Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States Karius Full time
About Karius

Karius is a venture-backed life science startup that is transforming the way pathogens and other microbes are observed throughout the body.

By unlocking the information present in microbial cell-free DNA, we're helping doctors quickly solve their most challenging cases, providing industry partners with access to 1000's of biomarkers to accelerate clinical trials, discovering new microbes, and reducing patient suffering worldwide.

Position Summary

We are looking for an outstanding Medical Science Liaison (MSL) to join us as we expand our field footprint and support the commercial team in achieving sales goals, thereby enabling our customers to fully utilize the clinical potential of the Karius cell-free microbial DNA infectious disease diagnostic test.

This will involve working directly with the clinical sales managers to develop pre and post-sale strategies to bolster sales with new and existing customers.

The MSL educates clinicians, nursing, pharmacy staff and other clinical support staff on the benefits and clinical utility of our products.

You will assist facilities in developing best practices and protocols to maximize our products' utility; form relationships with clinicians to develop clinical champions and future key opinion leaders and provide education to the sales force.

You will garner best practices and protocols from customers, assist with implementing our products in their facilities, and support the development of clinician focused marketing tools and education programs.

Why Should You Join Us?
Karius aims to conquer infectious diseases through innovations around genomic sequencing and machine learning.

The company's platform is already delivering unprecedented insights into the microbial landscape, providing clinicians with a comprehensive test capable of identifying more than a thousand pathogens directly from blood, and helping industry accelerate the development of therapeutic solutions.

The Karius test we provide today is one of the most advanced solutions available to physicians who aim to deliver better care to many otherwise ineffectively treated patients.

Our test is the result of some incredible work done by our scientists, statisticians, engineers, and physicians, all driven by the same mission.

You, as part of the Karius team, will be able to see how directly your work has a life-changing impact on people, and at scale.
