The Role
We’re looking for a Business Development Assistant to support our Sales Lead across the full sales process — from a qualified lead through to project kickoff for a new HelloBiome service. This role exists to take on the coordination and administrative work around an active pipeline, so nothing slips and our Sales Lead can focus their time on calls, proposals, and closing.
What You’ll Do
Keep leads moving day-to-day once they’ve been assigned to you, keeping our CRM accurate and current.
Coordinate logistics for product trials with internal teams, tracking progress through completion.
Follow up proactively at each stage so a lead doesn’t go quiet unnoticed.
Build targeted contact lists from relevant public sources.
Use prospecting tools to find and verify contact details.
Build and run multi-channel outreach sequences (email and social), including personalized messaging.
Support proposal preparation — draft materials for our Sales Lead to review and present.
Prepare internal summaries after calls and keep resulting action items moving.
What We’re Looking For
Excellent written and spoken English (B2—C1 level).
You’re organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable owning several parallel threads without dropping details.
You write clearly, both for internal summaries and external follow-ups.
You’re comfortable in a CRM (we’ll train you) — contacts, deals, pipeline stages.
You can work independently in a remote, async-friendly setting.
Nice to Have
Experience with a CRM platform.
Exposure to sales, outreach or proposal support — drafting materials for clients.
Comfort with common office or design tools for formatting client-facing documents.
Interest in biotech, beauty, or personal care.
What You’ll Learn
This role gives you practical experience in sales at a B2B biotech startup. By the end, you’ll be able to:
Run day-to-day CRM and pipeline management at a professional level.
Create an outreach strategy and convert leads into deals.
Support proposal creation for enterprise clients.
Coordinate cross-functionally with other teams on a live deal.
Understand how a science-led startup structures its sales process end to end.
What We Offer
Real responsibility and actual deliverables.
Direct mentorship from our Sales Lead and the wider team.
Hands-on exposure to modern sales tools and workflows.
Flexible remote work with async-friendly collaboration.
A front-row seat to how a science startup runs its commercial engine.
Potential to grow into a longer-term role as the company grows.
Details
Part-time, hourly-paid remote position with a flexible schedule and the possibility of transitioning to full-time. The candidate should be available occasionally for calls during U.S. morning hours.
