At Personalis, we are transforming the active management of cancer through breakthrough personalized testing. We aim to drive a new paradigm for cancer management, guiding care from biopsy through the life of the patient. Our highly sensitive assays combine tumor-and-normal profiling with proprietary algorithms to deliver advanced insights even as cancer evolves over time. Our products are designed to detect minimal residual disease (MRD) and recurrence at the earliest timepoints, enable selection of targeted therapies based on ultra-comprehensive genomic profiling, and enhance biomarker strategy for drug development. Personalis is based in Fremont, California.

Summary:
As the Commercial Analytics Manager, you will transform raw data into a strategic roadmap for growth.

Responsibilities:
- Analyze performance data to develop a set of strategic insights to drive growth in business channels and clinical segments

- Partner with Finance to design and manage the Sales Incentive Compensation (IC) plans that align rep behavior with company growth targets.
- Conduct regular "stress tests" on compensation plans to ensure they are driving the intended results and remain competitive within the biotech industry.
- Validate performance data to ensure accurate and timely commission calculations.
Requirements:
- 8 years relevant work experience with 5+ years in Commercial Operations, Sales Analytics, or Finance, ideally within the Life Sciences, Molecular Diagnostics, or SaaS space.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel (modeling) and CRM systems (Salesforce). Experience with BI tools (Tableau, PowerBI) or SQL is a significant plus.
