Scientific Affairs teams
- Specimens arrive from clinical trial sites around the world with strict chain-of-custody and protocol-specific handling requirements — traceability and documentation are paramount
- You will work within a globally harmonized laboratory network, aligning your section’s operations with ICON’s labs in Dublin, Singapore, and Beijing
- Career growth extends beyond the laboratory — paths into global QC, validations, scientific affairs, and other senior roles are accessible from this position.
Your Profile
Required qualifications:
- New York State license as a Medical Laboratory Scientist (Clinical Laboratory Technologist) required
- MLS(ASCP) or equivalent national certification preferred
- Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Laboratory Science, Medical Technology, or related scientific discipline
- Minimum 3–5 years of clinical laboratory experience with direct supervisory or lead responsibility
- Hands-on experience with hematology, coagulation, urinalysis, and/or HbA1c testing strongly preferred
- Working knowledge of CLIA, CAP, and NYS laboratory regulatory requirements
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage staff, workload, and priorities simultaneously
- Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across functional teams
- Experience in a CRO, clinical trials, or pharmaceutical laboratory environment a plus
