Do Meaningful Work With People Who Care
At Phytest, we solve complex challenges across healthcare, diagnostics, and operations in an environment where expertise is respected, collaboration matters, and your work makes a visible impact.
What Drives Us
Laboratory services shape diagnosis, treatment, and patient confidence—often more than any other part of the care journey. When labs are reliable, timely, and thoughtfully integrated into care, clinicians can act with clarity. When they aren’t, patient care weakens.
Our work is about building lab services that elevate care, not complicate it. We bring rigor, coordination, and scale to diagnostics so results are trusted, workflows are seamless, and care teams can focus on patients—not workarounds.
For our team, the impact is real. The systems we build influence how quickly care moves, how confidently decisions are made, and how patients experience the healthcare system. Every role at Phytest plays a part in improving care by supporting the decisions that matter most to patients and clinicians.
Where Trust and Care Lead
At Phytest, our culture is shaped by how we show up for one another every day.
We are a close-knit team by design. That allows us to move thoughtfully, build real relationships, and give people meaningful ownership over their work. We trust our colleagues to use good judgment, communicate openly, and take pride in what they do.
Flexibility and autonomy are part of that trust. We understand that great work doesn’t happen on a rigid schedule or in one fixed way. People here have the space to structure their work in a way that fits their lives—while staying accountable to their teammates and the mission we share.
What ties it all together is a shared sense of care: for the quality of our work, for the people we serve, and for one another. It’s a culture where expectations are clear, support is real, and people are treated like the thoughtful professionals they are.
Support That Reflects Real Life
Our benefits are designed to support people as whole humans, not just employees.
- Competitive compensation
- Health, dental, and vision coverage
- Paid time off that people are encouraged to use
- Flexible work arrangements
- A collaborative, respectful team environment

Senior Laboratory Manager | Atlanta | On-site
Atlanta, GA | Full-time
At Phytest, we exist to help physician groups create exceptional laboratories—labs that elevate patient care, perform reliably at scale, and define what world-class laboratory services look like in modern healthcare. Every system we build is designed to be precise, compliant, and seamlessly integrated into the clinical environment.
We’re launching a new high-complexity molecular genetics laboratory within a large physician office laboratory in Atlanta, and we’re looking for a Senior Laboratory Manager to lead it from the ground up.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows how to run a molecular and genetic lab end to end—people, processes, quality systems, instruments, and growth.

- Plan daily and long-term workload, resolve technical and procedural issues, and ensure smooth lab flow.
- Step in at the bench when needed and model best practices for the team.
Quality, compliance & accreditation
- Build, maintain, and continuously improve the laboratory quality management system.
- Ensure testing meets analytical performance standards and results are accurate and timely.
- Lead QA/QC programs across pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic phases.

- Review, write, and update SOPs and laboratory forms in alignment with policy and regulatory standards.
- Research, validate, and implement new assays, technologies, and instrumentation as clinical needs evolve.

Systems, data & reporting
- Use the LIS to design efficient workflows and reporting that support sample processing and quality oversight.
- Track and report operational, quality, and performance metrics for laboratory leadership.
- Manage inventory and vendor relationships to ensure uninterrupted testing operations.
Collaboration & expertise
- Partner closely with the Laboratory Director, clinicians, and executive leadership.
- Serve as a subject matter expert in molecular genetics and testing operations.
- Communicate clearly and professionally with internal teams and external partners.
- Champion the mission and clinical goals of the organization with laboratory staff.
You may be a great fit if you have
- BS in Science or a related field
- MLS or MB certification (ASCP)

- Maintain integrations with Active Directory, including users, groups, roles, permissions, and secure access policies.
- Operational ownership, vendors, and delivery:
- Own day-to-day operations and incident response as the primary technical escalation—coordinate fixes with internal teams and vendors, drive root-cause and corrective actions, and hold SLAs so systems stay interoperable.
- Lead client delivery from discovery through go-live—environment setup, configuration, mapping/rules, cutover, and hypercare—while maintaining workflow logic, rule engines, and automation (Atlas and related tools) so processes remain accurate and repeatable.
- Represent Phytest as the external technical point of contact with EMRs, clearinghouses, statement vendors, payment processors, and lab partners; evaluate new solutions, pilot them, and own integrations when adopted.
