Position Overview
cliexa is seeking a high-drive early-career professional who takes pride in being trusted with real responsibility early to join the company as a Business Development Associate supporting commercial growth, market research, and strategic initiatives.
In this role, you will support senior leaders by preparing the research, structure, and follow-through that allow complex commercial initiatives to move forward. You will help drive pipeline development, conduct market analysis, maintain CRM systems, and coordinate work across product, marketing, and leadership teams. The position sits at the intersection of business development, market intelligence, and operational execution.
The pace is fast, expectations are high, and priorities evolve quickly. The strongest candidates combine intellectual horsepower with humility — people who are curious, highly organized, and who take pride in making the teams around them more effective. They are comfortable working with highly analytical leaders, adaptable in ambiguous environments, and disciplined about follow-through.
The person who will succeed in this role will be someone who takes pride in being the person others rely on to make complex work actually move forward. The role rewards initiative and intellectual curiosity, but excellence here is measured by judgment, preparation, consistent follow-through, and a focus on taking initiative towards continuous improvement.
We hire a small number of early-career professionals and invest in their development and professional growth. This role is designed as a high‑learning early‑career launchpad for individuals who want unusually early exposure to how a cutting-edge healthcare technology company actually grows — from enterprise sales and market strategy to executive decision-making.
Top performers in this role may quickly progress into enterprise sales, commercial strategy, product leadership, or strategic partnership roles as the company grows.
