Build something bigger than your career

Are you an experienced clinical biomarker professional who can bridge science and commercial strategy? Do you enjoy working cross-functionally—engaging directly with oncologists, pathologists, and internal stakeholders—to translate real-world clinical needs into revenue-generating partnerships?

If this sounds like you and you are driven by purpose, join the SOPHiA GENETICS BioPharma Solutions team as our Clinical Biomarker Expert, and enable us to make a positive impact on the outcomes for cancer and rare disease patients worldwide.

This is a field based role, within UK/EU5. You will spend your time working from home-office, or travelling for customer meetings, conference & events (20-25%). Proximity to one of our corporate offices in France (Bidart) or Switzerland (Rolle) is valuable, but not a requirment.

In most instances, we look for individuals already living in-territory, but welcome those actively relocating to the area.

Our mission

We believe there is a smarter, more data-driven way to make decisions in healthcare and our cloud-native AI powered SOPHiA DDM Platform makes that vision a reality on a daily basis. You will have direct input to our mission to democratize data-driven medicine for the ultimate benefit of cancer and rare disease patients across the globe. 

Through a decentralized global network and patented algorithms, we give the BioPharma community access to high quality NGS solutions, Biomarker Discovery, Clinical Trial Assays and CDx leveraging the SOPHiA DDM™ platform, including the ctDNA-based LBx solution MSK ACCESS® powered with SOPHiA DDM™.

This role sits as part of our BioPharma Diagnostics Team. Learn more about SOPHiA DDM™ BioPharma Solutions here.

Your mission

Reporting to the Director, Head of CDx BioPharma Programmes, you will serve as a key scientific and clinical-facing partner within our biopharma ecosystem—helping connect our clinical network with biopharma needs to shape evidence generation and multimodal real-world data initiatives. You will help "harvest" insights from the field and translate them into clear narratives and opportunities that support project development and revenue growth.

The value you add:

• Engage directly with oncologists, pathologists, and clinical stakeholders—often alongside clinical sales—to gather insights on clinically meaningful biomarkers, unmet needs, and adoption drivers.
• Support evidence generation and multimodal real-world data initiatives by helping connect biopharma questions with feasible approaches across our clinical network.
• Act as a scientific "face of credibility" in external conversations, ensuring discussions are grounded in clinical relevance and aligned to stakeholder expectations.
• Partner closely with internal teams (e.g., clinical sales, BD) to feed field intelligence back into positioning, project concepts, and customer engagement strategies.
• Contribute to revenue impact by helping identify, shape, and progress opportunities that translate clinical insights into compelling biopharma value propositions.

Requirements

We know that every background is different, but to be best set for success we see you bringing:

• 5 years of experience in biomarker strategy, translational medicine, medical affairs, precision oncology, companion diagnostics, or clinical evidence generation.
• Strong understanding of NGS clinical biomarkers and diagnostic concepts (IHC knowledge is a plus), with the ability to quickly learn SOPHiA GENETICS' offerings and communicate their value.
• A commercial mindset, able to connect scientific/clinical discussions to opportunity creations and revenue impact. Previous exposure to commercial conversations for an NGS Dx or CDx product highly sought.
• Strong technical knowledge combined with creativity and problem-solving skills to design and propose custom solutions tailored to client needs
• Proven ability to engage credibly with oncologists, pathologists, KOLs, and clinical networks, and to translate clinical insights into clear, actionable business and project inputs.
• Fully fluent in English; additional european languages (Italian, Spanish) valuable

As a public organisation facing ongoing commercial growth, you will bring a success-orientated and solutions-focused mindset that embraces team collaborations, change, growth and inclusion.

As an international organisation, English is our primary business language and as part of your recruitment journey, you should expect to meet English-only speakers. For best chances of success, you should include your CV in English. Unfortunately, non-English CVs have a high likelihood of being rejected at application stage.
