General Manager - Medical Diagnostics

About the role

Our client, a privately held medical diagnostics company, is entering an exciting new chapter and looking for a General Manager to take the reins of the business.

This is a phenomenal opportunity to step into a key leadership role with meaningful responsibility and autonomy in running an established, profitable company while helping shape its next chapter.
