Business Development Manager

About Us We’re Cyted - a pioneering gastrointestinal health diagnostics company enabling more patients early access and detection for esophageal cancer and Barrett’s esophagus. Our technology brings a minimally invasive diagnostic approach to market - our EndoSign test combines a swallowable pill-like device with advanced biomarkers and analytics to help detect disease earlier and faster. What started as an idea between a health-tech entrepreneur and leading clinical scientists at Cambridge University has quickly grown into an international company operating across the UK and US, backed by investors such as EQT Life Sciences and a $44M Series B investment. But we still work like a startup - because we are one. Things move quickly here and we build as we go. Some days you’ll be solving problems first of their kind with innovative approaches. Other days you’ll just need to roll your sleeves up and get things done. That’s the reality of building a company that’s growing fast and trying to genuinely change patient outcomes. We’re a small, highly collaborative team, which means your work matters. We have the trust and belief from our investors so you won’t disappear into layers of hierarchy or spend months waiting for decisions. If you have a good idea, we want to hear it, regardless of your role or title. We like people who are curious, adaptable, thoughtful, and always willing to learn and improve. This isn’t a polished corporate environment where everything already exists. We’re building processes, teams, products and ways of working in real time. Every day is different. If the idea of helping build something ambitious from the ground up excites you - and you want your work to have a real-world impact on people’s lives - we’d love to hear from you. Our recruitment process runs through four stages and we interview on a rolling basis. Each stage has its own purpose. As we have grown, we have made each contact point based on candidate feedback, making sure you actually get a helpful insight into Cyted. We want to give you the most open & true snapshot of us no matter the role. Initial conversation – Run by Maddie from our People team, this is a relaxed online chat so we can learn more about you and your background, and so you can learn more about us too. Line manager interview – This online chat explores the role in more detail through scenario-based and role-specific questions to see how you would bring your skills and knowledge into Cyted. Team interview & assessment – To meet the wider team and see how we work in-person, we like to involve a panel of team members to listen to your ideas in either a presentation or assessment format. Final Interview – Marcel, our CEO, still speaks to every new potential employee. In this online meeting, you will get to discuss your goals and explore how they align with the company’s history and future vision. Role Summary As a Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for creating and growing Cyted's commercial presence across Southeast territory, helping health systems adopt an innovative diagnostic solution that enables earlier cancer detection and improves patient care. You'll own the emergence and success of your territory, creating new opportunities, building lasting relationships and supporting customers from their first interaction through implementation, adoption and ongoing expansion. Working with health systems, integrated delivery networks (IDNs), academic medical centres and gastroenterology providers, you'll engage clinical, operational and executive stakeholders to understand their challenges and demonstrate how Cyted can help improve patient access and redesign care pathways. This is a highly autonomous, field-based role. Success comes from being out and in the middle of the market - meeting customers, building networks, identifying opportunities and turning relationships into long-term partnerships. You'll spend your time dedicated to customers, diving into and winning their time in-person, becoming a trusted partner within your territory while consistently delivering commercial growth. As Cyted continues to expand across the US, you'll work closely with Clinical, Medical Affairs, Product, Operations and Customer Success to solve customer challenges and deliver an exceptional customer experience. Your insight from the field will directly influence how we refine our commercial approach, improve adoption and continue to grow. We're looking for someone who enjoys building. Someone who creates opportunities rather than waits for them, takes ownership and enjoys getting out to meet customers and build lasting relationships. Whether you've helped launch a new territory, grown an early-stage business or are looking for the opportunity to make a bigger impact, you'll thrive in an autonomous environment where initiative is valued and your contribution will directly shape Cyted's commercial growth.
