Employment Model Disclosure

Roles may be structured as independent contractor, commission-based, or at-will employment arrangements depending on the position. Compensation is not guaranteed and may be contingent on successfully executed agreements and received payments.

Open Positions

Founding Enterprise Sales Lead

Remote (U.S.) Commission-First (20% Upfront + 5% Recurring)

Standards & Ethics Notice: As an organization operating within a standards-based certification framework, we maintain strict separation between sales activity and certification or accreditation decisions. No role may imply guaranteed outcomes, preferential treatment, or influence over certification determinations.

We are building the first independent accreditation and certification framework for the U.S. grill service industry. This role is an opportunity to help define—and then lock in—the industry standard at the franchisor level.

About the Role

You will lead enterprise conversations with a small number of high-impact organizations and help establish early adoption that creates lasting competitive pressure across the market. This is a founder-led, first-mover opportunity with no direct competitors offering a comparable, independent accreditation program.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

No crowded market: We are defining a category, not replacing a SaaS tool.
Few, high-value customers: Targeted outreach to known franchisors, not mass outbound.
Durable product: Value compounds year over year; not software that becomes obsolete.
Direct founder access: Work directly with leadership—no layers or politics.

Initial Named Target Accounts

Bar-B-Clean
The BBQ Cleaner

Compensation Structure

This role is commission-first by design. Compensation is paid only after revenue is received.

Up-Front: 20% of first-year contract value (Paid upon receipt).
Recurring: 5% annual commission on ongoing accreditation fees (Paid as long as client is active).
Expected Earnings: Closing initial targets can yield $30k–$50k+ upfront, plus recurring trails.
Draw: A recoverable draw may be available for the right candidate.

Candidate Requirements

Reside in the United States or be a recent U.S. expatriate.
Enterprise, franchise, or B2B services sales experience.
Comfort with commission-first compensation.
Ability to sell credibility without exaggeration.

How to Apply

Please email a brief introduction outlining your relevant experience, comfort with commission-first roles, and why this opportunity is compelling to you.
