Business Development Associate — Life Sciences Part-time, Remote | Quantum Links AI

About Quantum Links AI

Quantum Links AI is an early-stage deep-tech company building the world's first enterprise-ready quantum computing access platform. We remove the single biggest barrier to quantum adoption — the need for PhD-level expertise — by providing a proprietary middleware layer that connects enterprises directly to leading quantum hardware, including IBM, Google, and Quantinuum. No quantum knowledge required. Just results.

We are now entering our commercial phase and are looking for a driven Business Development Associate to help us open doors in the life sciences sector.

The Role

This is a part-time, remote role with the genuine potential to grow into a full-time position as the company scales. You will be our first point of commercial contact in the life sciences space, and your primary mission is straightforward: identify small and medium-sized life sciences companies that face complex computational challenges — in areas such as molecular simulation, drug screening, compound optimisation, or genomic analysis — and introduce them to the opportunity of trialling quantum computing through our platform, completely free and with no commitment of any kind.

This is not a hard sell. The ask is simply: "Would you be open to exploring what quantum computing could do for your most complex computational problems, at no cost and no risk?"

Day-to-day responsibilities include targeted outreach to senior decision-makers (CTOs, Heads of R&D, Chief Scientific Officers) at pharma, biotech, and life sciences companies; building and managing a pipeline of qualified prospects; preparing tailored outreach materials; and feeding insights back to the founding team to sharpen our go-to-market approach.

What We Are Looking For

The single most important thing you bring to this role is existing high-level relationships within small and medium-sized life sciences companies. If you can pick up the phone to a CTO or Head of R&D at a biotech or pharma firm and have them take your call, you are the person we are looking for.

Beyond that, we are looking for someone who:

• Has a strong network within pharma, biotech, medical devices, or related life sciences organisations
• Understands the computational challenges these companies face — you do not need to be a quantum physicist, but you need to be able to have a credible conversation about why classical computing has limits
• Communicates complex ideas simply and confidently at senior levels
• Is self-motivated, organised, and comfortable working independently in a fast-moving, early-stage environment
• Has experience in business development, account management, or scientific sales — formal qualifications are secondary to real-world relationships and results

What We Offer

• Flexible, part-time remote working — you set your own schedule
• Remuneration is negotiable and will be discussed with shortlisted candidates, structured to reflect the value you bring
• A genuine opportunity to grow into a full-time senior commercial role as the company scales
• The chance to be at the ground floor of a technology that is genuinely changing what is computationally possible for enterprises

If you have the relationships and the ambition, we would love to hear from you.
