Business Development Manager – Strategy, Funding & Growth (f/m/d)
Breakthroughs don’t happen quietly. They happen when sharp minds decide to build what doesn’t exist yet!
QTAS is a quantum-enabled medtech company translating advanced physics into clinical reality. We operate at the intersection of quantum sensing, deep tech, and medicine, building technology that has the potential to redefine diagnostics.
We’re not building incremental improvements. We’re building new possibilities.
We’ve prioritized building breakthrough technology. Now we’re ready to elevate how we present it to the world.
Our science is ahead of our storytelling. If you enjoy sharpening narratives and building presence around real substance, you’ll have real room to create impact here.
We build at the frontier. Quantum technology meets clinical reality.
We own every challenge. We embrace complexity and take responsibility.
We move with intent. High standards. Clear communication. Mutual respect.
We welcome different perspectives. We are committed to building an inclusive environment for people of all genders, identities, and backgrounds. Diverse teams build stronger companies.
If you don’t meet every requirement but feel energized by the role, we encourage you to apply!
We’re not looking for a checklist match.
We’re looking for someone who enjoys complexity, takes ownership, and turns ambition into execution.
You might be a grant strategist who thinks in funding pipelines. You might be a commercial builder who enjoys structuring markets and partnerships. Or a structured operator who brings clarity to fast-moving environments.
If you’re driven by impact, you’ll feel at home here.
