Lara McClure
@laramcclure
Senior Project Manager driving healthcare lab scale-ups, process automation, and operational excellence.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Senior Project Manager with over eight years leading cross-functional teams to deliver complex healthcare and laboratory projects on time and within budget. I specialize in scaling operations, implementing systems, and aligning stakeholders to meet aggressive growth targets.
At Patient’s Choice Lab I led programs that grew revenue sixfold and implemented two laboratory information systems company-wide, reducing manual work by over 60% and improving accuracy through targeted training and change management.
Earlier roles include launching a new laboratory—establishing SOPs, go-live readiness, and staffing—and performing high-complexity molecular testing across multiple analyzer platforms while supporting clinical trials and high-volume assays.
I focus on process improvement, KPI-driven decision making, and delivering measurable efficiency gains—reducing billing effort by 45%, cutting cycle times 40%, and improving turnaround and inventory visibility during expansion.
