Skills & Requirements
Your profile
- Senior operator with a strong track record — ideally 8+ years in business development, fundraising, or commercial leadership, with real experience in biotech, life sciences, or a related deeptech sector
- Has raised capital before, ideally as a founder, or has been deeply embedded in fundraising as an early executive
- Comfortable in the ambiguity of an early-stage company — willing to do the hands-on work as well as the strategic work
- Genuinely excited about the science and mission, not just the commercial opportunity
- Aligned with taking this on as a long-term commitment — this is a co-founder role, not a project or contract
- Comfortable with the founder trade-off: sweat equity now, meaningful ownership and salary once finances are secured
The offer
- Meaningful co-founder equity, reflecting the fact that this is a full partnership
- A real seat at the table —a voice in strategic decisions
- A technology and product with prototypes validated, MVP in place, and KOL costumers in place
- The chance to build something from the ground up with full ownership of the commercial function
About the company
We are a DeepTech spinn-off from the Karolinska Institute, developing a disruptive proteomics biomarker discovery platform invented in the founder’s lab.
Why is this interesting?
After years of research and development, we have now reached a high TRL and de-risking of our tech, including successful prototypes, IP with broad international coverage, and an MVP ready for use, and our first KOL customers in line. As our current founder team is tech-heavy, we are now looking for the right person to help us turn strong science into a strong business.
Our small but efficient team is based in Stockholm. We are open to a business lead working hybrid, as long as they can travel in regularly.
