Zymewire is growing rapidly, and we’re searching for a Business Development Manager to join us for the journey. Though we’re based in Toronto, there is no requirement to move to Toronto or to be a Canadian citizen for this role.
We’re a profitable SaaS startup that has built game-changing technology to help sales teams accelerate revenue growth. Today we’re focused on the life sciences space, but tomorrow we envision becoming the de facto service that sales professionals across all industries rely on to help them make the most informed decisions, take the most immediate action and be the most awesome at their unique jobs.
We carry out our mission through (1) keeping our customers at the heart of everything we do (2) maintaining an unrelenting curiosity about their challenges and work flows (3) constantly innovating (4) learning from each other, supporting each other and having fun while doing it.
Unlike VC-run companies out there, we’ve built our bootstrapped business on pure customer investment. Today more than 300 pharmaceutical and biotechnology service providers around the world trust Zymewire for their sales research. Our users are located in over 50 countries around the world and their companies range in size from start-ups to billion-dollar multinationals.
In the wake of the pandemic, we’re very grateful to say that we’ve seen continued growth in sales and that we’ve been successful in delivering sustained value to our clients. We are well-positioned to hire a remote Business Development Manager to help us extend our reach and impact even further.
