Full Job Description
Overview

Advise with credibility. Win with impact.

PEO Sales is where expertise turns into enterprise-level impact. You'll partner with businesses navigating complexity-helping them operate more effectively through a fully bundled HR, benefits, compliance, and risk management solution.

This is not transactional selling-it's strategic. You'll operate as a trusted advisor, leading high-value conversations with executives and solving complex workforce challenges through a co-employment model that delivers enterprise-level capabilities without the overhead.

Every conversation shapes a business. Every deal drives long-term value. Every win builds a career at the highest level of sales.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do
  • Drive new business through prospecting, relationship development, and your professional network
  • Sell a full PEO solution including HR, payroll, benefits, compliance, and risk management
  • Lead consultative, multi-stakeholder conversations with business owners and executive buyers (C-suite, CFO, HR leaders)
  • Manage a strategic sales process with high-value deals and deep discovery
  • Build and leverage referral networks and strategic partnerships
  • Own the full sales cycle-from prospecting and discovery to solution design and close

What It Takes to Win
  • Professional sales experience in PEO, HCM, BPO, staffing, or adjacent industries (SaaS, insurance, financial services)
  • Proven ability to sell in a consultative, relationship-driven environment with complex deals
  • Experience engaging executive-level buyers and navigating multi-stakeholder decisions
  • Strong network and ability to generate business through referrals and relationships
  • Trusted advisor mindset with credibility in risk, compliance, and workforce conversations
  • High ownership, accountability, and drive to win in a competitive, high-value environment


PEO or HCM experience is a plus, not required.

Why This Role
  • Uncapped earning potential with high-value deal sizes
  • Opportunity to operate as a strategic advisor-not just a seller
  • Access to a differentiated, fully bundled solution with strong market demand
  • Work with businesses where your expertise directly impacts outcomes
  • Clear path to advance within a high-performance sales organization


If you're a network-driven seller ready to operate at a higher level, this is where you lead, influence, and win.

Qualifications

  • H.S. Diploma - Required
  • 5 years of experience in Relevant sales/sales management experience or the equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • 2 years of experience in Relevant sales/sales management experience or the equivalent combination of education and experience.
