Business Development Manager

Control Bionics builds technology that reads the electrical activity of muscle and turns it into something a person can use. For fifteen years, that work has been focused primarily on assistive communication. The Neuro Node detects the signal from a muscle someone can still voluntarily contract, however small the movement, and turns it into control of a computer or speech device.

It is used every day by people living with conditions including ALS, spinal cord injury and cerebral palsy, helping them communicate and interact with the world around them.

We are a company of around forty people, with our US business based in Cincinnati, Ohio. We are small enough for individuals to have a visible impact on the business, while established enough to have proven technology, experienced teams and customers using our products every day.

Neuro Tech represents the next application of that technology and one of the fastest-growing areas of the business. The Neuro Strip is a wireless, lightweight surface EMG and movement sensor that captures muscle activation and streams it to our software in real time. It reads four channels simultaneously, runs for a full working day on a charge, and is small enough to be used naturally during rehabilitation, training and movement.

The Neuro Strip makes visible something physical therapists and performance professionals have traditionally had to infer: whether a muscle is activating, how strongly, how it compares with the opposite side, and how that activation changes over time. In rehabilitation, it gives clinicians and patients objective information that can complement clinical observation and patient feedback. In sport, it provides medical and performance teams with another source of information when assessing movement, fatigue, rehabilitation and readiness.

We are now commercializing Neuro Tech. With early customer experience, trials and paying accounts now in place, we are building the commercial infrastructure required to support broader adoption and sustainable growth. This role is a key part of that next stage.

Some customer conversations are more effective in person.

Walking through a physical therapy clinic, seeing how clinicians and patients move through the treatment environment, or spending time with a performance team in its own training setting can reveal things that are difficult to understand fully from a video call.

Live demonstrations can also change the nature of the conversation. Seeing muscle activity appear in real time, using the technology in the customer’s own environment and connecting that experience to a genuine clinical or performance question can help customers understand where Neuro Strip may add value.

The Business Development Manager is responsible for leading those high‑value field interactions.

This is the primary field-based commercial role within the Rehab and Performance team. The focus is on making in‑person customer time purposeful, well-prepared, and valuable, both for the customer and for the wider sales process.

Lead on-site discovery. Run customer meetings at outpatient physical therapy clinics, multi-site rehabilitation groups, college athletic departments, professional sports organizations and private performance facilities.

Open new accounts directly. Take personal responsibility for opening a share of new accounts from cold during the first year, working from an agreed target list and from your own network of contacts, with a particular focus on college and professional sports programs.

Demonstrate Neuro Strip. Deliver confident, practical live demonstrations in the customer’s own environment, using the technology with staff or athletes where appropriate and…
