Job Description
We’re supporting a global leader in chromatography and mass spectrometry who is expanding their Clinical Diagnostics business and hiring a Director-level clinical expert to shape the future of LC-MS/MS adoption in hospital laboratories.
This is a senior, high-impact role focused on ensuring LC-MS becomes a routine clinical diagnostics platform globally, not just a specialist tool used in niche settings.
The team is looking for someone with real credibility in clinical laboratories, ideally someone who has operated at Clinical Laboratory Director / Head of Laboratory / Department Lead level and understands how LC-MS is used day-to-day in diagnostic decision-making.
You will act as the clinical authority for LC-MS/MS diagnostics, working closely with cross-functional teams across R&D, Regulatory, Quality and Commercial to ensure clinical solutions are aligned to real-world hospital lab needs.
This is not a sales role and not a purely R&D position. It’s a strategic clinical leadership role with significant influence over clinical direction, portfolio decisions, and global adoption.
Key Responsibilities
* Provide senior clinical insight into LC-MS/MS workflows and diagnostic adoption challenges
* Engage with clinical labs, clinicians and stakeholders to understand unmet diagnostic needs
* Shape strategy across key clinical application areas (e.g. toxicology, TDM, endocrinology, newborn screening)
* Support internal teams with clinical requirements, validation considerations and real-world usability
* Partner cross-functionally to support regulatory and clinical evidence generation where needed
* Contribute to global adoption strategy and long-term clinical positioning
What They’re Looking For
* Strong LC-MS / LC-MS/MS experience within a clinical diagnostics environment
* Senior hospital / clinical lab leadership background (Director, Head of Lab, Service Lead, Department Lead)
* Experience operating in regulated diagnostic settings (ISO15189 / UKAS / CAP / CLIA or similar)
* Strong stakeholder management skills and ability to influence cross-functionally
* Comfortable operating at Director-level with global visibility
Location / Working Style
Hybrid, with 3 days on-site. Location options include UK, Ireland, or US depending on candidate location and fit.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a rare opportunity to join a technically world-class organisation and play a key role in shaping how LC-MS diagnostics is adopted globally, with real clinical and commercial impact.
If you have led clinical LC-MS environments and want to step into a global strategic leadership role, this is worth a conversation.
