About the job:
I'm the founder of a communications consultancy delivering high-trust work across PR, internal comms, executive thought leadership, inclusive communications, and content. I'm looking for a senior BD contractor who prefers thoughtful relationship-building over high-volume outreach.
What you'll do:
Build and cultivate relationships with founders, C-suite leaders, EDs, and People/HR leaders
Run focused outreach (about 20 tailored contacts/week, no automation or batch pitching)
Partner with me to pitch, scope, and close
Target: 2 to 3 quality contracts over the next 4 to 6 months (we deliver the work; you open the doors)
Where I need you:
Houston and Harris County first. Open to the wider US, but this is where the warm ground is.
Sectors: nonprofit, social enterprise, purpose-driven business, and HR/people leadership.
Out of scope: City of Houston government work and crisis-weighted engagements. Please don't build a pipeline there, I'd have to decline it.
How pricing + approvals work:
You sell from our approved pricing structure, quote and close quickly within pre-approved minimums, and anything below comes to me for review. I confirm start dates and delivery capacity.
Compensation (transparent): 25% of revenue collected, paid when collected. Straight commission, no base salary.
Why this is worth your time:
Warm positioning. You're not pushing a cold product into a crowded market. You're representing work that speaks for itself, to buyers who care about doing it properly.
Direct collaboration. You work with the founder, not through layers. Sound judgment gets heard here.
Freedom to work your own way. No office, no clock, no script. What matters is that the outreach is genuine and the relationships are real.
Best fit:
A consultative seller who's comfortable with ambiguity and a 30 to 90-day advisory sales cycle
A strong writer who can craft outreach that gets opened and answered
An active executive network in Houston and/or purpose-driven sectors
Someone who has sold services, not only products
How to apply:
Two short paragraphs: who you are, the market you can genuinely open, and one organization you'd approach first, and why. Every application is read personally. If we're a fit, the first conversation is 30 minutes, and I'll be direct about where your network is strong and where it isn't.
