VP, Data Strategy & GTM

Location: Chicago

Time Type: Full time

Job Description

Passionate about precision medicine and advancing the healthcare industry?

Recent advancements in underlying technology have finally made it possible for AI to impact clinical care in a meaningful way. Tempus' proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence to deliver real-time, actionable insights to physicians, providing critical information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time.

As the Strategy & GTM Lead, you will sit at the tip of the spear for our product life cycle, serving as the commercial architect for our real-world data asset portfolio. You will be directly responsible for identifying macro market trends, driving focused customer-engagement sprints, and translating complex biopharma customer requirements into commercial data products. Acting as the "horizontal" link to our customer-facing teams, you enable our go-to-market strategy through development of messaging and collateral (in partnership with Marketing), and ultimately pull-through via training of customer-facing teams (in partnership with Sales). 

What you’ll do:

• Product Feedback & Market Insights (Phase 1): Own the capture of market trends and drive focused customer engagement sprints to discover unmet data/AI needs and evaluate deep perspectives (e.g., scoping the viability of net-new offerings like an MRD product).

• Product Definition & Strategy (Phase 2): Act as the ultimate owner for commercial valuation, downstream commercialization strategy, and defining precisely "what" we build to unlock maximum revenue potential across new offerings and substantive features.

• Cross-Functional Scoping Support (Phase 3): Collaborate closely with Operations and Product/Engineering to ensure initial technical scoping tightly aligns with the initial market problem statement or product gap.

• Product Launches & GTM Execution (Phase 4): Drive commercial readiness for launches by establishing scalable pricing models, account archetyping, and crafting market-facing messaging, case studies, white papers, and use-case frameworks (in close collaboration with Marketing).

• Pre-Sales Activation & Delivery (Phase 5): Provide direct, strategic GTM support for pre-sale motions and large-scale enterprise deals to accelerate new customer traction (in close collaboration with Sales).

Required Education & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Data Science, Biology, or a related field; an MBA or advanced degree in a scientific/technical discipline is strongly preferred.

• 10+ years of experience in product management, strategy consulting, or commercial leadership roles, ideally within life sciences, clinical research, or health-tech organizations.

• Proven experience in driving revenue growth through successful product launches and enterprise-level GTM strategies.

• Deep familiarity with the biopharma ecosystem, particularly regarding real-world evidence (RWE), clinical trials, or precision medicine applications.

Pay Range: $235,000 - $325,000

Actual salary may vary based on qualifications and experience. Tempus offers a full range of benefits, which may include incentive compensation, restricted stock units, medical and other benefits depending on the position.
