Sales Representative (Commission-Based)

Sales Representative (Commission-Based, 40%, No Cap)
Severance.AI | Remote, United States | 1099 Contract

About Severance.AI:
Companies spend $2,000 to $7,000 per employee on outplacement, yet it usually covers only senior staff and mostly goes unused. Severance.AI gives every departing employee a private, AI-built job-search workspace, ready within minutes of the employer uploading the roster. The employer pays, the employee owns the workspace, and both parties walk away satisfied.

The role:
You'd be our first sales hire and own the full cycle from first contact to signed order. I handle the product, and you handle revenue.

What you'll do:

• Find prospects using public WARN Act layoff filings and companies that need a standing transition vendor
• Reach HR decision-makers by phone, email and LinkedIn
• Run product walkthroughs over video call
• Negotiate and close event orders and annual contracts across our pricing plans
• Keep a simple record of your outreach and pipeline

What you need:

• Experience or ability selling to HR, benefits or workforce-services buyers
• Comfort with phone outreach and live video walkthroughs
• The ability to work independently and close deals on your own
• Authorization to work in the US

Nice to have

• A background in outplacement, HR tech, staffing or benefits
• Existing relationships with HR leaders at companies with 100+ employees
• Experience working on commission or against a quota

What you get

• 40% commission on money collected from customers you bring in and close, covering every order they place in the 12 months after their first one.
• No cap on how much you can earn
• If you leave, you're still paid on your customers for the rest of their 12-month window
• A working product from day one and a direct line to the founder

Terms:
1099 independent contractor, 90-day initial trial, and a written commission agreement signed before you start.

How to apply:
Email [email protected] with a short summary of your sales experience, including deal sizes you've closed yourself and any HR relationships you have. No cover letter needed.
