Recent advancements in underlying technology have finally made it possible for AI to impact clinical care in a meaningful way. Tempus' proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence to deliver real-time, actionable insights to physicians, providing critical information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time.

Tempus is seeking a highly qualified Sr. Associate, Sales Excellence to join our Life Sciences Research Strategy & Operations team, reporting to the Senior Director of Strategy & Operations, Life Sciences Research. This role will own salesforce effectiveness for our Life Sciences Research commercial team, including forecasting and reporting, territory and quota design, incentive compensation, Salesforce infrastructure, account planning, and sales training and enablement. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role for someone who can move between commercial leadership strategy and the day-to-day details of a rep's pipeline, and who can lead change across teams without formal authority.

What you’ll do

• Own the commercial operating rhythm, including pipeline and revenue forecasting, bookings-to-revenue tracking, and KPI reporting, and drive key business reviews (WBR, MBR, quarterly executive reviews) that turn the numbers into clear, actionable insights for sales leadership
• Quarterback annual quota setting, territory design, and sales force architecture in partnership with sales leaders
• Continuously manage sales training and enablement from the ground up, building a comprehensive curriculum for onboarding and ongoing skill-building (Technical, Salesforce, territory and account planning, deal playbooks, and persona-based positioning), and measure impact on ramp time and field effectiveness
• Elevate the selling motion from products to solutions by grounding customer conversations in real customer problems and how Tempus uniquely solves them, sharpening competitive positioning, and coaching reps to architect client solutions rather than pitch products
• Own Salesforce infrastructure, data hygiene, and opportunity tracking standards, and build dashboards that make pipeline, activity, and deal metrics visible and coachable
• Use sales and customer insights to diagnose where deals stall and where reps lose time, then lead the operational fixes to improve seller efficiency and shorten time-to-close

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in sales operations, commercial operations, sales enablement, revenue operations, business analytics, or finance within a commercial organization
• Track record of building repeatable commercial systems (forecasting, incentive comp, territory design, training programs), not just running one-off analyses
• Experience designing and delivering sales training or enablement content
• Advanced Salesforce.com experience, including reporting, dashboards, and data hygiene; Looker or similar BI tool experience is a plus
• Excel and PowerPoint savvy, with strong analytical skills
• Strong communication and presentation skills, including comfort presenting to sales leadership and executives
• Self-starter who brings structure to ambiguity and effectively balances competing priorities
• Strong business acumen
• Ability to develop and maintain strong relationships across departments (Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, Product, Operations, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications

• Commercial experience in oncology, life sciences, or selling research services to biopharma
• Direct experience applying AI tools or automated workflows to sales and commercial operations
