Company Description
The Rewiring Lens is a boutique consultancy powered by neuroscience, working at the intersection of science, health, technology, and human performance.
We help health, wellness, technology, and experience-driven companies apply neuroscience to the development of products, services, environments, and experiences.
Our Neuro-Design offering applies neuroscience to the design of environments, services, and experiences for restaurants, hotels, airlines, and other customer-facing businesses. We develop evidence-backed recommendations that can support wellbeing, comfort, performance, enjoyment, and the overall customer experience.
By combining scientific rigor with practical design and strategy, The Rewiring Lens helps organizations translate neuroscience into actionable recommendations they can implement.
Role Description
We are looking for a motivated, entrepreneurial Neuro-Design Business Development Lead to help build and grow our Neuro-Design offering.
This is a commission-based role with significant autonomy and the opportunity to play an important role in developing a new area of the business. You will be responsible for identifying potential clients, developing relationships, introducing them to our Neuro-Design services, and helping convert qualified opportunities into consulting engagements.
Our Neuro-Design work currently focuses on sectors including hospitality, restaurants, and airlines.

You will work closely with the founder to identify potential markets and clients, refine our business development strategy, develop outreach approaches, and communicate the value of Neuro-Design to prospective clients.
The ideal candidate will understand how businesses in hospitality, travel, luxury, experience design, or related industries operate. You should be comfortable building relationships with senior decision-makers and selling a specialized consulting service where the value comes from applying scientific expertise to business and customer experience challenges.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants meaningful ownership over the commercial development of a specialized consulting offering and is excited by the opportunity to help bring a new category of service to market.

Compensation
This is an initial commission-based contractor position with flexible hours, designed to allow the successful candidate to develop the Neuro-Design business alongside their existing professional commitments.
The role will be compensated based on new business generated through the candidate's business development efforts.
As the Neuro-Design offering grows and revenue becomes sustainable, there is potential for the role to expand in scope and transition into a longer-term or full-time position.
Who We're Looking For
We are looking for someone who understands how hospitality, travel, and experience-driven businesses operate and who can identify where neuroscience-informed design could create meaningful value for their customers and business.
