Epic Beaker/Data Innovations
Full-Time, Days
MarinHealth is seeking an experienced Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) Analyst to support and optimize clinical laboratory technology systems that directly impact patient care and operational efficiency.
This role is for experienced LIS professionals — not a bench technologist role and not a general IT analyst role.
This role partners closely with laboratory leadership, IT, and clinical teams to configure, maintain, troubleshoot, and enhance LIS platforms across MarinHealth’s healthcare system. The ideal candidate brings a strong blend of clinical lab workflow knowledge, healthcare IT experience, and system optimization expertise.
Important: This is an onsite position based in Greenbrae, CA. Remote work is not available for this role.
