Medical Director US (Part-Time, Contract Position)

Other Jobs To Apply

Diagnexia is building a differentiated, remote, AI-empowered digital pathology service in the US, and we're looking for a Medical Director to lead it from the ground up. This is a genuine opportunity to shape a novel model of pathology practice — not step into a fixed, pre-built role.


You'll serve as our named Laboratory Director across US operations, working closely with Diagnexia's senior clinical leadership, including our CMO, to build a service that puts technology at the centre of better patient care. If you want meaningful clinical and regulatory leadership, direct client engagement, and the chance to genuinely build something — without giving up your existing practice — this role is designed for exactly that.



The role

  • Independent contractor position approximately 10 hours per week on average, with natural week-to-week variation (occasional heavier weeks around inspections or major projects, lighter weeks otherwise). A minimum commitment of 8 hours per week and up to 25 hours per week by agreement.
  • Remote-based, with a working base at or near Naperville, IL to meet on-site presence requirements (1 day per week), plus periodic travel for compliance visits.



Why this role

  • Build a service from the ground up and put your own stamp on it, this isn't a maintenance role, it's a founding one.
  • Work with state-of-the-art digital pathology and AI tools as part of a genuinely novel operating model.
  • Direct engagement with clients and with Diagnexia's wider clinical leadership as much or as little day-to-day contact as suits you, though we value close collaboration.
  • Room to grow: as the US business scales, there's a credible path for this role to expand.
  • Flexible, self-directed hours that work alongside an existing practice, ideal for someone in private practice with the capacity to take this on.



What you'll do

  • Serve as the named Laboratory Director of record on our CLIA certificates, CAP accreditation, and state laboratory permits.
  • Own quality oversight: QC/QA programs, proficiency testing, competency assessments, and validation of new test methods.
  • Perform peer review of Diagnexia US pathologists' cases (target: 2–3% of cases undergo internal quality assessment).
  • Provide remote clinical consultation to our US pathology team, including availability for urgent clinical queries during agreed business hours.
  • Maintain a working base at or near our Naperville, IL laboratory to meet on-site presence requirements, with periodic travel to satisfy Pennsylvania and other state requirements.
  • Build genuine working knowledge of the Diagnexia platform, tools, and processes.
  • Engage with clients and prospective partners, and work closely with Diagnexia's broader clinical and executive leadership, including regular engagement with the CMO.
  • Represent Diagnexia at pathology conferences and company events, with occasional travel to Ireland and the UK to connect with our wider clinical teams (reasonable expenses reimbursed).
  • Participate in laboratory permit applications, state inspections, and accreditation activity as Diagnexia expands into new jurisdictions.



What you'll need

  • Active, unrestricted medical licensure in Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania (or eligibility to obtain promptly)
  • New York State CLEP Certificate of Qualification (CQ), or eligibility to obtain one
  • Experience as a CLIA/CAP Laboratory Director (multi-state experience a strong plus)
  • Comfort with a remote-first, technology-driven digital pathology model
  • Willingness to travel for periodic on-site compliance visits
  • Professional liability (malpractice) insurance at the minimum coverage level specified in the agreement
  • Willingness to bear the cost of obtaining and maintaining all required licences and credentials (except Company-approved reimbursable fees)
  • Comfort maintaining confidentiality of patient information and proprietary business information in accordance with HIPAA and applicable law
  • Nice to have: cytology competency and willingness to perform on-site microscopic review of specimens that cannot be read digitally (e.g. GYN cytology, FNAs, body fluids)
