Precision Medicine Director, Central

Are you passionate about precision medicine and advancing healthcare? 

With the advent of genomic sequencing, we now have more data than ever before to decode and understand our genetic makeup. However, healthcare providers often lack the infrastructure and expertise to fully leverage this wealth of genomic data. At Tempus, we're on a mission to connect the entire ecosystem and redefine how genomic data is used in clinical settings.

We are looking for an experienced Precision Medicine Director to join our rapidly growing U.S. Sales Team. In this role, you will be instrumental in driving the adoption of Tempus’s cutting-edge genomic technologies, offering strategic business solutions to hospitals and laboratories, and leading efforts to transform how providers use genomic data in oncology and beyond.
