Description
Mercury helps healthcare and life science organizations ship with zero friction—so scientists, clinicians, and patients can focus on what matters most. We operate in a large, pain-filled market and our services solve real problems every day. To keep up with demand, we’re hiring initiative-takers who want ownership and impact from day one. While this role is remote, the candidate must live within driving distance of the Bay Area.
Role: Business Development Manager, California-North
Own a book of business while hunting new logos—from early-stage startups to major healthcare institutions. You’ll build trusted relationships, diagnose shipping challenges, and design solutions that improve speed, reliability, and compliance.
What you’ll do
• Grow existing accounts by deepening executive and stakeholder relationships
• Source new opportunities via outbound calls, networking, referrals, and social
• Qualify inbound leads and prioritize the highest-value pursuits
• Run a crisp sales process: discovery, solutioning, objection-handling, negotiation, close
• Partner with marketing and operations to deliver seamless client outcomes
• Maintain clean, accurate CRM hygiene and pipeline forecasts
• Stay sharp on industry trends, competitors, and Mercury offerings
• Hit and exceed targets—consistently
What you bring
• A bias for action and outbound prospecting
• Proven success meeting or beating sales goals
• Skill at uncovering pain, mapping stakeholders, and driving consensus
• Coachability and growth mindset
• Excellent communication and networking abilities
Requirements
• 3+ years of outside sales experience; transportation or healthcare a plus
• Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in business or related field preferred
• CRM proficiency (HubSpot/Salesforce or similar)
Why Mercury
• Mission with real-world impact in healthcare and life sciences
• A stable, profitable base with startup-level growth and autonomy
