Genetic Counselor

PreOncology is building the first medical‑grade, oncologist‑led cancer prevention and early detection program, supported by the Stage Alpha Operating System. Our mission is to identify cancer risk earlier, personalize prevention and surveillance, and help detect cancer at the earliest point a confident, actionable determination can be made. We are seeking a Lead Genetic Counselor (licensed in FL) to help build and deliver this model. This is our first genetic counselor hire and a foundational role in the company. This individual will play a central role in the Stage Alpha Assessment and help launch the Living Genome program. The right person is clinically strong, operationally disciplined, highly entrepreneurial, and excited to help build a new category in oncology. The Lead Genetic Counselor will work closely with PreOncologists and the Prevention Care Team to provide cancer genetic counseling for individuals undergoing the Stage Alpha Assessment. This person will support germline and whole genome testing workflows, interpret and communicate results, guide hereditary cancer risk discussions, and help develop the Living Genome program for ongoing reinterpretation of genomic data over time. Clinical Responsibilities Conduct pre‑test and post‑test genetic counseling for individuals undergoing the Stage Alpha Assessment. Review personal and family history to assess hereditary cancer risk. Guide appropriate germline genetic and whole genome testing strategies in collaboration with PreOncologists. Interpret and communicate test results, including pathogenic variants, likely pathogenic variants, negative results, VUS, and secondary findings. Help members understand how genomic findings may influence cancer risk, prevention, and enhanced surveillance. Participate in Prevention Care Team visits as the genetic counseling expert. Support cascade testing recommendations for family members when appropriate. Document counseling sessions and recommendations clearly and thoroughly. Living Genome Responsibilities Help design and operationalize the Living Genome program. Support ongoing reinterpretation and reclassification workflows for genomic findings over time. Develop member communication workflows for updated genomic findings and evolving risk information. Help define how genomic updates should be integrated into the broader Stage Alpha risk assessment and care pathway. Work with the clinical team to create high‑quality, understandable genomic reports for members and physicians. Program Building Responsibilities Help build the genetic counseling workflow for Stage Alpha Assessment and Living Genome from the ground up. Develop protocols, templates, documentation standards, and escalation pathways. Collaborate with product, engineering, and clinical leadership to improve the member and clinician experience. Help define best practices for integrating genetic counseling into a premium oncology‑led prevention platform. Contribute to educational materials for members, physicians, and internal teams. Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, quality, and scalability without compromising clinical excellence. Quality and Strategic Responsibilities Ensure genetic counseling workflows align with best clinical practices and regulatory expectations. Help shape the future model for how genetic counseling supports precision prevention and early cancer detection. Participate in quality improvement, case review, and program development discussions. Support future research, outcomes tracking, and evidence development as the platform grows. Qualifications Master's degree in Genetic Counseling. Licensed in Florida. Board certified or board eligible genetic counselor. Active licensure or ability to obtain licensure as required. 5+ years of experience preferred, ideally in cancer genetics. Strong experience with hereditary cancer risk assessment and germline testing. Experience counseling unaffected but high‑risk individuals strongly preferred. Comfort with whole genome sequencing, polygenic risk, reanalysis, and genomic uncertainty strongly preferred. Experience with telehealth strongly preferred. Exceptional communication skills with the ability to explain complex genetics clearly and confidently. Strong organizational and documentation skills. Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in a fast‑moving build environment. Why This Role Matters This is not a traditional genetic counseling job. This person will help define how genetic counseling fits into a new model of cancer prevention and ultra‑early detection. The Lead Genetic Counselor will be a key part of building the Stage Alpha Assessment, standing up the Living Genome program, and helping PreOncology create a best‑in‑class member experience under medical oncology oversight.
