Senior Product Manager

Description

The Company

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

To date, CancerIQ has raised over $26 million to deliver on our mission, with our Series B funding round led by Merck Global Health Innovation Fund and Amgen Ventures.

Our team is made up of a committed, all-in group of people who are as driven to ending cancer as we know it as the providers and patients we serve. 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.

Role Summary

CancerIQ is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the product roadmap for the CancerIQ platform, the full set of workflows that power hereditary cancer risk assessment, genetic testing, and screening compliance for our health-system customers. This role sits at the intersection of clinical oncology, health-system operations, and software product development, translating a deep understanding of cancer risk assessment and genetic counseling workflows into product decisions that improve patient outcomes and drive measurable value for our 60+ enterprise customers.

You will work closely with Engineering, Customer Success, and Sales to define priorities, ship high-quality features, and ensure our platform continues to lead the market in precision cancer prevention. This is a highly cross-functional, highly visible role for someone who wants to build product that directly changes how cancer is caught earlier.
