- Provide post-launch medical affairs support, including interpretation of test results, clinical consultation for healthcare providers, and guidance on patient counseling (pre- and post-test).
- Serve as GU oncology expert for support of high-value engagement and events identified by Strategic Accounts, Area Sales and Marketing leaders, commercial or clinical leadership.
- Lead medical education initiatives, including external training, launch planning, and the creation of scientific and clinical materials specific to GU malignancies.
- Identify and recruit Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in GU oncology to serve on advisory boards and contribute to strategic planning.
- Support the publication strategy by collaborating with Scientific Communications on manuscripts, abstracts, and conference presentations in GU oncology.
- Contribute to regulatory strategy by providing medical input into submissions related to GU cancer diagnostic products.
- Represent Natera’s medical voice externally through public relations, industry panels, advisory boards, and medical conferences, with a focus on GU oncology.

- Residency training in Radiation Oncology
- At least 3 years of post-residency clinical experience in GU cancers (prostate, bladder, kidney, etc.) as a primary treating radiation oncologist
- Deep knowledge of treatment paradigms, clinical guidelines, and diagnostic workflows in GU cancers
- Minimum 3 years of clinical trial experience in academic, biotech, or pharmaceutical settings
- Willingness to travel 40% (primarily U.S.-based, with occasional international travel)
