Full description
Abbott is a global healthcare leader that helps people live more fully at all stages of life. Our portfolio of life-changing technologies spans the spectrum of healthcare, with leading businesses and products in diagnostics, medical devices, nutritionals and branded generic medicines. Our 115,000 colleagues serve people in more than 160 countries.
JOB DESCRIPTION:Position Overview
At Abbott Cancer Diagnostics, we're cancer fighters. That's not a tagline, it's the reason we come to work every day. Our mission is to change lives through advances in cancer detection and treatment guidance, and ultimately to help eradicate the disease and the suffering it causes. Everything we build, including the software you'd be leading, exists to move that mission forward.
We're looking for a Senior Manager of Software Engineering to lead the team behind PatientHub and Consumer Initiated Orders, two of the products patients rely on most when they interact with us directly. These are internet-facing, high-traffic, content-rich portals, and we're looking for a leader who's as invested in growing this team as they are in growing the product.
This is a people-leadership role first and foremost. You'll report directly to the Senior Director of Software Engineering, and you'll have real room to shape how this team works, grows, and takes on hard problems together.
Staying technical matters here too. While this is a leadership role, we want someone with strong architectural instincts who stays close enough to the code to jump into design discussions and code reviews with the team, not just to observe, but to genuinely contribute.
We'd love to hear from you if you're a proven engineering leader who has led teams of 30 or more and operated as a manager of managers, and who genuinely enjoys working shoulder-to-shoulder with Product, QE, and UX as a normal part of the week rather than an exception. We're looking for someone who cares deeply about the growth of the people on their team, who leads with data and solid engineering fundamentals, and who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves when it matters.
Essential Duties
include but are not limited to the following:
- Raise capabilities in the engineering team; including, but not limited to, developing coding, testing, and deployment protocols and best practices.
- Maintain strong relationships and transparency with key stakeholders (Lab, Sales, Support, Customers, and Affiliates).
- Partner with business and technology teams to prioritize roadmaps, requirements, balance business need with capacity, and technology constraints.
- Influence senior engineering and business leaders to drive increased capability though engineering processes and technologies.
- Work with business stakeholders and engineering teams to design innovative solutions to complex challenges faced by the Company.
