We are looking for a Business Development Manager to lead technology diligence at FluidAI. The healthcare organizations we work with want the best clinical technology available, whether we license it, partner on it, acquire it, or build it ourselves. You will help decide which is right.You will take a clinical or operational need, find the technologies that could meet it, and test whether they live up to their claims. The work combines software skills (reading the architecture, running the product, checking the data) with clinical judgement (does it fit the care workflow, and does the evidence hold up). When the answer is to license or partner, you will lead the conversation with the technology owner and shape the deal. You will work with FluidAI's engineering, clinical, and product teams and guide a Business Development Analyst.Note: This role is based out of our Kitchener HQ in the Medical Innovation Xchange, with travel as needed.Job Responsibilities
