  • Partner with biopharma stakeholders to align companion diagnostic development with drug programs, biomarker-driven trials, and precision-medicine objectives.
  • Engage oncologists, NPs, practice managers, and IDNs to understand therapy selection use cases; partner with Market Access and Medical Affairs on the evidence and reimbursement strategy.
  • Monitor the competitive liquid biopsy and CDx landscape and shape Guardant's product differentiation strategy.
  • Contribute to scientific communications and publications supporting the products' value proposition across tumor types.
  • Set clear people leadership expectations for the team, including coaching, performance accountability, prioritization, and development of talent to support business objectives.

Qualifications

  • Typically requires: ~15 yrs with a Bachelor's; 12 with a Master's; 8 with a PhD; or 5 with a PharmD/MD within life sciences, bioengineering, molecular biology.
  • Strong clinical science grounding and knowledge of clinical practice in oncology and biomarker-driven therapy selection is required.
  • Deep understanding of liquid biopsy and molecular diagnostics; familiarity with NGS assays and Guardant360 or comparable products is required.
  • Strong strategic thinking, execution of rigor, and cross-functional leadership is required.
  • Previous people leadership experience, including direct management of team members, coaching, performance management, and talent development is required.
  • 8+ years, including end-to-end product leadership is preferred.
  • Working knowledge of diagnostic assay workflows and regulated-lab environments (CLIA, CAP, IVD, FDA); familiarity with companion diagnostic (CDx) development and submissions is preferred.
  • Prior knowledge of the competitive/reimbursement landscape is preferred.
