Company Overview:
Sapyen is a venture-backed MedTech company transforming male fertility testing. We’ve created the world’s most accurate, affordable, and convenient at-home male fertility test, backed by nearly $10M in funding from some of the world’s best venture and institutional investors.
Historically, pregnancy testing was a complex, costly procedure requiring clinical visits. The advent of the over-the-counter pregnancy test revolutionized this, enhancing accessibility and ensuring accuracy at lower costs. Today, with diagnostic testing influencing about 70% of healthcare decisions (WHO), the availability of these tests is pivotal. Sapyen extends this revolution to male fertility, aiming to make it as straightforward and accessible as a pregnancy test. We envision a world where men can assess their reproductive health with precision, affordability, and ease, eliminating the need for lab visits and removing barriers to obtaining crucial health insights.
Outcomes We’ve Generated Over the Last 12 Months:
- $45.5M in exclusive distribution agreements with the world’s largest IVF clinics secured within 12 months
- Stocked in 180+ pharmacies as the first-ever clinical-grade male fertility test to reach shelves anywhere in the world
- Named Australia’s Most Innovative Healthcare Company 2024 by the Australian Financial Review
- 2 pending patents extending sperm viability from 1 hour to 3 days, ensuring accurate results
- Backed by leading global venture funds across the United Kingdom, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia
Job Description:
The Sales and Marketing Associate will report into the CEO to start, and may report to another executive in the future. This is a cross-functional administrative role that works alongside much of the team in coordinating various business aspects from marketing, sales, to general executive support.

We’re a small, bold team setting a new standard in fertility care—writing the playbook on diagnostics, patient experience, and male fertility solutions. Here, you won’t just follow; you’ll define how we operate.

We’re audacious problem-solvers. Despite male-factor issues contributing to 50% of fertility challenges, there hasn’t been a truly accurate, affordable, and convenient way to test male fertility.

At Sapyen, your work will have a genuine, measurable impact.
-
