Evening: You host a private, executive-level roundtable on "AI for Operational Excellence," positioning yourself as a thought leader and cultivating a pipeline of strategic opportunities.
What We're Looking For: Proven Expertise and Leadership We are looking for a professional with a
proven track record of success
in a field requiring high-stakes communication, strategic thinking, and complex deal negotiation. You may have a background in management consulting, B2B enterprise sales, financial services, or a similar domain where trust and expertise are paramount.
You are driven by the pursuit of
mastery and significant contribution . You have a profound intellectual curiosity about AI and a desire to be a first-mover in shaping its commercial application. You are ready to apply your accumulated wisdom to a new, high-growth challenge.

Strategic On-Ramp: A $2,000/month guaranteed base salary for the first 3 months, followed by a $2,000/month draw against commission for months 4-6. This provides a stable foundation as you establish your strategic pipeline.
Uncapped Earning Potential: After the on-ramp, you transition to a straight commission model designed for top-tier earners, featuring 50% commission on upfront projects (average $10k, so $5k commission) and 25% recurring commission on monthly retainers. Your earning potential is directly tied to your strategic impact.
Elite Support System: Access to our full library of advanced AI and Business strategy modules, a dedicated technical liaison, and a full suite of professional tools (Otter.ai, Zoom, Manus, proprietary knowledge base).

Direct Mentorship & Peer Review: Weekly, high-level coaching calls focused on strategic pipeline review, advanced negotiation tactics, and co-hosting your first executive roundtables.
