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?

- Represent and collaborate with a diverse, cross-functional team to enhance competitiveness and innovation.
- 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.
- Analyze territory performance trends, competitive dynamics, and customer behavior to shape strategy and identify growth opportunities.
- Maintain accurate customer documentation within the CRM system.
- Build and sustain long-term customer relationships by providing consistent follow-up, operational support, and clinically relevant insights.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Business Development Consultant Jobs at GRAIL Jobs
Frame Your Credentials Around Oncology Commercialization
GRAIL's BD function is focused on early cancer detection and health system partnerships, not traditional pharma sales. Tailor your resume and portfolio to show experience commercializing diagnostic or genomic products, since generalist BD backgrounds without life sciences context are less competitive here.
Verify Your OPT or CPT Timeline Before Applying
F-1 candidates should confirm how many months of OPT remain before submitting. GRAIL's hiring cycle for BD roles can run 8 to 12 weeks, and starting after your OPT expires creates an authorization gap that delays onboarding or requires an immediate H-1B cap-gap bridge.
Understand How TN Status Fits BD Roles
Canadian and Mexican nationals can pursue TN status under the Management Consultant or Scientific Technician categories. Whether a Business Development Consultant role qualifies depends on how the job duties are framed in the offer letter, so clarify the classification with GRAIL's immigration team before your start date.
Target GRAIL During Q4 Headcount Planning
Biotech BD teams at GRAIL typically finalize headcount in Q4 and execute hires in Q1, which aligns with the H-1B cap registration window in March. Timing your application to land in front of a hiring manager in January or February gives GRAIL room to register you before the lottery closes.
Prepare for a PERM-Adjacent Credential Review
EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship requires a PERM labor certification where DOL audits your qualifications against the job description. For BD roles, ensure your degree field and years of experience align precisely with the posted requirements, since any mismatch triggers a DOL audit and adds months to your Green Card timeline.
Use Migrate Mate to Find Active GRAIL BD Openings
Roles at GRAIL with confirmed sponsorship history for this function are filtered and listed on Migrate Mate. Search by visa type to identify which Business Development Consultant postings are currently open and sponsorship-eligible, so you're applying to verified opportunities rather than guessing from a general job board.

Find Business Development Consultant at GRAIL JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does GRAIL sponsor H-1B visas for Business Development Consultants?
GRAIL has sponsored H-1B visas for roles in this function, though sponsorship is evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on the specific position and candidate profile. Because H-1B cap-subject petitions are tied to the annual lottery in April, the timing of your offer relative to GRAIL's fiscal planning matters. Candidates already in H-1B status transferring from another employer face a separate, cap-exempt process that moves faster.
How do I apply for Business Development Consultant jobs at GRAIL?
Applications go through GRAIL's careers portal, where BD roles are listed by location and function. Before applying, research GRAIL's Galleri test and Shield blood test product lines so your cover materials reflect the company's commercial focus on multi-cancer early detection. Migrate Mate lists current GRAIL openings filtered by visa sponsorship eligibility, which helps you identify the right postings before applying directly.
Which visa types does GRAIL commonly use for Business Development Consultant roles?
GRAIL has sponsored F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, TN, EB-2, and EB-3 visas for positions in this function. OPT and CPT are typically used for candidates early in their careers or transitioning from graduate programs in life sciences or business. TN is an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying occupational categories. EB-2 and EB-3 are long-term immigrant pathways that require a PERM labor certification filed through DOL.
What qualifications does GRAIL expect for Business Development Consultant roles?
GRAIL's BD function sits within a clinical-stage oncology company, so the strongest candidates combine a background in life sciences, health economics, or diagnostics with direct experience structuring partnerships or managing payer and health system relationships. An advanced degree in a relevant field strengthens both your candidacy and your EB-2 eligibility. Experience with reimbursement strategy or laboratory-developed test commercialization is a notable differentiator given GRAIL's product stage.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a GRAIL BD role?
Timeline depends heavily on visa type. F-1 OPT authorization is typically in place before your start date if your STEM OPT extension is already approved. TN status can often be obtained at a port of entry on the day you present. H-1B cap-subject petitions require a March lottery registration, with employment starting no earlier than October 1. EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through PERM takes two to four years from initial filing under normal DOL and USCIS processing times.
