Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

  1.

  5. In coordination with Biopharma leadership, you will develop a strategy to expand existing transactional business to more fully integrated partnerships across Guardant’s suite of capabilities.
  6. You will partner closely with Guardant’s commercial team to leverage synergies between the clinical and biopharma business segments and articulately communicate Guardant’s complete value proposition to biopharma partners.

  4. You have knowledge of precision medicine and the clinical diagnostics market, including regulatory and reimbursement landscape.
  5. You are independent and self-starting, and will pro-actively chase leads and opportunities, but also work with the team to build and support processes and bring the best of the company to a customer.
  6. You can build and service multiple opportunities simultaneously, balancing emerging relationships with ongoing ones, addressing needs on time.
  7. You are able to qualify customers’ needs and motivations and can successfully influence them. You have strong contracting and presentation skills, are good at problem solving, and have a good analytic skillset.
  8. You are motivated to grow the business, not just your patch, and see the broader team succeed. You are able to prioritize and focus on the important, not just the urgent.
