Job DescriptionCompany Description Leap Consulting Group supports clinical diagnostics and clinical research organizations through a full range of services supporting the end-to-end digital and technology needs of the lab, from the digital front door to the pre-analytical lab bench process (LIMS, instrumentation, automation, etc.), and all of the complex processes for report writing, revenue cycle, and patient engagement before and after testing. Leap provides turnkey services starting with strategic planning through full implementation and everything in between for CLIA, CAP, NYS CLEP, and FDA-compliant laboratories. Leap’s lab practice is led and staffed by veteran laboratory leaders from high-volume, high-complexity laboratories across the United States. In addition to lab-centric capabilities, Leap offers full capabilities across digital, cloud, and the rest of the IT ecosystems. Job Description We’re looking for experienced laboratory professionals — former bench technologists, R&D scientists, or lab operations specialists — who are excited to apply their laboratory expertise to be client-facing and working directly on client lab projects building the latest and greatest in clinical laboratory workflows and laboratory software system implementations. This is a hands-on, problem-solving role — you’ll work alongside scientists, engineers, and clinicians to make lab systems work better, not sell software or convince people why they need to do better - everyone is working together to make it better. This role is not a generic IT business analyst position — it’s designed for individuals with deep understanding of how labs actually function, from sample accessioning to reporting. If you have great IT analyst skills we need those too, but we are currently not hiring for those. Please do not apply here if you are not deeply experienced in clinical laboratory and/or LIMS. This is a role reporting into our Healthcare Practice Lead focused on supporting several laboratory initiatives including digital-front-doors, preanalytical systems, LIMS, lab automation, bioinformatics, revenue cycle, and other related needs. The role requires Laboratory Operations and/or Laboratory IT awareness, a background in digital transformation or information systems, and ideally exposure to clinical laboratory revenue cycle. The person in this role would be a smart, inquisitive, experienced clinical laboratory or health system technology business analyst or functional technical analyst. From Buy vs. Build Analysis, to System Sourcing projects, to big picture planning, and down to the real roll-up-your-sleeves implementation requirements gathering, technical design, and partnering with your software engineering peers to deliver solutions. In this position, you will work closely with Leap client’s business, clinical, and technology leaders to understand their needs, design and develop innovative solutions, and tackle complex challenges. The people in this role will help clients articulate their requirements, prioritize their needs, develop detailed specifications, and at times will lead implementations in Agile methodologies often supporting a mixed team of both Leap provided and client employee engineering resources. The ideal candidate will be well spoken, extremely organized, and able to succinctly capture every detail. You should also be able to ask questions to clients to ensure there are no gaps in the analysis conducted and be an effective communicator when there have been changes in the requirements. As is the nature of digital transformation consulting, the right people for this role find themselves adaptable and flexible in an environment where change is the only constant. The ideal candidate finds clarity in ambiguity and shifts priorities quickly as new client considerations, challenges, and opportunities arise. You should excel in managing projects, driving product development, and analyzing business needs, all while thriving in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.
