Inside Sales Representative - IT Career Advisor
IT, Sales & Business Development
Austin, TX, USA · Remote
100% commission, no base salary. This is a 1099 independent contractor role with uncapped earnings. If you want a base salary, this isn't the role.
NGT Academy was founded by Air Force veterans on the belief that education should prepare people for the workforce the way military training does — real skills instead of four years of debt for a degree that doesn't teach what employers 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.
You'll own the full enrollment conversation from first call to close, working over Zoom with prospects who have already raised their hand about changing careers. The product carries 800+ five-star Trustpilot reviews, so the work is helping the right people say yes — not manufacturing interest. Fully remote, with a team across the United States and Canada.
