Do you bring hands-on leadership experience in production operations, with the judgement to balance daily delivery, people management, and continuous improvement?

If this sounds like you and you are driven by purpose, join the SOPHiA GENETICS Production team as a Manager, Production and enable us to make a positive impact on the outcomes for cancer and rare disease patients worldwide.

• Lead projects autonomously, proactively moving them forward while keeping day-to-day production under control.
• Partner cross-functionally with Quality, QC, project teams, and customers when production issues arise, such as mix-ups or other operational concerns.

• Direct working experience in a production or warehouse capacity for a similar healthcare, lifescience, diagnostic or medical device environemt, producing or assembling products in a highly regulated environment.
• Experience leading people who need to be on site every day, including planning coverage, solving resource constraints, and keeping operations moving.
