Product Manager, Genomics Platform (11/2012-12/2013)Project Manager, Genome Sequencing Platform (08/2010-11/2012)Product Coordinator, Genome Sequencing Platform (02/2010-08/2010)Research Technician II, Biological Samples Platform (06/2006-02/2010)(Detailed Responsibilities are Listed Below)

 Managed the portfolio of Whole Genome Sequencing products. Ensured that the Platform- and customer-specific needs of each sequencing product and project were clearly identified; translated project goals into deliverables and monitored logistics such as master schedules, turnaround times and product quality.  Directed product planning and execution throughout the entire project lifecycle including prioritizing product and customer requirements. Partnered with cross-functional teams to ensure production and customer satisfaction goals were met, including directing reallocation of resources as needed. Cultivated client relationships and anticipated potential issues that could arise in the creation of client deliverables. Managed stakeholder expectations and communicated changes in cost-schedule-quality equilibrium as necessary. Leveraged data analysis and helped to conceptualize new workflows that maximized Broad Institute’s best-in-class technology and informatics solutions. Gathered and analyzed data, and developed reports for Platform reporting and collaborations using systems such as Tableau and JIRA. Concurrently managed products for high-profile domestic and international collaborations such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the 1000 Genomes Project, and the Illumina Genome Network. Drove solutions across cross-functional teams (R&D and informatics) to support and enhance products through scientific requirements and product contracts.

 Managed the entire project life cycle of DNA sequencing projects. Specified project requirements by conducting kick-off and planning meetings with primary investigators, external collaborators, and internal stakeholders. Executed project management activity for DNA sequencing projects using next-generation sequencing technologies. Identified all project needs and translated them into deliverables and ensured compliance with institutional safety and human subjects guidelines. Responded to requests from Principal Investigators and external collaborators, including providing special analyses and reports. Confirmed funding and monitored the financial status and progress of projects; mitigating all risks and managing changes in deliverables, timelines and budgets. Led and facilitated project kick-off meetings, planning sessions, and weekly meetings for large cross functional groups. Prioritized tasks, executed change management initiatives, established milestones and metrics, and determined resources.

 Assisted Project Manager with coordinating all aspects of projects, from receipt of sample material to DNA sequence data delivery; ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget. Executed tracking plans, monitored project metrics and produced reports.  Worked collaboratively with scientific and other cross-functional teams to establish project scope and define goals, tasks and resource requirements. Followed defined methodology, and resolved conflict within and between functional areas to ensure project completion.

 Tracked and processed biological samples in biorepository laboratory, incorporating standard laboratory instrumentation and molecular biology techniques for sample preparation, including nucleic acid isolations and quality control processes. Assisted with project management activities for viral sequencing and pathology projects. Served as the point person for sample workflow integration into the laboratory information management system. Managed junior research technicians, maintained training programs and documentation, and provided technical support as needed.
