  • TAT impact
  • Pathologist experience and feedback
  • Identification of improvement opportunities
• Stay up to date with digital pathology and AI innovations, recommend and evaluate new solutions for potential pilots.

User Support, Site Coordination & Continuous Improvement

• Collect user feedback from all sites and convert insights into improvement actions.
• Coordinate with on‑site technical scanning staff to ensure high‑quality routine operations.
• Oversee periodic system evaluations (scanner checks, screen calibration, digital validation) and validate new users entering the digital workflow.

Regulatory & Compliance Monitoring

• Track evolving legal and regulatory requirements related to digital pathology, LDTs, and AI technologies (e.g., reimbursement frameworks, IVDR developments).
• Ensure compliance and prepare the organization for future regulatory changes affecting digital workflows.

Your Profile

Must‑have

• Strong background in digital pathology ideally within a pathology laboratory setting.
• An understanding of quality management, accreditation standards, and the unique requirements of digital systems in pathology.
• Experience working with IMS, LIS, slide scanners, or AI tools is a significant advantage.
