Business Development Representative

Posted on February 22, 2026 (3 months ago)

Company Overview

We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data.
We’re backed by world-class investors and already powering partnerships with ambitious teams in AI. We are a lean, fast-moving, high-trust team obsessed with velocity and impact.

Role Overview

The Business Development Representative will build a high-quality healthcare pipeline through disciplined, insight-led outbound prospecting. Focus on organizations that provide real-world data for model development: run targeted sequences, qualify opportunities, and execute daily prospecting. Collaborate with Sales and the General Manager of Healthcare to test and validate outreach hypotheses.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain a focused Healthcare ICP target list and avoid random outreach.
  • Run daily outbound sequences (email, LinkedIn, calls) to generate qualified meetings.
  • Prospect into Protege’s core wedge: healthcare real-world data for AI model development.
  • Qualify quickly (use case, data needed, timeline, stakeholders, success criteria) and disqualify quickly.
  • Deliver clean handoffs with crisp notes to accelerate next steps.
  • Partner with Marketing and Demand Gen to iterate messaging and build repeatable outbound plays.
  • Maintain pipeline hygiene and report weekly on what’s working.
  • Build fluency in healthcare data and AI constraints (privacy, de-identification expectations, provenance) to be credible with technical buyers.

What Success Looks Like

  • 30 days: Learn the Healthcare motion, Protege’s positioning, core use cases and target personas. Build outbound workflow and begin booking initial qualified meetings.
  • 60 days: Run repeatable outbound plays with steady weekly output. Refine ICP targeting and messaging; document 1–2 reusable outbound plays.
  • 90 days: Scale high-performing plays, improve meeting quality and conversion, and deliver a 90-day retro with next experiments and enablement needs.

What You Bring

  • Proven ability to generate net-new pipeline through high-volume, high-quality outbound prospecting and convert outreach into qualified meetings.
  • Experience building and executing focused account plans with tight ICP targeting and disciplined follow-through.
  • Skilled at qualifying complex B2B opportunities: mapping stakeholders, clarifying use cases, and identifying clear next steps and disqualifiers.
  • Strong written and verbal communication; able to translate technical offerings into compelling outreach.
  • Operational rigor in CRM and pipeline management, including clean activity logging and weekly reporting.

Working with Protege

  • We move fast — thoughtfully; biased toward action and continuous learning.
  • We’re a lean, high-trust team with clear ownership, clarity, and autonomy.
  • We take our work seriously, not ourselves; we solve hard problems with humility.
  • We’re kind, direct, and inclusive, giving feedback early to help each other grow.
  • We’re builders at heart — hands-on, resourceful, and focused on momentum.
  • We grow fast — together; you’ll be surrounded by people who care about impact and challenge you to think bigger.

Why Protege

  • Work with leading health systems, aggregators, and AI developers redefining data collaboration.
  • Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits package.
