About Inovus

For 25 years, Inovus has been helping clients better serve their customers and team members by delivering custom designed and configured business management solutions leveraging low‑code and no‑code SaaS platforms.

Our work currently focuses on CRM, workflow automation, team collaboration, and WorkOS solutions built on Monday and Creatio. We work across industries, but typically focus our business development efforts on manufacturing companies and non‑profit organizations.

The emergence of AI is creating new kinds of opportunities for Inovus and our clients to leverage embedded AI capabilities and cross‑platform AI automation in a rapidly shifting, high‑change environment.

As a highly rated partner with Monday and Creatio, known for our excellent team, strong technical capabilities, and exceptional client service, we have historically relied on our platform partners for new client development. We’re now investing in building out our own business development capabilities, and are looking for an entrepreneurial Business Development Lead who can develop new connections and opportunities for our team.
