I would then present balanced, indication-relevant evidence in a clear clinical narrative, including assay methodology, validated use cases, limitations, and appropriate interpretation. I would avoid promotional overreach, address unanswered questions transparently, and document follow-up needs through approved medical-affairs processes. Describe how you would prioritize a regional territory containing high-value accounts, declining accounts, and new KOL opportunities. I would segment accounts based on strategic importance, clinical potential, current engagement, barriers to appropriate utilization, and urgency of medical needs. I would establish a cadence that protects time for high-value and declining accounts while building a structured KOL-development pipeline. Regular review with MSL, sales, and marketing partners would allow me to adjust priorities using field intelligence and documented outcomes. Tell us about a time you translated complex oncology data for a non-academic clinical audience. I would structure the discussion around the clinical decision the audience faces rather than beginning with technical detail. I would explain the study population, endpoints, effect size, limitations, and practical implications using clear visuals and case-relevant examples. I would also reserve time for questions, clarify where evidence is still evolving, and ensure communication remains scientifically balanced and compliant. How would you handle an escalated off-label or medically complex question from an area account? I would acknowledge the inquiry promptly, clarify the exact question and context, and document it in the required system. I would respond only within approved scientific and compliance boundaries, involving the appropriate histology-specific medical director or internal subject-matter expert when needed. I would ensure closed-loop follow-up, record the resolution, and identify whether the question reveals a recurring educational or evidence gap. What approach would you use to turn field insights into a potential clinical-development or real-world-evidence opportunity? I would capture observations systematically, distinguish isolated anecdotes from recurring clinically meaningful patterns, and assess whether the question is addressable through existing evidence. For credible gaps, I would define the clinical rationale, target population, proposed endpoints, feasibility considerations, and potential investigators or KOL collaborators. I would then bring a concise, evidence-based concept to the relevant medical and clinical-development stakeholders for evaluation. Opportunity details ## About this role. POSITION SUMMARY The Area Medical Director (AMD) is a senior physician leader embedded within a defined geography (Northeast, East, Central, or West) to serve as Natera’s primary MD-to-MD clinical presence across the community oncology market. This role addresses the intersection of medical affairs, field execution, and scientific credibility — driving engagement with community oncologists, KOLs, and cross-functional field teams to accelerate appropriate utilization of Natera’s oncology portfolio, including Signatera and Altera. The AMD owns regional medical strategy, leads cross-functional field partnerships, and operates with high autonomy to define and execute area priorities. The AMD functions without a defined playbook, translates business strategy into field-level action, and surfaces clinical intelligence that informs both commercial execution and development priorities. This is a 50% field-based role. PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES MD-Level Field Engagement ● Execute 12–18 MD-level engagements per quarter across defined geography, with at least 50% concentrated in top strategic community accounts. ● Maintain field presence of at least 4 ride days per month, prioritizing and overseeing area high-value and “platinum” accounts, including lost/down account retrieval. Responsible/accountable for oversight and coordination with these accounts with Associate AMD. ● Establish and maintain contact with the medical lead in the top 20 area accounts; engage 100% of flagged accounts within 10 business days. Cross-Functional Medical Leadership ● Serve as the primary MD triage point for escalated area medical inquiries, acknowledging at least 90% within 48 hours with 100% closed-loop documentation in Salesforce. ● Partner with MSL managers, Area Sales Directors, and Area Marketing Directors through structured bi-weekly and monthly cadences to align scientific messaging and commercial strategy. ● Participate in at least 75% of high-priority account strategy reviews and area/regional planning sessions; co-own quarterly business reviews with MSL leadership. * Proficiency with and current understanding of Natera’s evidence generation portfolio and ability to speak to/escalate questions or issues coming from area accounts. Scientific Communication and Education ● Host, present, or observe at least 12 regional educational programs per quarter targeting high-impact community accounts. ● Lead development of at least one educational initiative per cycle (physician-facing, patient-facing, or via webinar/podcast); complete annual recurrent speaker training. ● Ensure consistent, compliant scientific positioning across field activities; document objection-handling themes and manage escalation to histology-specific Medical Directors where appropriate. Clinical Development Contribution ● Identify and document field-driven evidence generation opportunities; surface at least one histology-specific clinical trial concept per year in collaboration with the CMO and histology Medical Director teams. ● Generate at least 3 actionable regional insights per quarter in quarterly written reports submitted prior to manager review. ● Identify at least 3 qualified KOL collaboration leads per quarter, including IST/RWE prospects, documented in Salesforce. Performs other duties as assigned. QUALIFICATIONS Required: ● M.D. or D.O. with board certification in oncology, hematology, or a directly related clinical specialty. ● Minimum 5–8 years of related clinical or medical affairs experience following board certification (HM5 level; equivalent field experience accepted). ● Demonstrated proficiency across multiple tumor histologies and working knowledge of the molecular residual disease (MRD) diagnostic landscape. ● Experience in a field-based medical affairs, clinical development, or medical education role within oncology diagnostics, pharma, or biotech. ● Proven ability to communicate complex clinical data to community oncologist audiences. Preferred: ● Direct experience with cfDNA-based or MRD testing platforms (e.g., Signatera, ctDNA-based assays). ● Prior experience in a cross-functional field role collaborating with commercial, MSL, and marketing teams. ● Experience contributing to clinical trial design, IST development, or real-world evidence programs. KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES Technical: ● Deep clinical fluency across multiple solid tumor histologies and understanding of MRD biology, assay methodology, and clinical application in oncology management. ● Working proficiency in Salesforce or equivalent CRM for documentation, engagement tracking, and compliance adherence. ● Ability to analyze and translate clinical data, publications, and evidence landscapes into field-level scientific narratives and objection-handling frameworks. ● Familiarity with regulatory and compliance boundaries governing medical affairs activities, including fair balance and off-label communication protocols. Behavioral: ● High autonomy. Operates effectively without a defined playbook; identifies the problem, defines the approach, and executes without close management. ● T-shaped profile. Brings deep oncology clinical expertise with the ability to connect across commercial, scientific, and operational domains. ● Builder orientation. Establishes new ways of working, not just operates within existing structures — particularly in ambiguous or rapidly evolving environments. ● Executive presence. Maintains credibility and composure in physician-level and leadership settings; can challenge without alienating. ● Data-driven. Applies clinical evidence and field intelligence to frame medical conversations and inform internal strategic decisions. ● Cross-functional fluency. Communicates clearly across medical, commercial, and marketing functions without requiring translation layers. PHYSICAL DEMANDS & WORK ENVIRONMENT This is a field-based role with approximately 50% of time spent in regional travel across a defined geography. The AMD attends in-person customer meetings, educational programs, and internal team meetings, which may require extended hours, evening events, and weekend conference attendance. Remote home-office work constitutes the remaining time and requires reliable high-speed internet access. Physical demands are consistent with standard office and field-based activities. Travel required for this position: Yes ☒ Anticipated travel: >50% within defined regional geography The pay range is listed and actual compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, years & depth of experience, certifications and specific office location.
