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 #LI-FL1 Employment with ICON is contingent upon having the legal right to work in the country where the role is based.
