Sales Agent – United States (freelance)

Nexio Projects • New York, NY

2d • Remote

About The Position

Nexio Projects is looking for an independent, full-cycle Sales Agent to develop new business in the US. You will introduce Nexio’s sustainability advisory and implementation services to relevant organizations, develop trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, and manage opportunities from first conversation through to signed engagement. This role is suited either to an experienced sustainability professional with a strong US network or to a commercially minded business development professional with experience in EcoVadis, climate, ESG, consulting, or another complex B2B services environment.

Hi, we’re Nexio Projects! 🌍

We help people and organizations take their next steps towards a more sustainable future. Day to day, that means cutting through the complexity of sustainability management and reporting so our clients can make bold commitments – and act on them.
As a sustainability consultancy of 45+ people headquartered in Rotterdam, we serve hundreds of international mid-market clients across EcoVadis, B Corp, CDP, CSRD and net-zero strategy. We're a certified B Corp (the highest-scoring B Corp consultancy in the Benelux), a certified Great Place To Work® and a Platinum EcoVadis strategic consulting partner. We practice what we advise, and we hire people who combine technical seriousness with a light touch: human, humble, hardworking, and allergic to taking themselves too seriously.

This is an independent, commission-led opportunity rather than an employment role. It is suited to entrepreneurial, ambitious salespeople who want the flexibility to develop their own market and earn based on the business they generate. If you're driven by results and care about sustainability, we'll give you the platform and flexibility to own your success.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of proven B2B sales experience, ideally in consulting, sustainability, or ESG services
• Based in the US, with an established commercial network there, and able to contract as a self-employed agent
• A solid understanding of corporate sustainability, including carbon accounting, supply chain ESG, and ratings like EcoVadis
• A natural relationship builder who speaks the language of procurement teams, sustainability leads, and executive decision-makers
• Strong commercial instinct, and comfortable navigating complex sales cycles
• Comfortable working independently and remotely, while staying connected to an international team
• Organized, results-oriented, and at home in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments
• Comfortable managing HubSpot, maintaining an accurate pipeline, and working towards clear commercial objectives.
• Above all, you care about sustainability and want your work to make a positive impact.
