Business Development Manager

52% of the world can’t access essential healthcare: we’re a business that does something about it. Join us.

We focus on access to health products and services in underserved communities through a three-part model. We’ve built an app that works offline, operating in rural areas to equip community health workers to form a network of field agents. They collect data on health needs, which is used to design and implement targeted awareness and screening campaigns and enable supply of affordable medicines and products to rural pharmacies and stores, and we are now looking for someone to help grow the range of products and partners that we will help commercialize and distribute in low- and middle-income settings.

Why work with us? We are challenging established business norms, with a new value proposition to build a socially minded business model for half the planet. You get to be creative, move fast, own truly important things, grow, learn, and help people. We’re not a charity, we are redesigning how affordable healthcare is delivered through truly innovative business and service delivery models.

We already work with over half of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies and have footholds in markets such as India, Indonesia, Philippines, Kenya and South Africa. We will be expanding rapidly over the next year and entering a number of new markets, particularly in Africa.

We’re just getting started though, so get onboard: do something that matters.
