Talent Insight

Monitoring and screening are rewriting the org chart

  • MRD volumes are climbing fast, which makes oncology reps, MSLs and lab operations people who know tumour-informed monitoring the profiles to watch.
  • Blood-based screening sells like primary care, not specialist oncology. People who've sold screening to health systems and payers are a different, and scarcer, profile.
  • New CEOs and portfolio sales tend to reshuffle the layer below. Expect commercial leadership movement across the sector into early 2027.
