About ZanisZanis is a Calgary health-technology company.
Our product, TempBuddy, is a patented smart thermometer that plugs into your phone, with no batteries, ever. It has shipped to families in more than 35 countries and is now launching in the United States.
This role opens our first U.S. B2B channels. You will be the one building them, with training and coaching at every step.
What You’ll Do
- Build TempBuddy’s U.S. B2B channels from the ground up: pharmacies, baby and maternity retailers, childcare operators, and medical distributors.
- Work the full B2B motion: define the ideal customer profile, shape the messaging, build prospect lists, design the outreach cadence, then run it.
- Reach decision makers by email, LinkedIn, and phone.
- Lead discovery conversations and demos, and carry samples and pilot proposals through to first partnerships.
- Own the CRM and weekly pipeline reporting.
- Bring buyer feedback back to the product team.
What You’ll Learn
- Structured training on the GrowthX B2B playbook: ideal customer profile, messaging, prospecting, cadence, and customer acquisition, plus a deep library of startup growth resources.
- Weekly coaching from the founder, who works through the playbook with you before you run it on your own.
- How medical products are sold into U.S. pharmacies, retailers, and distributors, including compliant positioning.
- Real startup experience:
watch a product go from launch to its first channel partnerships and own a piece of it.
- A six-month term built to grow into a permanent role if it works for both sides.
Who We’re Looking ForThis is a learning role. You don’t need to arrive experienced; we teach the method. We’re looking for someone with:
- A keen interest in B2B strategy and messaging, and curiosity about how businesses buy.
- Comfort reaching out to strangers, hearing “no,” and moving on to the next one.
- The ability to learn quick and apply feedback.
- A self-driven mindset — you have started things nobody asked you to.
- The ability to work independently while working closely with a hands-on founder.
- Related experience in sales, marketing, customer-facing work, or startups is a plus, not a requirement.
Eligibility
- Canadian citizen or permanent resident
- Age 30 or under
- Post-secondary graduate in any discipline
- Business, life sciences, and biomedical backgrounds are all welcome

Please include:
1. Your résumé as a PDF. No cover letter needed.
2. A link to a 90-second video — unlisted YouTube, Google Drive, or Loom. Please send a link, not an attachment. One take, unedited; a phone camera is fine.
In the video, answer these two questions: 1. In about 40 seconds: You’re meeting the owner of a baby products store. Why should they carry a thermometer that plugs into a phone, and what would make them say yes?
2. In about 40 seconds: Tell us about something you started that nobody asked you to.
Applications that don’t follow these instructions won’t be reviewed. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to the next hiring step.
