Membership Sales Specialist (English-speaking) | Remote, Colombia | COP 2,000,000 + uncapped commission
Every month, dozens of researchers from around the world sign up to our platform. Your job is to talk to them and turn them into paying members. This is not cold prospecting: the leads are already here.

*Contract*
Services contract (prestación de servicios), 100% remote from anywhere in Colombia. No fixed hours: you work to targets, not to a clock. The first 3 months have clear targets. Hit them and the contract continues directly with ScienceBank.

How fast you reach new sign-ups, enquiries answered, conversations held and memberships closed. If you want a fixed income without targets, this role isn't for you.
*You*

- 1+ year in consultative sales, customer success, university admissions or target-based customer service, with results you can show in numbers.
- Confident on video calls with professors and researchers.
- Self-managed and reliable working remotely, with a good internet connection.
