Job description

The Asset Genius Strategic Program Lead is the single point of contact for oversight, accountability, and delivery of the Asset Genius program at a OneSource key account. Asset Genius is a OneSource technology that provides utilization insights for lab-based instruments that benefit the customer in multiple ways. These insights enable smarter capital investments, instrument fleet planning and operational decisions on service contract spend, which deliver significant impact to the customer’s Pharma R&D organization.

This role sits at the intersection of technical asset data and business decision-making, translating equipment utilization insights into action across instrument service contract renewals, capital planning, asset decommissioning, and overall fleet strategy. This is a client-facing role that partners closely with the client on both strategy and execution. Key to this role is matrix leadership, leading a cross-functional team and leading by influence at both the strategic and tactical level. The ideal candidate pairs a technical foundation (engineering, data-science or scientific background) with business acumen (MBA) to bridge the various functions which have a touchpoint with Asset Genius, such as R&D Lab Operations, Finance, Procurement, Capital Champions, and Instrument Management Owners.

This is an onsite position in Upper Providence, PA.
