GRAIL is seeking a Director, Software Product Management, Commercial Software to lead the strategy, roadmap, and execution of our commercial software portfolio. This leader will play a critical role in shaping the systems that power our commercial operations and enable healthcare providers, patients, and partners to access and adopt our life-saving technologies. You will join a cross-functional organization spanning engineering, commercial, laboratory operations, billing, legal, quality, and finance to deliver scalable, secure, and compliant software solutions in a highly regulated clinical environment.
This role requires both strategic vision and operational rigor — someone who can define long-term product direction while driving disciplined execution, balancing customer experience, commercial outcomes, and regulatory requirements.

Your specific schedule, determined in collaboration with your manager, will align with team and business needs and could exceed the 40% requirement for the site. At our Menlo Park campus, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the key days where we encourage on-site presence to engage in events and on-site activities.
