Sales Contractor (1099) — Full-Cycle / Prospecting Required
Snaju
Houston, TX
About the Role
We're looking for a commission-based Sales Contractor to help grow two connected offerings: Snaju (mission-control/space-focused software and engineering services) and DartNode (cloud, bare metal, colocation, and related infrastructure). This is a full-cycle role; you will prospect, qualify, run discovery, coordinate technical scoping, create proposals, close deals, and support renewals/expansions.
This is a great fit for someone who's comfortable building pipeline from scratch, selling consultative/technical solutions, and earning residual commissions for accounts they bring in.
Responsibilities (Full-Cycle)
Prospecting & pipeline building: identify targets, run outbound (email/phone/LinkedIn), and generate qualified meetings.
Discovery & qualification: understand customer needs, budgets, timelines, and buying processes; confirm technical fit.
Solution selling: position Snaju and DartNode offerings as a complete solution (software + infrastructure) when appropriate.
Deal management: own opportunities end-to-end from first contact to signed agreement.
Proposal creation: build pricing, scope, and terms with internal support; present proposals and handle objections.
Internal coordination: work with technical teams to validate requirements, timelines, and deliverability.
Account growth: support renewals, expansions, add-ons, and long-term relationship management.
Forecasting & reporting: maintain accurate pipeline and activity notes in CRM, including next steps and close dates.

Experience selling B2B services or technical solutions (software, IT, cloud, engineering services, telecom, etc.).

Opportunity for higher commission rates on larger or strategic deals, and for multi-product deals that include both Snaju + DartNode.
