- Coordinate with internal teams to ensure efficient and high-quality project execution
- Maintain proactive communication with clients, including updates, troubleshooting, and expectation management
- Oversee post-project support, including data/image access and technical documentation
- Ensure a high level of client satisfaction and follow up for feedback
- Support GLP studies by coordinating with QA and internal teams
- Contribute to internal R&D and development of new histology and imaging capabilities
Who This Role Is For
This role is best suited for someone who:
- Has a strong background in histology, pathology, or related life sciences
- Is comfortable communicating directly with scientific clients
- Enjoys solving problems and figuring out how to execute experiments effectively
- Takes ownership and can independently drive projects forward
