Business Development Executive

About Us

Sage is on a mission to improve care and quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living communities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults over 65, yet current prevention and emergency response systems are outdated and ineffective. Sage has built a modern approach to detecting when older adults need help and ensuring caregivers can respond quickly and reliably. Our mission is to create products that our partners love—and this role is core to that goal.

We're a small, tight-knit team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs. As a software-enabled, mission-driven company, we focus relentlessly on the problems that matter most. We work hard and move fast, but we also operate with a marathon mindset: building something meaningful requires pace, intention, and care. The journey matters as much as the outcome.

About This Role

You will work closely with our Business Development Lead to shape Sage’s commercial motion—helping refine how we enter new markets, accelerate land-and-expand, and structure the sales organization for scale. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role suited for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, execution, and relationship-building, and who understands the nuances of selling into senior living.

This role will require regular travel to our New York headquarters, customer sites, and industry events up to 50% of the time.
