Commercial Partner – Leadership & People
Remote | Flexible | Self-Employed / Commission-Based
Your Network. Our Product. Let's Open Some Doors.
At GYST, we help people Get Your Sh*t Together.
We're not particularly interested in fluffy wellbeing programmes, generic leadership training, or saying impressive-sounding things that don't actually change anything. We build experiences that get underneath how people and teams really operate. One of those experiences is The Meltdown. An immersive leadership experience designed to reveal what happens to communication, decision-making, trust, and teamwork when the pressure is on. And we're looking for a small number of experienced Commercial Partners to help us get it in front of the right people.
This Is Not an SDR Role
Let's get that out of the way.
We are not looking for someone to sit all day building prospect lists, sending hundreds of cold emails, or hammering LinkedIn connection requests.
We're looking for people who have already spent years building relationships.
You might know:
- HR Directors
- Chief People Officers
- Learning & Development leaders
- Managing Directors
- Founders
- CEOs
- Leadership consultants
- Senior decision-makers within growing organisations
Your value isn't how many cold calls you can make. It's knowing which doors are worth opening — and being able to open them.
What We're Looking For
You've probably spent a significant part of your career working with senior business leaders.
Maybe you're:
- A former HR Director or Chief People Officer
- An HR or People Consultant
- A Leadership Consultant
- An Executive Coach
- A former Managing Director
- A Recruitment Director
- An L&D professional
- An Organisational Development consultant
- A fractional People Director
- An experienced commercial leader
- A consultant with an established corporate network
You don't necessarily need to consider yourself a salesperson. In fact, you may not be looking for another "job" at all.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What matters is that you've built genuine relationships with people who trust your judgement.
What You'll Actually Do
Pretty simple.
- Identify: Recognise people and organisations within your network where The Meltdown could genuinely add value.
- Introduce: Open the conversation and make a credible introduction.
- Create the Opportunity: Help us understand the organisation, the decision-maker, and why there might be a fit.
- Hand Over: Our sales team takes care of discovery, proposals, and closing. You're not expected to run the entire sales process. You're opening the right doors.
Why Meltdown?
Everyone thinks they know how their leadership team performs under pressure.
Until they're actually put under pressure.
Meltdown uses an immersive, high-energy experience to expose the behaviours that are normally difficult to see:
- How people communicate when things go wrong
- Who takes control
- Who disengages
- How decisions get made
- Whether people challenge each other
- Whether psychological safety survives when the stakes rise
Then we turn those observations into practical conversations about leadership and team performance. It's not another PowerPoint workshop. It's designed to create a moment people actually remember.
Who You'll Introduce Us To
We're particularly interested in organisations that:
- Employ 50+ people
- Have established leadership or management teams
- Invest in leadership development, culture, or organisational performance
- Are experiencing growth, change, or transformation
- Want something more engaging than traditional leadership training
Your contacts might sit in:
- HR
- People & Culture
- Learning & Development
- Organisational Development
- Operations
- Executive Leadership
- Founder / MD roles
But we're less interested in job titles than we are in the quality of the relationship.
What Success Looks Like
We're not going to measure you on:
- Calls made
- Emails sent
- LinkedIn connections
- Hours worked
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We're interested in:
- Quality introductions.
- Qualified conversations.
- Commercial opportunities.
- Revenue generated.
That's it.
How You'll Be Paid
This is a self-employed, commission-based partnership. We're looking to create a structure where successful introductions result in meaningful financial upside. That means the people who create the greatest commercial value earn the most. Full commission details will be discussed during the conversation.
There is no cap on earnings and the percentage you get grows with the amount of business you bring in.
Why Become a GYST Commercial Partner?
Because you've spent years building relationships, those relationships have value.
We're looking for people who can introduce something genuinely different to their network without feeling like they're suddenly working in a call centre.
You'll get:
- A distinctive product to take to your network
- Full onboarding into Meltdown
- Sales collateral
- Support from our team
- Flexible working
- No fixed hours
- No activity quotas
- No micromanagement
- Uncapped commission
You bring the relationships.
We'll bring the experience and close the opportunity together.
One Important Thing
We're not looking for someone with 10,000 LinkedIn connections they've never spoken to. We're looking for real relationships. People who answer when you call. People who trust your judgement. People where you can comfortably say: "I've come across something I think you should see."
If you've built that kind of network during your career, we'd love to talk.
How to Apply
Forget the traditional cover letter.
Tell us:
- A little about your background
- The types of senior business leaders you've worked with
- The industries or sectors where your network is strongest
- Why Meltdown might be relevant to the people you know
And if your first thought while reading this was:
"I already know three people who'd want to see this..."
We should probably have a conversation.
