About Karius

Karius is a venture-backed life science company focused on transforming the way infectious diseases are diagnosed. Combining Next-Generation Sequencing and proprietary data analysis, Karius Spectrum can identify over 1,000 pathogens from a single blood sample and Karius Focus BAL can identify 500 pathogens with a BAL fluid sample, both tests providing a result with typical turnaround time in one business day.

By unlocking the information present in microbial cell-free DNA, we're helping doctors quickly solve their most challenging cases, with a future vision of accelerating clinical trials, discovering new microbes, and reducing patient suffering worldwide.

This represents an incredible opportunity to join a growing life sciences company poised to revolutionize the Infectious Disease diagnostics market. We are expanding the launch of our proprietary, Next-Generation Sequencing test in hospitals and health systems across the U.S. Joining Karius in our commercialization effort will both accelerate your career and advance our vision to see a world where infectious disease is no longer a major threat to human health.

The Regional Sales Director is responsible for achieving assigned regional revenue goals by driving sustained growth in Karius test utilization and market penetration in hospitals and across health systems with a rapidly expanding diagnostic portfolio. The RSD hires, develops, and leads a high-performing team of Clinical Sales Managers (CSMs), sets clear expectations, builds territory strategies, and fosters a culture of accountability, coaching, and continuous development.

In close partnership with Medical Science Liaison Directors, the RSD ensures coordinated and strategic customer engagement across CSM–MSL territory pairs to accelerate adoption and deepen account value.

As a key member of the Sales Leadership Team, the RSD contributes to the design and execution of national commercial strategy, champions major initiatives including new product launches, workflow/EHR integration, market development and provides timely customer insights that shape future innovation and operational excellence. This is an exciting and pivotal time to lead regional efforts at Karius as we bring transformative technologies to clinicians and patients.

Karius aims to conquer infectious diseases through innovations around genomic sequencing and machine learning. The company’s platform is already delivering unprecedented insights into the microbial landscape, providing clinicians with a comprehensive test capable of identifying more than a thousand pathogens directly from blood, and helping industry accelerate the development of therapeutic solutions. The Karius test we provide today is one of the most advanced solutions available to physicians who aim to deliver better care to many otherwise ineffectively treated patients.

Our test is the result of some incredible work done by our scientists, statisticians, engineers, and physicians, all driven by the same mission. You, as part of the Karius team, will be able to see how directly your work has a life-changing impact on people, and at scale.
