Rivia · Zurich
About Rivia Rivia is a data engine for clinical trial intelligence. It provides data infrastructure and AI-driven workflows for clinical trial teams, enabling biotechs to run studies more efficiently and to demonstrate which patients derive the greatest benefit from new therapies. Biopharma companies are the source of most therapeutic innovation, yet clinical development is frequently slowed by fragmented data and outdated tooling. Rivia delivers a real-time, integrated view across clinical trial data, improving both trial execution and the evaluation of new treatments. Our goal is for Rivia to become the new standard infrastructure for modern drug development, bringing new therapies to market more successfully at a fraction of the cost. We seek highly driven, motivated and talented professionals to contribute to our growing startup. About Rivia's Sales Team Our Sales team is at the forefront of Rivia's growth, bringing innovative clinical trial technology to biotech and pharmaceutical companies across Europe and the US. We operate in a complex, high-value B2B environment, where understanding customers, building trust, and creating meaningful relationships are essential to success. As we scale, we're building a high-performing commercial organization that combines ambition, strategic thinking, and relentless execution. The Role As a Business Development Representative at Rivia, you will be a driving force behind our growth, identifying, engaging, and creating opportunities with biotech and pharmaceutical companies across Europe. This is not a role where you'll simply follow a predefined playbook. You'll help build and continuously improve our outbound engine, experimenting with new approaches, identifying untapped opportunities, and finding creative ways to connect with the right decision-makers. You'll own your prospecting activities from initial research and outreach through qualification and handover to our Account Executives. You'll develop a deep understanding of the clinical trials industry, our customers' challenges, and how Rivia can create meaningful value for their organizations. We're looking for someone who is ambitious, commercially sharp, and relentless in pursuing results. Someone who moves fast, takes ownership, learns quickly, and isn't discouraged by rejection. You'll need to be comfortable navigating complex organizations, engaging senior stakeholders, and finding ways to open doors that others can't. You'll work closely with our Account Executives and commercial leadership, contributing directly to our pipeline generation strategy and the evolution of our go-to-market approach. If you're excited by the opportunity to build, experiment, exceed ambitious targets, and have a direct impact on the growth of a Series A startup, we'd love to meet you. Working Model: This role is based on-site in our Zürich office. What Excites You Building something from the ground up. You enjoy creating and improving outbound strategies rather than simply executing an established playbook. The challenge of opening doors, engaging hard-to-reach decision-makers, and turning cold prospects into meaningful business opportunities. Working in a fast-paced, high-performance environment where ambitious targets, ownership, and measurable results drive your success. Understanding complex industries, learning about customers' challenges, and connecting innovative technology to real business needs. Experimenting with different prospecting approaches, messaging, and channels to discover what works and continuously improve results. Working closely with Account Executives and commercial leadership, contributing ideas and challenging assumptions to improve our go-to-market strategy. Being part of an ambitious startup where your individual contributions directly influence company growth and commercial success. Taking ownership of your results, pushing through challenges, and continuously raising the bar for yourself and the team. Responsibilities Outbound Prospecting & Pipeline Generation Own outbound prospecting activities, identifying and engaging potential customers across biotech and pharmaceutical companies in Europe. Build and execute targeted, multichannel outbound campaigns through email, LinkedIn, cold calling, and other creative approaches. Research target accounts, map key stakeholders, and identify relevant decision-makers and influencers within complex organizations. Generate and qualify high-quality sales opportunities, ensuring a consistent pipeline of relevant prospects for our Account Executives. Develop personalized outreach strategies that connect Rivia's value proposition to prospects' business challenges and priorities. Take accountability for individual activity, meeting, and qualified pipeline generation targets. Commercial Strategy & Market Intelligence Contribute to building, testing, and optimizing our outbound strategy, identifying new segments, opportunities, and approaches to improve pipeli
