Business Development Representative (Remote Life Sciences & Biotech)

You know how to explain the science. Now imagine turning that skill into revenue.

This isn’t your typical SaaS BDR role. This is for someone who’s driven, scientifically curious, and looking to break into tech sales—or level up with a company that’s genuinely doing meaningful work.

We're working with a venture-backed startup (high growth, stealth-mode for now) that's transforming how scientists, researchers, and biotech innovators communicate their work. The product is already in use across 100+ countries, and the Business Development team is consistently exceeding targets.

If you’re excited about helping scientists accelerate discovery—and want a clear growth path to AE or CSM—this could be your launchpad.

We’re hiring Business Development Representatives in these key biotech hubs:
Boston, MA · Washington, DC / DMV Area · Raleigh–Durham, NC · Seattle, WA · Philadelphia, PA · Chicago, IL · Houston, TX · Austin, TX · Pittsburgh, PA

This is a remote-first role with occasional in-person customer meetings or events in these metros. If you're based near one of these cities and excited to break into life sciences sales , this could be your launchpad.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own top-of-funnel pipeline generation through outbound prospecting (email, cold call, social)

• Qualify and respond to inbound leads with speed and curiosity

• Identify decision-makers across academic, biotech, and enterprise research orgs

• Deliver personalized outreach that resonates with highly technical buyers

• Build deep product knowledge to engage confidently with scientists and researchers

• Partner with Account Executives to book meetings and influence revenue

• Log activities, track lead progression, and forecast pipeline in CRM (HubSpot/Salesforce)

You’ll Thrive Here If You…

• Have a background in life sciences (Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, etc.)

• Have 6–24 months in a BDR, SDR, or similar sales role—or are science-trained and ready to pivot into tech

• Communicate clearly, confidently, and with empathy (especially via phone/email)

• Love solving problems, asking thoughtful questions, and learning fast

• Are goal-oriented and motivated by metrics (KPIs, calls booked, quota)

• Bring self-discipline, energy, and coachability to your work every day

• OTE: $85,000–$100,000+ (uncapped commission structure)
