We place technical project managers, AI specialists, and transformation leaders into key roles, helping companies bridge capability gaps and execute complex initiatives with confidence.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Sales Director to help us grow by building strong client relationships and placing high-caliber consulting talent into enterprise and mid-market organizations. If you’ve sold consulting services, technology solutions, system integration, or outsourcing before, and you have a strong network, this could be a great fit.

• Sell consulting placements and engagements, focusing on technical project managers, AI specialists, and digital transformation consultants.

• Leverage your existing network to create opportunities and land & expand within key accounts.

• Negotiate and close consulting placements, ensuring alignment between client needs and consultant expertise.

• Stay ahead of hiring trends in AI, automation, and digital transformation.

• Represent CognaCore at industry events, networking functions, and client meetings.

Basic Qualifications

• A minimum of five years of sales experience in consulting, technology services, system integration, or outsourcing.

• At least one year of experience selling within the digital transformation or artificial intelligence space.

• A proven track record of generating at least $1 million in annual consulting sales for a minimum of two years.

• An established network of enterprise and mid-market clients seeking consulting talent.

• Strong consultative selling skills with the ability to assess client needs and develop tailored solutions.

• A self-motivated and independent approach to building a pipeline and closing deals.

• A bachelor’s degree in business, sales, marketing, or a related field.

• Willingness to travel as needed within the United States.

Compensation & Benefits

• Above-market commission structure with uncapped earning potential.

• 100% remote role with the flexibility to work from anywhere.

• Work with leading researchers and industry experts in AI, automation, and security as part of CognaCore’s research and advisory bench.

• Join a team that values expertise, relationships, and results.
