Description

About Genesis Reference Laboratories

Genesis Reference Laboratories is a fast-growing, nationwide diagnostic lab specializing in molecular and toxicology testing.

We’ve scaled quickly because we do things differently—accuracy, accountability, and patient care come first, always. Our team partners closely with healthcare providers to deliver results they can trust and act on.

At Genesis, you’re not just another employee. You’re part of a team that:

• Holds a high standard for quality and integrity
• Moves fast, solves problems, and supports each other
• Is actively expanding across new markets and services

That means real opportunity for people who show up, do great work, and want to grow.

Not your average healthcare role.

If you’re someone who:

• Enjoys working directly with patients—not just behind a desk
• Thrives in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
• Takes pride in doing things the right way, not the easy way
• Can balance compassion with accountability

You’re exactly who we’re looking for.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Prepare and manage collection kits and supplies
• Transport specimens safely as part of our medical courier workflow
• Serve as a key liaison between Genesis and partner healthcare providers
• Support site operations and growth across assigned locations

What Your Day Looks Like

• Start your day prepared and organized
• Work directly with patients at assigned sites
• Manage collections, documentation, and logistics in real timeCommunicate with internal teams and partner staff
• Adapt quickly—because healthcare doesn’t run on a fixed script

Let’s Be Honest — This Role Isn’t for Everyone

This won’t be a fit if you:

• Need constant direction or supervision
• Struggle with time management or attention to detail
• Prefer repetitive, predictable workdays
• Are uncomfortable with direct patient interaction

You’ll Thrive Here If You:

• Are dependable and take ownership of your work
• Stay calm, professional, and solution-focused
• Can work independently while still being a strong team player
• Communicate clearly and confidently
• Take pride in accuracy and patient care

Why Genesis?

We’re not just growing—we’re building something meaningful.

• Competitive compensation
• 401k with 4% match (after 90 days)
• On-demand pay + bi-weekly pay
• A team that values accountability, growth, and doing things right

Bottom Line

This role is for someone who wants to be trusted, relied on, and impactful—not just another employee.

You’re not just collecting samples. You’re helping move patient care forward—every single day.
