Tempus develops new AI-powered diagnostic tests that advance clinical care and research across different diseases, starting with cancer.

We're looking for an experienced, high performing individual to be the Product Launch Manager for our commercial offerings. The Product Launch Manager will help define our product launch readiness strategy and will collaborate “hands on” with different functional groups (e.g., Research, Marketing, Sales, Technology, Lab Operations) to ensure commercial readiness of all our products. The Product Launch Manager will also analyze results of product launches to continuously improve future offerings. Finally, the Product Launch Manager will establish the repeatable playbook for doing commercial product launch at Tempus, and scale the playbook as the pace of innovation continues to accelerate.

The role requires the candidate to have excellent communication and organizational skills. Since successful execution requires exposure across multiple facets of the organization – with high visibility interaction with sales, marketing, science, product, and lab groups specifically – the role is a prelude to broader leadership opportunities at Tempus.

The ideal candidate will have previously led product operations or project management at a healthcare technology company. This role will report into the commercial operations team.

• Assist Marketing and Sales on go-to-market plan
