Laboratory Technical Supervisor

Mission

Neko is redefining what prevention means, from treating illness when it arrives, to sustaining health before it's ever at risk. Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear.

In a single, non-invasive visit under an hour, proprietary technology and direct clinical care combine to deliver personalised, actionable insights. It's a team that thinks in 10x, not 10%. Every role here plays a part in building a world where prevention is the norm, and where your work genuinely helps people live longer, healthier lives.

Role Purpose

This is a two-phase role. First, you build the lab. Then you run it.

You'll lead the setup and validation of Neko's on-site clinical laboratory in Miami — Abbott Alinity platforms, SOPs, workflows, regulatory readiness — and bring it through to a compliant go-live under CLIA, CMS, and the state of Florida. After go-live, you become the on-site technical owner and people leader: responsible for instrument performance, testing quality, inspection readiness, and the development of the Laboratory Technologist team that runs the bench day to day.

You'll partner closely with the Head of Labs, who provides multi-site oversight and holds final regulatory sign-off. But the lab on the ground — and the team in it — is yours.

What You'll Deliver in the First 6–12 Months

• Lead laboratory setup and go-live readiness, taking the lab from empty space to compliant patient testing under CLIA, CMS, and Florida State regulations.

• Complete full instrument and assay validation on Abbott Alinity platforms — accuracy, precision, reportable range, reference intervals, analytical performance — with complete, inspection-ready documentation.

• Establish the SOPs, workflows, and validation practices the lab will run on for years. Build them so they're safe, efficient, and repeatable by the team that comes after you set them.

• Keep the lab inspection-ready at all times — validation, QC, maintenance, and corrective-action records complete and current.

• Transition the lab from setup mode into stable day-to-day operations, holding testing quality, turnaround times, and instrument reliability steady through the shift.

• Manage and develop the Laboratory Technologist team — through 1:1s, performance feedback, technical coaching, and the day-to-day mentorship that turns good lab techs into great ones.

• Serve as the on-site escalation point for any technical, operational, or quality issue affecting laboratory testing.
