This includes designing workflows, structuring queries, and guiding the analysis of complex datasets (genomic, clinical, imaging). • Identify and implement technological solutions and workflow improvements to make the client experience on the platform as easy, efficient, and intuitive as possible. • Act as the voice of the client, collaborating closely with Tempus Product, Engineering, and Data Science teams to prioritize features and resolve technical challenges. • Create high-quality technical documentation, tutorials, and training materials for clients on platform features and best practices for scientific analysis.
