ABC Labs is looking for an exceptional Head of Collector Ops

We are innovating at the frontier of diagnostics by combining software, robotics, data science, medical consultation, lab automation, and operational excellence to create end-to-end products that span the entire spectrum of user needs - and become exponentially more efficient over time.
