Co-Founder — Business Development & CEO
About the job
This is a co-founder role, not a job.
Kevda Bioworks is a wet-lab contract research organization (CRO) serving VC-backed biotech and biopharma companies. We execute research programs our clients can't run in-house — molecular biology, cell engineering, mRNA synthesis, LNP formulation, protein characterization — out of our facility at C-CAMP in Bangalore, India, with leadership based in Boston, MA.
We are operational. Lab running. Team hired. First clients being pursued now.
What we don't have yet is a dedicated person on the commercial side. That's what we're building toward with this hire.
What you'll do
- Drive new client acquisition through your network, outbound, and conferences
- Own client relationships from first conversation through delivery
- Intake new project scopes, assess feasibility with scientific leadership, convert to signed engagements
- Maintain day-to-day oversight of active projects and client communication
- Build the BD process from the ground up
What we're looking for
- Background in biotech, pharma, CRO, or CDMO — you know the space and the buyers
- BD, sales, or account management experience in a technical or scientific market
- Self-directed — you don't need a playbook to get started
- Motivated by ownership, not a paycheck
- US-based (remote; travel for client meetings and conferences expected)
Compensation
Equity co-founder position. No salary to start — structured to transition to salary as revenue scales. This is for someone who sees the upside in owning a meaningful stake in a profitable, growing CRO — not someone who needs income from day one.
