Molecular diagnostics and precision medicine testing for oncology, hereditary cancer, and pharmacogenomics
Myriad Genetics operates a clinical diagnostics and precision medicine business anchored in molecular testing across oncology, hereditary cancer, and pharmacogenomics. The hiring mix is heavily sales-skewed (149 of 235 active roles in sales), reflecting a go-to-market challenge: most pain points center on adoption and clinical uptake rather than test development. Active projects include AI-enhanced cancer risk assessment and structured rollouts of minimal residual disease (MRD) testing, paired with a tech stack (Salesforce, Python, R, dbt, Snowflake, Looker) that supports both clinical data pipelines and sales operations.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Medical Officer, Product Marketing Director, Lab Director
