Job description

Ready to Pivot Your Career? Your Path to Tech Starts Here.

Are you an exceptional communicator with a passion for people, currently working in a customer-facing role like retail, hospitality, or traditional sales? Do you feel stuck in a transactional job and dream of a lucrative, future-proof career in the booming tech industry, but lack the "tech background"?

This is your chance to make a structured, supported career pivot. We are actively seeking a Local AI Business Development Trainee - not a coder, but a natural connector-to join our team. We believe your existing people skills are the most valuable asset, and we will provide the comprehensive training, mentorship, and financial stability you need to transition into the B2B technology sector.

Your job is to be the sales evangelist, community builder, and strategic connector in Phoenix, leveraging your natural ability to build rapport and understand customer needs.

What This Job Is All About : A Supported Transition

This is a mentorship-driven, educational sales role designed for career changers. We don't expect you to be an AI expert on day one. We pay you to learn and build relationships.

  • We provide the structure for your success :
  • Focus on Conversation : Your daily work involves talking to business owners in the Phoenix area, understanding their challenges, and showing them the potential of AI. This is a relationship-first approach, not a pushy, transactional sales job.
  • Mentorship at Every Step : You will have direct, weekly coaching to review your pipeline, role-play sales calls, and co-host your first community events. We ensure you never feel lost.
  • Leverage Your People Skills : You succeed by being curious, helpful, and consistently present in the community. You are the bridge between local businesses and our world-class team that delivers AI solutions.

Your Structured On-Ramp to Tech

We have built a 6-month program to ensure your successful transition :

  • Financial Stability : A $2,000 / month guaranteed base salary for the first 3 months, followed by a $2,000 / month draw against commission for months 4-6. This provides stability as you build your pipeline and master the role.
  • Comprehensive Training : Immediate access to our full library of pre-recorded AI and Business training modules. You will learn the AI landscape from the ground up.
  • Full Tech Stack & Branding : We provide all the professional tools (Otter.ai, Zoom, Manus, etc.) and marketing assets (your own website, email, swag) to establish your professional brand in the Phoenix market immediately.
  • A Day in the Life (Learning & Growing)

  • Morning : You start your day with the "Core Loop" : having 5+ conversations about AI with local business owners. You then post your insights on LinkedIn, building your personal brand as the go-to AI expert in Phoenix, guided by your mentor.
  • Afternoon : You attend a local networking event, like a chamber of commerce meeting or a tech meetup, learning how to apply our "Event-to-Gamma" strategy to turn conversations into valuable leads.
  • Evening : You host the casual Weekly AI Meetup for the Phoenix community, with your mentor's support, creating a loyal following and a consistent source of leads.
  • What We're Looking For : Transferable Skills

    We're not looking for a specific degree or tech experience. We're looking for transferable skills and the right attitude. You might come from retail, hospitality, teaching, or any role where you excelled at :

  • Connecting with People : You are naturally curious and love helping people articulate their ideas or work through a problem out loud.
  • Grit and Drive : You are hungry to learn the AI landscape and want to build something meaningful.
  • Professional Inquisitiveness : You are eager to learn what makes a business tick.
  • The Bottom Line

    If you are ready to leave the transactional world behind and step onto a clear, supported path into the lucrative B2B technology sector, this is your opportunity. We provide the training, the mentorship, and the financial stability-you bring the people skills and the drive.

    This is a conversation-led, curiosity-fueled, and relationship-first role.

    Apply today, and let's talk about how we can help you make the most important career pivot of your life!
