Chief Revenue Officer (Performance-Based, US Market)

Remote | Recurring commission to start, with a clear path to a retainer and a leadership role

Read this first

This role starts on a performance-based model. You earn recurring commission (MRR) on every client you bring in and close, with no fixed salary in the first phase. Once you have closed 2 to 3 clients, we add a fixed monthly retainer on top of your commissions, and the path opens to a long-term strategic partnership or a leadership seat as our Chief Revenue Officer.

We are not looking for a sales trainer or advisor. We want someone who will personally run outreach, open conversations and close deals.

About Geekynd

Geekynd is a remote staffing and outsourcing company. We give small and mid-sized businesses dedicated, English-speaking teams that work as an extension of their own staff. We serve clients in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, with the US as our primary market.

What we deliver:

• Customer support across chat, email and calling
• Virtual assistance and virtual receptionist services
• Back-office operations and accounts support
• IT support
• Digital marketing
• AI automation layered on top of human teams

We run 24/7 from our delivery centre in Guwahati, India, with a US entity, a New York address and a US phone line. Our core customers include home services companies, clinics and dental practices, real estate firms and e-commerce businesses. Plans start at $749 per month, and a $299 pilot lets new clients test us with low risk.

We are an early-stage company. The person in this seat will shape how we sell, not inherit a finished playbook.

The role

You will own Geekynd's international sales engine, starting with the US. This is hands-on: you find the clients, start the conversations, run the sales process and close the deal. As results come in, you will help design the strategy, team and processes that let us scale.

What you will do

• Identify and qualify potential clients, primarily US-based small and mid-sized businesses
• Run B2B outreach across LinkedIn, email, phone and your own network
• Generate qualified leads and build a pipeline you can forecast with confidence
• Lead discovery calls, understand each prospect's operational pain, and position the right Geekynd

solution

• Prepare proposals, handle objections, negotiate terms and close deals
• Hand over closed clients smoothly to our delivery team so they onboard well and stay
• Track your pipeline and results, and share honest weekly updates with the founder
• Over time, help shape pricing, packaging, the sales process and the future sales team

How compensation works

Phase one, performance-based: recurring monthly commission on the revenue from every client you bring in and close. No fixed pay.

Phase two, after 2 to 3 closed clients: a fixed monthly retainer plus your recurring commissions.

Phase three, long term: a strategic partnership or a leadership role as Chief Revenue Officer.

Commission terms are shared and agreed with shortlisted candidates.

Why we structured it this way

As a startup, we hear from a lot of sales professionals. Our biggest challenge has been finding people who deliver results rather than promises. This model rewards the people who can actually close, and lets both sides benefit from the revenue they create together.

What we offer

• Recurring income that grows with every client you close
• A fixed retainer once you have proven results
• A genuine path to partnership or the CRO seat
• Direct access to the founder and fast decisions
• A delivery team already in place, so you sell instead of building the service
• A low-risk pilot offer that makes first conversations easier to convert
• Fully remote work

Who we are looking for

• A proven B2B closer with a record you can verify: deals closed, deal sizes and references
• Experience selling services to US businesses. Outsourcing, BPO, staffing, IT services or agency sales is a strong plus
• Comfortable running the full cycle yourself, from first touch to signed contract
• Confident on calls and video meetings with US business owners and decision makers
• Able to handle the objections that come with an offshore team and turn them into trust
• An entrepreneurial mindset: you think like an owner and want to build something, not fill a seat
• Self-directed, disciplined and honest about your numbers
• Available during US business hours
• An existing network among US small business owners is a big advantage

This is not the right role if you

• Need a fixed salary from day one
• Mainly want to train, coach or advise a sales team rather than sell yourself
• Only want to work leads that someone else generates
• Cannot show deals you have personally sourced and closed

How to apply

Apply through Wellfound with a short note that covers:

Two or three B2B deals you personally sourced and closed, with the approximate deal size and sales cycle

The industries and markets you have sold into, especially in the US

How you would land Geekynd's first 3 clients in your first 90 days

How you would respond to a US business owner who says they do not want to work with an offshore team in India

Applications without specific examples of closed deals will not be considered. Shortlisted candidates will have a call with our founder.
