Business Development Representative (BDR) - Promotion Path Sales Role

At CancerIQ, our technology is expanding access to precision cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment for more patient populations. We build software and design services that make it easy for health systems to use genetic and risk information to get ahead of cancer at scale. Our best-in-class, science-based platform is proven to double genetic counseling capacity, quadruple genetic testing uptake, and significantly improve screening compliance.

Our team is driven by a shared mission to help healthcare providers identify patients earlier, improve outcomes, and ultimately change the future of cancer prevention. This has led to a growing network of over 200 clinical locations across the country, with a robust ecosystem of partners in the diagnostic and genomics space behind us. But we’re committed to scaling quickly – in this era of tremendous progress against cancer, we’re looking for people to be just as tremendously committed to their work at CancerIQ. If you want your work to matter, join us.
