Business Development Executive for U.S. Northwest Region
Belay Diagnostics, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Company Overview
Belay Diagnostics is a ground-breaking and enterprising startup organization focused on the non-invasive detection of central nervous system cancers. Belay has partnered with Johns Hopkins, one of the country's leading neuro-oncology research centers, to commercialize proprietary molecular technology that will result in faster, more efficient, and less costly answers for patients with suspicious findings. Our goal is to become a neuroscience center of excellence dedicated to the timely, reliable detection of neurological malignancies and disorders. We hope to serve clinicians seeking a fundamentally better solution to suspicious neurological findings as well as partner with other healthcare entities who will leverage our data to develop much-needed therapeutic solutions for brain cancers.
Position Summary
The Business Development Executive is a critical element of the Company's commercial organization. The BDE functions as the tip of the spear by engaging new customers, closing business, and generating revenue for the organization. The ideal candidate has experience navigating matrixed and multi-tiered call points such as hospitals and health systems, delivering technical presentations to specialists and other relevant parties throughout the organization, and gaining commitment from key decision makers while imparting an appropriate sense of urgency. This position requires an individual with a strong track record of success in business development and overall territory growth. The BDE role calls for an enterprising, highly motivated, organized, seasoned, and collaborative individual who can operate with ease in a startup environment, and transition between business objectives as corporate priorities demand. This position requires experience selling laboratory testing in the Oncology space, and preferably NGS-based assays. The Business Development Executive will be responsible for closing new hospitals and health systems by selling directly to Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, Neuro-oncologists, and Medical Oncologists. After gaining commitment from ordering providers, the BDE will engage laboratory leadership and relevant administrative personnel to secure Belay's status as an approved reference laboratory. This process will entail leveraging internal resources to demonstrate clinical utility, establish medical justification, and persuasively articulating our brand's value proposition. The BDE will position Belay Diagnostics as a neuro-oncology center of excellence to drive neuro-pathology business from key target customers. While our flagship product is Summit, displacing incumbent reference labs with the goal of securing market share in the traditional neuro-pathology space will be critical to our overall success.
