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.
We built Tempus to collect, structure, and organise data from disparate sources to power innovation and discovery. Tempus is a leader in advancing precision medicine through the practical application of artificial intelligence in healthcare. We are seeking a driven and strategic Director of Business Development to drive commercial sales for our AI Products Business unit with a focus on our multi‑modal AI and technology portfolio solutions.
Business Development Director will identify and pursue new business opportunities, develop and maintain a robust pipeline of prospects and potential customers, and own accounts from lead generation and qualification to proposal writing and deal closure. This role will work with the Paige team and cross‑functionally with a broad range of stakeholders and will require a strong understanding of the biopharma life cycle. Ideal candidates will be collaborative, agile team players eager to address and solve significant challenges within the digital pathology, oncology, and biopharma sectors.

Strategic account planning: become an expert in the partner’s strategy, pipeline and portfolio to proactively determine opportunities where our AI and technology solutions could be leveraged.
Relationship management: build and maintain relationships with key executives, strategy and innovation leads, clinical development heads, and program and assets teams.
Rigorous deal qualification and sales execution: qualify opportunities, focus on high‑probability deals, engage the economic buyer early, build and test champions, and understand the contract process.
Team‑based selling: collaborate closely with internal teams to present tailored solutions as a unified front to the customer.
Pipeline management: build and manage a robust sales pipeline in SFDC, provide accurate forecasting and consistently meet or exceed revenue targets.
