VP Technology Transfer

At Myriad Genetics, we are translating scientific breakthroughs into life-changing diagnostics. The VP Technology Transfer will lead the newly established team responsible for turning Myriad's late-stage R&D innovations into validated, scalable, and compliant clinical products.

This role is ideal for a strategic operations leader who thrives at the intersection of science, process, and execution. You'll build a high-performing team, define the governance for design transfer, and ensure every new diagnostic reaches patients efficiently, reliably, and with scientific integrity.

1. Build and lead Myriad's first Technology Transfer organization, responsible for operationalizing new assays and platforms from late-stage R&D into production.
2. Define and implement transfer governance, documentation standards, and success metrics.
3. Lead cross-functional programs that align R&D, Quality, Regulatory, Operations, and Commercial on launch readiness.
4. Oversee design transfer, process validation, and workflow optimization for new products.
5. Ensure compliance with CLIA, CAP, FDA, and ISO design control requirements.
6. Develop a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and project leads (6-7 within 18 months).
7. Drive continuous improvement using Lean or Six Sigma principles to shorten transfer timelines.
8. Champion a culture that connects scientific rigor with patient impact.

1. Advanced degree (MS or PhD preferred) in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, or related discipline.
2. 10+ years of experience in molecular diagnostics, biotechnology, or clinical lab operations.
3. Proven leadership of technology transfer, assay validation, or regulated product design control.
4. Strong cross-functional leadership with R&D, Quality, Regulatory, and Operations.
5. Working knowledge of CLIA, CAP, and ISO13485 standards.
6. Experience scaling molecular assays or automation systems in a production environment.
7. Passion for building teams and turning innovation into operational reality.
