You will oversee daily operations across four testing disciplines within our Hematology department, including Hematology, Urinalysis, Coagulation, Hemoglobin A1c testing.
Key supervisory responsibilities include:
Supervising day-to-day laboratory operations across hematology, urinalysis, coagulation, and HbA1c testing, ensuring accurate and timely processing of clinical trial specimens
Managing, mentoring, and developing laboratory staff, including training on instrumentation, SOPs, and quality standards
Maintaining compliance with CLIA, CAP, NYS, and sponsor-specific requirements across all testing areas
Overseeing quality control performance, instrument maintenance schedules, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting on Sysmex, Novus, Stago, and Trinity Biotech platforms
Reviewing and approving QC data, ensuring out-of-control events are properly investigated and documented
Collaborating with cross-functional teams to resolve specimen-related issues and support clinical trial deliverables
Contributing to SOP authorship, review cycles, and appendix maintenance for supervised testing areas
You are not reporting results to physicians for immediate clinical decisions - you are generating high-integrity data that feeds into clinical trial databases and regulatory submissions
Instead of collaborating with nurses, residents, and caregivers, your cross-functional partners include program managers, Global QC, Specimen Management, Harmonization, Data Integrity, and Scientific Affairs teams
Specimens arrive from clinical trial sites around the world with strict chain-of-custody and protocol-specific handling requirements - traceability and documentation are paramount
You will work within a globally harmonized laboratory network, aligning your section's operations with ICON's labs in Dublin, Singapore, and Beijing
Career growth extends beyond the laboratory - paths into global QC, validations, scientific affairs, and other senior roles are accessible from this position.

Additional Information
Hematology Supervisor, Laboratory- Farmingdale NY
ICON is a global healthcare intelligence and clinical research organisation united by a mission to bring new medicines and treatments to patients faster.
As a values-driven organisation, integrity, collaboration, agility, and inclusion are at the heart of how we work and interact with each other, customers, patients and suppliers.
ICON plc is a Contract Research Organization (CRO) - a company that provides outsourced clinical laboratory, research, and regulatory services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies running clinical trials. Unlike a hospital laboratory, our work is not focused on diagnosing or treating individual patients. Instead, we are the analytical backbone of global drug development: every specimen we process, every result we report, and every QC decision we make contributes directly to the safety monitoring of clinical trial subjects, as well as the pharmacokinetic, biomarker, and efficacy data that will one day reach regulatory agencies like the FDA.
We are seeking an experienced laboratory supervisor to lead our Hematology section in Farmingdale, NY - a high-volume, multi-disciplinary department encompassing automated hematology, urinalysis, coagulation, and hemoglobin A1c testing. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone with deep technical proficiency across hematology, urinalysis, coagulation, and HbA1c testing - and the maturity to lead, develop, and the ability to lead and bring out the best in a team.
