About the Opportunity:

We’re looking for a LIMS Technical Consultant who can help lead the evolution of our Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS). This role will drive system upgrades, day-to-day support, and new enhancements to ensure our platforms are reliable, compliant, and delivering maximum business value.

You’ll play a key role in consolidating and optimizing multiple LIMS environments into a streamlined, efficient ecosystem. If you thrive in a hands-on technical role with meaningful impact — while collaborating closely with business and IT partners — we’d love to hear from you.

This position is available as a direct hire or a 6-month contract-to-hire engagement.

Hybrid schedule: on-site 3 or more days per week required.

What You’ll Do:

LIMS Lifecycle Management

Serve as a technical subject matter expert (SME) and trusted advisor for LIMS systems across the Americas.
Lead system lifecycle activities, including upgrades, migrations, and consolidations.
Partner closely with business process owners to design system architecture and execute system integrations and improvements.

Enhancements and Innovation

Lead implementation of new LIMS instances: requirements gathering, configuration, user acceptance testing (UAT), deployment, and hypercare.
Identify and drive opportunities for continuous system improvements and enhancements.
Support system upgrades, validations, and patch deployments within structured change control processes.
Help shape global governance and best practices for LIMS systems.

User Support and Compliance

Triage and resolve user support requests, escalating as needed to ensure rapid, high-quality resolution.
Maintain system documentation, SOPs, regression testing scripts, training materials, and compliance records.
Ensure strict adherence to regulatory standards and data integrity requirements.
Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and best practice recommendations to peers and business teams.

What You Bring:

6+ years of hands-on experience working with LIMS platforms (Thermo Fisher Sample Manager experience highly preferred).
Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
Strong understanding of manufacturing or laboratory environments (preferred but not required).
Proven experience leading system upgrades, enhancements, migrations, and validations in highly regulated settings.
Ability to partner effectively across IT and business teams to deliver high-impact technical solutions.
