HistoWiz is the largest online histopathology company based in New York City. Our mission is to help biomedical researchers find cures by accelerating histopathology and enabling global collaboration. We are looking for a Customer Success Associate interested in joining us in our mission and making an impact in the scientific community.

We are seasoned scientists with experience at leading academic institutions and have published high-impact research in top journals of biomedicine.

HistoWiz has over 1,000 paying customers globally from top academic institutions (e.g. MSKCC, Harvard, Stanford, HHMI) and pharmaceutical companies (e.g. CRISPR, Johnson & Johnson, Regeneron). We process tissue specimens and digitize all of the results, hosting our client’s data on a proprietary platform, PathologyMapTM. This platform not only enables industry-leading turnaround time for diagnosis, but also online viewing, sharing, and search. No other platform like this exists, so we are truly building something new that can bridge scientists, doctors, and patients from all over the world to conquer life-threatening diseases collaboratively instead of individually. This online platform also contains the world’s largest collection of pathology data and the first network of top pathologists.

If this all interests you and you're looking to join a dynamic team in a role that will involve intensive problem-solving and strong interpersonal and customer service skills, then please apply!
