Achieve revenue goals and set revenue growth strategy: Own and deliver against revenue goals and partnerships, expanding existing partners and recruiting and on-boarding new partners. Set the strategy for achieving a 10x increase in partner revenue and support the team with complex deal negotiations on terms such as fee structures, IP ownership and use, and value sharing. Work with the BD team to shape revenue projections and lead the team to deliver on that growth, at a global level.

Shape Brightseed’s business model evolution: Brightseed’s insights are setting us up to become a leading player in the healthcare of tomorrow - including applications in precision nutrition, preventative healthcare interventions and population health. You will shape how we bring this knowledge and data to market with insurance providers and managed care networks, which may involve strategic JVs or acquisitions. 

Mentor and build a phenomenal team: Mentor the existing highly productive Business Development team and provide opportunities for growth and learning. Design and support the hiring of a growing BD team to meet our goals.

As a lab based company, where in person collaboration is key to drive innovation, we encourage all team members to be in our office most days each week. However we appreciate and honor the need and desire for flexibility and have implemented a hybrid working model. We have a fully stocked healthy kitchen, a gym onsite, plenty of free parking, weekly team events and a state-of-the-art lab and office. 

We offer a competitive total rewards package with team-first benefits programs for full-time employees, including medical, dental and vision coverage, unlimited paid time off, life insurance, disability coverage, employee assistance programs, 401(k) plan, a mental health platform, employee discounts, payroll credits for cell phone and commuter costs and a paid parental leave program.

We are committed to making transformative discoveries with a team-first mentality. Successful team members are truth-seeking and trusting, with the tenacity required to trail blaze in uncharted territory. We are a collaborative team that actively seeks input and values differing perspectives. And we produce tangible results, holding ourselves accountable in the process. 

We are also committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of connectedness and inclusion. We grow and learn together, respecting professional and personal experiences, areas of expertise, and types of self expression. 

In recruiting for our team, we welcome the unique contributions that each one of us brings in terms of education, opinions, culture, color, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veteran’s status, religion, different abilities, sexual orientation and beliefs.
