Business Development Representative (Healthcare - SaaS)

Midtown Manhattan, NY (Hybrid – Mostly Remote)
$50,000–$100,000 base + commission

About the Role

This is a ground-floor business development role inside a growing SaaS startup focused on healthcare. You will be the first dedicated person owning the outbound pipeline, working directly with the founders to generate new opportunities and drive trials. This is not a passive role; you are expected to build a pipeline from scratch through outreach, follow-up, and persistence.

The environment is lean, fast-paced, and highly autonomous. The product is strong, the market is defined, and there is real demand. Must be polished, self-motivated, comfortable with outreach, and able to generate consistent activity across calls, email, LinkedIn, and events. This is a role for someone who takes ownership, moves quickly, and does not wait to be told what to do.
