Position Overview

cliexa is seeking a high-drive early-career professional who takes pride in being trusted with real responsibility early to join the company as a Business Development Associate supporting commercial growth, market research, and strategic initiatives.

In this role, you will support senior leaders by preparing the research, structure, and follow-through that allow complex commercial initiatives to move forward. You will help drive pipeline development, conduct market analysis, maintain CRM systems, and coordinate work across product, marketing, and leadership teams. The position sits at the intersection of business development, market intelligence, and operational execution.

The pace is fast, expectations are high, and priorities evolve quickly. The strongest candidates combine intellectual horsepower with humility — people who are curious, highly organized, and who take pride in making the teams around them more effective. They are comfortable working with highly analytical leaders, adaptable in ambiguous environments, and disciplined about follow-through.

The person who will succeed in this role will be someone who takes pride in being the person others rely on to make complex work actually move forward.
