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leading cause of injury-related death among adults over 65, yet current prevention and emergency response systems are outdated and ineffective.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 is based in the East Coast region but will require regular travel to our New York headquarters, customer sites, and industry events up to 50% of the time.

Benefits and Pay

Our headquarters are located in New York City’s Union Square, and we value cross-team collaboration and in-person connection. We encourage participation from all team members—great ideas can come from anywhere. While we take our mission seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We host offsites, outings, and team meals to stay connected as people. We offer office lunch, a fully stocked snack bar, and an in-office culture with flexibility for remote work.

We provide competitive base compensation along with stock options and an incentive bonus tied to revenue targets (TBD). The expected annual salary range for this role is $150,000–$175,000 USD, depending on experience and interview performance. We offer fully paid health and dental coverage, plus vision insurance, premium primary and urgent care memberships, online health providers, unlimited PTO (“take what you need”), seven paid holidays, and a company-wide winter break.
