Enterprise Sales / Business Development Consultant (Commission-Based)

About VMG Studios

VMG Studios is a creative production partner for enterprise brands, turning strategy into high-quality creative execution across video, animation, and design. We work with teams that care about craft, speed, and results.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional “Business Development Manager” role—and it’s not a high-volume outbound job. We’re building a Fortune 1000 Connector lane: someone with credible, current enterprise relationships who can open the right doors and create qualified momentum. VMG runs discovery, scoping, pricing, and close. You get paid for generating qualified lead meetings, and outcomes. If you’re great at activating relationships and getting the right people to say “yes, let’s talk,” you’ll thrive here.

If you will own

• Identify and prioritize introductions to qualified target accounts (people → teams → budget owners)
• Make warm introductions (or tee them up with context and positioning)
• Get qualified meetings held with the right stakeholders
• Provide clear handoff context: why this person, why now, what they care about
• Provide VMG with our agency narrative/capabilities, a deck/one-pager, a reel, and the enablement you need to confidently make warm intros

What you will not own

• Full-cycle selling: discovery, scoping, pricing, proposals, negotiation
• Long-cycle account or project management
• Closing (unless we mutually expand scope later based on role)

Success Looks Like (30-day rhythm)

• 5–8 qualified warm introductions per month into target accounts
• 2–4 qualified meetings held per month (what you're paid on)
• Clear handoff notes so the VMG team can take over and move fast

Warm Introduction (definition)

A warm intro is when you personally connect VMG to someone you have an existing relationship with (past colleague, partner, client, or trusted contact) and you make the introduction directly—by email/LinkedIn/message—with context on why it's relevant.

Compensation (Incentive-Based)

OPTION: This is an independent contractor role with performance-based earnings (not a salary role). You'll be compensated for qualified meetings held and additional success-based incentives for closed work you originate. Full details are shared with candidates who move forward in the application process.

Payment timing

Success fees are paid after the contract is signed and the first client payment is received.

Who We’re Looking For

This role is for people who already sit near enterprise decision-makers and know how to activate relationships. Must-haves:

• A credible, current network in Fortune 1000 / mid-enterprise environments
• A clear ability to explain your relationship activation approach (cadence, messaging, follow-up)
• Comfort with transparency, measurement, and outcome-based incentives
• A professionalism and discretion with enterprise stakeholders
• You understand where the budget lives (product marketing, brand, marketing ops, comms, HR/L&D, events, etc.)

Ideal backgrounds

• Current/former Fortune 1000 product marketing, brand/integrated marketing, comms, HR/L&D enablement, events
• People who have influenced buying decisions and can create warm paths into budget owners
