About CancerIQ

At CancerIQ, our technology is expanding access to precision cancer prevention, early detection & 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 & 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.

Today, CancerIQ is the precision health platform of choice in over 225 diverse clinical locations and specialties across the country. The platform is proven to double genetics workforce capacity and enhance cancer risk assessment and screening compliance, which supports earlier cancer diagnoses and reduces mortality and cost. Recent outcomes achieved by CancerIQ have been published in Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention and Genetics in Medicine.

We have recently announced that we are seeking health systems to participate in the newly launched, large-scale research effort that will document the downstream revenue of digital interventions for genetically informed cancer prevention, early detection and treatment. The "Validating Applications for Long-term Utility and Enhanced ROI" (VALUE) in Cancer Risk Programs Study aims to bring together health systems from across the country to advance understanding of the system-level financial value of genetics and genomics.

CancerIQ seeks a Project Manager to collaborate with our customers, academic partners, and medical advisory board to design, orchestrate and manage this research initiative. This individual will play a key role in formulating scientific strategy and will oversee planning. CancerIQ is at the forefront of “mainstreaming” genetic counseling and testing and implementation science of genetic prevention programs. The candidate will have the opportunity to play a leading role in helping grow the knowledge base and develop next-generation best practices in genetic program design and implementation, and also publish incredibly valuable health economic outcomes research.
