Our mission is to detect cancer early, when it can be cured. We are working to change the trajectory of cancer mortality and bring stakeholders together to adopt innovative, safe, and effective technologies that can transform cancer care.
We are a healthcare company, pioneering new technologies to advance early cancer detection. We have built a multi-disciplinary organization of scientists, engineers, and physicians and we are using the power of next-generation sequencing (NGS), population-scale clinical studies, and state-of-the-art computer science and data science to overcome one of medicine’s greatest challenges.
GRAIL is headquartered in the bay area of California, with locations in Washington, D.C., North Carolina, and the United Kingdom. It is supported by leading global investors and pharmaceutical, technology, and healthcare companies.
This is a customer-focused position that requires a “market builder” mindset. A successful GGC1 acts with urgency and passion to engage physicians and their staff to think differently about cancer screening and change the way they practice, integrating MCED technology into their office workflow, and consistently offering it to appropriate patients with the goal to identify more cancers sooner.
GRAIL is the first company in the world to bring MCED technology to patients and clinicians - this is a rare opportunity in one's career!
The GGC1 role is an in-person selling role, with the expectation that candidates spend the majority of their time (>85%) making in-person visits to targeted physician practices, planning and supporting events, and executing on Company initiatives.
This is a field-based role located in your city and state, currently covering the following territory: Central Illinois / Iowa and surrounding areas.
