About our Company:
Universal D****X, Inc. is an international Company with a highly experienced team focused on cracking cancer’s code. Through our multi-omics and bioinformatics models, we have figured out how to read the disease’s signals in blood with high accuracy to detect cancer in its earliest stages. Starting with a colorectal cancer screening liquid biopsy test, we are building a multi-cancer platform that can identify the unique DNA regions associated with different types of cancers.
The Opportunity:
Universal DX is seeking a highly experienced program manager to join our growing Program Management team. Reporting to the Director, Program Management, this role will partner closely with Assay Development, Reagent Development, and Pre-Analytical Development to translate scientific and product strategy into executable plans. The role will serve as the primary program-management bridge between wet-lab Product Development and Automation, Software Development, Quality, Regulatory, Lab Operations, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and other cross-functional partners supporting development and commercialization of Universal DX IVD products.
You will be part of a team that is passionate about developing novel diagnostic tests for the early detection of cancers. As part of the team, you will be in a Company that aims more than to become one of the leaders in the industry. We want to have a huge positive impact on society by achieving the ambitious purpose of “making cancer a curable disease by detecting it earlier”.
How you'll contribute:
- Lead integrated planning and support execution for assay, reagent, and pre-analytical development workstreams across the IVD product lifecycle.
- Partner with scientific and functional leads to define scope, deliverables, success criteria, resources, budgets, timelines, and decision points.
- Connect wet-lab plans with automation and software development, ensuring requirements, interfaces, dependencies, and verification activities remain aligned.
- Coordinate with Quality, Regulatory, Lab Operations, Clinical, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain so design-control and operational deliverables are incorporated into the program plan.
- Proactively identify planning gaps, technical and execution risks, and change impacts; develop options and mitigation plans and escalate with clear recommendations.
- Facilitate cross-functional working sessions and workstream meetings; document decisions, actions, owners, and due dates and drive timely closure.
- Maintain integrated schedules, dashboards, and executive-ready reporting, while mentoring PM colleagues and strengthening consistent planning practices across Product Development.
