Position: Business Ambassador (North Fork Region)
Help build a resilient local economy by forging partnerships that matter.
We are stilll pre-revenue. We’re open to a volunteer or deferred revenue arrangement. We expect to be making money and able to pay this position within 6-12 months see our roadmap for details. Feel free to talk to us and tell us about your background even if you need payment day 1. We will get there!
About the Role
We’re looking for a Business Ambassador with deep roots in the North Fork Valley—someone who thrives on relationships, is naturally curious about what makes local organizations tick, and sees opportunity in conversation. You are a connector, and you know who we should talk to to build alliances for mutual benefit.
We’re looking for someone who can approach new partners with invitation, listening, and collaboration. Your job isn’t to push products. It’s to find alignment between what we offer and what our partners need—then hand off the technical bits to our Automation Specialist so they’re up and running with minimal effort.
What You’ll Do
- Reach out to local orgs: Chambers of Commerce, Rotary/Elks Clubs, business directories, etc.
- Encourage use of The County Fence (see Getting Started to understand what we offer)
- Propose partnerships that could include:
- Promoting local businesses, events, and community
- Offering our automation tools to import Google calendars, business websites, or Facebook pages
- Encouraging organizations to send their press releases to stories@countyfence.org
- Look for mutual wins, including paid engagements or sponsorships for us
- Track relationships, follow up, and make sure our partners are thriving
- Inform the team of tools or features we can build that will create new business models for us
About You
- You live in and have deep ties in the North Fork Valley
- You’re a great listener and a generous connector
- You’re energized by one-on-one conversations and love meeting new people
- You enjoy helping people see the value in something without “selling” it
- You’re motivated by long-term relationships, not quick wins
- You have some business background and can empathize with an business owner’s priorities and sensibilities
You’ll be backed up by a technical specialist who handles setup and integration. You don’t need to have technical expertise, but you do need to be patient and understanding when working with our technical team.
How We Work
Our team values openness, clarity, and personal growth. We make decisions collaboratively. We support each other’s strengths, and we believe that a role should evolve to fit the person—not the other way around. If you find traction in unexpected areas, we’ll encourage you to run with it.
We’re still in our early stages. You’ll be joining a team of highly motivated people who do what’s necessary to accomplish the mission. We may not always know what’s coming next, but it’s our faith and trust in each other that will see us through. If you have faith in a higher power, we welcome that too. But not required. Good people come from all walks of life.
Compensation
- See note at the beginning - we are pre-revenue. If you can help us become post-revenue we would be extremely grateful.
- Base salary plus graduated commission on active paid partnerships
- Commission model designed to reward depth over volume
- You, along with the rest of the team, will have input into the compensation model and amount
- As we grow, profit-sharing or team bonuses will reflect collective success
- This is a full-time role based in the North Fork; regional Ambassador roles may follow as we expand
Thanks so much for your interest! We hope to hear from you soon!
