Overview

NGT Academy was founded by Air Force veterans on the belief that education should prepare people for the workforce the same way military training does, with real-world skills instead of four years of debt for a degree that doesn't teach what employers actually need. We're on a mission to place 1 million people into tech careers by 2030, and we need closers who can turn conversations into career transformations. This is a commission-only 1099 contractor role for experienced sales professionals who bet on themselves. You'll own the full enrollment conversation from first call to close, working via Zoom with prospects who've already expressed interest in changing their careers. The product has 800+ five-star Trustpilot reviews, so your job is helping the right people say yes. Fully remote; our team spans the United States, Canada, and Europe. If you're confident in your ability to close, keep reading.
