About the role

  • Commission the first wave of labs in priority US markets, on time and regulatory-compliant (Impact, not activity)
  • Hand off each commissioned lab cleanly to the local clinic team with documented operating procedures
  • Establish equipment and vendor standards

Responsibilities

  • Stand up a repeatable lab commissioning playbook covering technical build, equipment installation, and regulatory sign-off
  • Build and manage relationships with key cross-functional stakeholders, balancing Pan and Peter's priorities without formal authority over them (Tech-enabled, human-centred)

Requirements

  • Working knowledge of regulatory compliance requirements for diagnostic or clinical lab environments
  • Proven stakeholder management without direct authority, including managing competing priorities

Nice to have

  • Direct experience with Abbott or equivalent diagnostic lab equipment installation
  • About titles at Neko

  • Job Title: Lab Launch Manager, US

  • Reporting to Head of Operations, the Lab Launch Manager operates with high autonomy in ambiguity (Chase 10X, not 10%).
  • No direct reports initially; as the launch cadence grows, this role is expected to build a team underneath it.
