Job Description

Genetic Counselor / Variant Scientist at Sensiva Health

About Sensiva Health

Sensiva Health is a leading innovator in next-generation sequencing (NGS) and precision diagnostics, headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. We specialize in advanced genetic testing solutions for cancer and other complex diseases, empowering healthcare providers with actionable insights to improve patient outcomes. Our mission is to make cutting-edge genetics accessible, compliant, and patient-centered. Join a dynamic team that's at the forefront of transforming healthcare through technology and science.

Position Overview

Are you a skilled professional with expertise in genetic counseling and variant interpretation? Sensiva Health is expanding our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetics program. We're seeking a Genetic Counselor who can also serve as a Variant Scientist to support our innovative diagnostics in areas like cancer genomics, rare diseases, and more. With our in-house laboratory expertise and commitment to precision medicine, this role offers a chance to make a meaningful impact on patient care.

This hybrid position (mostly remote) is based in Saint Rose, Louisiana (near New Orleans Airport), allowing flexibility while collaborating with our team on cutting-edge genetic testing.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist the Lab Director and Head Geneticist with research, variant interpretation, and analysis for a variety of NGS tests, applying ACMG guidelines and best practices.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for physicians, providing expert guidance on genetic variant interpretation and counseling requests.
  • No patient counseling. You will interface directly and only with physicians
  • Collaborate on test result reviews, ensuring accurate and clinically relevant reporting.
  • Contribute to quality assurance, compliance with CLIA / COLA / CAP standards, and ongoing program improvements.
  • Support educational initiatives for healthcare providers on genetic testing outcomes.

Qualifications

  • Master's degree in Genetic Counseling, Genetics, Genomics, or a related field required.
  • Board certification as a Certified Genetic Counselor (CGC) by the American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC) strongly preferred but not required; familiarity with ABMGG certifications or ACMG variant classification guidelines is a plus.
  • Experience in variant interpretation for NGS-based tests, ideally in clinical or laboratory settings.
  • Strong communication skills for physician consultations and patient-focused counseling.
  • Knowledge of regulatory compliance in genetic diagnostics.

    • Location & Work Arrangement

  • Mostly remote, with occasional on-site presence in Saint Rose, Louisiana (conveniently located near New Orleans Airport).
  • Flexibility for virtual collaboration across our US operations.

    • Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary range : $60,000 - $100,000, based on experience and qualifications.
  • Comprehensive benefits including health insurance, paid time off, and opportunities for professional growth in a dynamic environment.

    • If you're passionate about bridging genetic science and clinical care, we'd love to hear from you! Let's advance healthcare together.

    Sensiva Health is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
