INTRODUCTION
Our mission is to detect cancer early, when it can be cured. We are working to change the trajectory of cancer mortality and bring stakeholders together to adopt innovative, safe, and effective technologies that can transform cancer care.
We are a healthcare company, pioneering new technologies to advance early cancer detection. We have built a multi-disciplinary organization of scientists, engineers, and physicians and we are using the power of next-generation sequencing (NGS), population-scale clinical studies, and state-of-the-art computer science and data science to overcome one of medicine’s greatest challenges.
GRAIL is headquartered in the bay area of California, with locations in Washington, D.C., North Carolina, and the United Kingdom. It is supported by leading global investors and pharmaceutical, technology, and healthcare companies.
This is a customer-focused position that requires a “market builder” mindset. A successful GGC1 acts with urgency and passion to engage physicians and their staff to think differently about cancer screening and change the way they practice, integrating MCED technology into their office workflow, and consistently offering it to appropriate patients with the goal to identify more cancers sooner.
GRAIL is the first company in the world to bring MCED technology to patients and clinicians - this is a rare opportunity in one's career!
The GGC1 role is an in-person selling role, with the expectation that candidates spend the majority of their time (>85%) making in-person visits to targeted physician practices, planning and supporting events, and executing on Company initiatives.
This is a field-based role located in your city and state, currently covering the following territory: Central Illinois / Iowa and surrounding areas. Ideal home locations for candidates are Peoria, Quad Cities, Springfield or Bloomington. While you will primarily operate in the field, travel to a GRAIL office or other locations may be required to support business needs.
We’re building a world-class team to take on one of healthcare’s most important challenges. Are you ready to join us?

- Partner with internal stakeholders (sales leadership, marketing, customer service, billing, and other customer-facing teams) to provide field insights that shape strategy and execution.
- Identify market opportunities, share best practices, and communicate successful selling approaches with peers, management, and the Commercial Team.
- Implement promotional activities that support sales and marketing strategies in compliance with industry standards and company policies.
- Collaborate with Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) to educate providers on the science behind MCED technology and build relationships with Key Opinion Leaders.
- Manage complex customer accounts by engaging healthcare providers, administrators, and clinical staff through advanced consultative selling and solution-oriented discussions.
- Lead high-level product conversations, clinical education sessions, and value-based presentations tailored to specific therapeutic and operational needs.
- Apply in-depth knowledge of diagnostic tools, laboratory processes, and clinical applications to support informed decision-making among customers.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Business Development Jobs at GRAIL Jobs
Frame your BD experience around clinical commercialization
GRAIL's Business Development roles center on health system partnerships and payer strategy, not traditional sales cycles. Tailor your resume to show experience in reimbursement navigation, provider network development, or oncology market access rather than generic revenue growth metrics.
Verify GRAIL's LCA filings before your interview
Search DOL's OFLC disclosure database for GRAIL's Labor Condition Application filings under your target job title. This reveals the prevailing wage tier they've used for Business Development roles, so you can anchor salary discussions to what USCIS has already certified.
Confirm your OPT STEM extension eligibility early
Business Development roles at a biotechnology company like GRAIL often qualify under STEM-designated SOC codes, which can extend your F-1 OPT by 24 months. Confirm your offer letter's job classification with your DSO before accepting, not after.
Target GRAIL's regional health system partnerships pipeline
GRAIL's BD hiring tends to track its commercial expansion into Integrated Delivery Networks and regional health systems. Researching which health systems have announced Galleri partnerships signals where active headcount needs are, giving you a sharper angle in outreach and interviews.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Business Development roles by visa type
GRAIL posts Business Development positions across experience levels, and sponsorship eligibility isn't always obvious from the listing. Use Migrate Mate to filter GRAIL's open roles specifically by the visa categories relevant to your status before investing time in applications.
Start the TN documentation process before your start date
If you're a Canadian or Mexican national, TN status for Business Development roles at a biotech company requires a specific qualifying profession designation. Prepare your credential documentation and employer support letter at least three weeks before your intended start date to avoid delays at the port of entry.

Find Business Development at GRAIL JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does GRAIL sponsor H-1B visas for Business Developments?
GRAIL does not appear among the most active H-1B sponsors for Business Development roles based on publicly available DOL disclosure data. Their sponsorship activity for this function is concentrated in other visa categories. If H-1B sponsorship is a priority for you, raise it directly during the offer stage rather than assuming it from the job posting.
Which visa types does GRAIL commonly sponsor for Business Development roles?
GRAIL's sponsorship activity for Business Development positions has included F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, and employment-based Green Card pathways such as EB-2 and EB-3. F-1 OPT is most relevant for recent graduates entering BD roles, while TN applies to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying professional categories. Green Card sponsorship typically becomes available after an employee establishes tenure.
How do I apply for Business Development jobs at GRAIL?
Applications go through GRAIL's careers portal, where Business Development roles are listed under commercial or market access functions. For the strongest application, align your experience with GRAIL's oncology commercialization focus, specifically health system partnerships, payer strategy, or reimbursement. You can browse current open Business Development positions at GRAIL filtered by visa sponsorship eligibility on Migrate Mate before applying directly through GRAIL's site.
What qualifications does GRAIL expect for Business Development candidates?
GRAIL's Business Development roles typically require a background in life sciences, health economics, or healthcare services, often combined with a graduate degree or equivalent field experience. Practical exposure to oncology market access, Integrated Delivery Network contracting, or payer reimbursement strategy is valued. Candidates who can speak to value-based care models and clinical evidence communication tend to be stronger fits given GRAIL's product positioning.
How do I plan my timeline if I need visa sponsorship for a GRAIL Business Development role?
Timeline planning depends on your current status. F-1 OPT authorization through your school typically takes three to five months from application, so initiate it before you receive an offer. TN status for Canadian nationals can be processed at the border on your start date, but preparing documentation takes two to three weeks. For Green Card sponsorship through PERM, GRAIL initiates the process, and total timelines from filing to approval commonly run 18 months or longer depending on priority date backlogs.
