Interdependence

Job Description

Job Description

Senior Sales Closer — AI-Powered SEO and GEO Solutions Base: Base: $120K–$150K | OTE: $155K–$185K | Top Performers: $200K+ (Uncapped)
Full-Time | Individual Contributor

WHO WE ARE

The PR industry hasn't really changed in fifty years. Relationships, lunches, luck, and a clip report at the end of the month.

Interdependence is rebuilding it from the ground up. Interviewed, our proprietary platform, analyzes 300,000+ stories every day across a network of 250,000 journalists. We turn earned media into something measurable, repeatable, and worth paying for — and apply the same data and discipline across paid, social, content, and brand. Integrated marketing run by one team, on one system, accountable to one result.

Forbes named us one of America's Best PR Agencies. Our 100+ person team works with brands, CMOs, founders, and entrepreneurs across consumer, healthcare, tech, B2B, travel and entertainment.

We move fast. The best argument wins. We hire for sharp thinking, real craft, and ownership from day one. If you want comfortable, this isn't the place. If you want to win, build with us.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We hand you a full calendar of qualified prospects every day. You close. No prospecting. No cold calling. No pipeline generation. No RFP writing. No conference schmoozing. Your only job is to get on Zoom, run the conversation, and close.

Our top-performing closers earn $200K+ annually. Here's the math: 8 deals/month at an average of $7,000 MRR ($84K ACV) with accelerators and retention bonuses. The commission is uncapped. The leads are provided. The product sells. You just have to be the person who can close it.

If you're currently spending 30–50% of your time generating your own pipeline, imagine what you could do with that time back. That's what this role offers.

WHAT WE DO

Interdependence is the fastest growing AI-powered firm that helps companies improve their visibility in search. We provide Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) services designed to increase organic rankings and ensure brands are discoverable across both traditional search engines and emerging AI-driven search experiences.

What makes us different: we guarantee results. Our work focuses on improving search authority, optimizing technical and content signals that influence rankings, and positioning companies so they appear in relevant search results and AI-generated answers.

We typically work with VPs of Marketing, CMOs, and CEOs at companies with 50–200+ employees across a range of industries. Our average engagement is $3–15K/month, with deals ranging from $5K to $20K/month. We are scaling and need closers who want to be part of that run.

THE ROLE

You will run 4–5 qualified sales presentations per day over Zoom with decision-makers who have already expressed interest. The sales cycle is 2 calls: Call 1 is discovery and qualification. Call 2 is a customized proposal and close. The typical cycle is 30–60 days.

Your monthly target is 8 closed deals. Our team writes the proposal, and you schedule the close. You are supported by a sales coach, a proposal team, and a leadership team that has built and scaled this motion across multiple brands.

This is an individual contributor closing role. You are not managing a team. You are not building a pipeline. You are not writing decks or attending conferences. You are closing. Every day, all day. If that sounds like the best job in the world to you, keep reading.

WHAT YOU'LL SELL

Interdependence's core offering of SEO and Generative Engine Optimization programs ranging from $3K–$15K/month . But you won't be limited to one motion. Top performers sell integrated solutions depending on the client's growth priorities.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) — advanced search visibility strategy focused on improving rankings, building domain authority, and driving sustained organic traffic from high-intent searches.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — next-generation search visibility for the AI era, helping companies appear in AI-generated answers and recommendation engines where more discovery is happening.

AI-Powered PR & Earned Media Placement — technology-driven earned media that outperforms every traditional agency. Performance-guaranteed.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You've closed deals at our price point. Previous average deal of $3K–$15K/month ($36K–$180K ACV). You know what it takes to get a CEO to commit $6-8K/month because you've done it.

You close 5–8 deals per month, personally. Your deals, your name on the board. You know your close rate, deal size, and monthly count without looking it up.

You sell to marketing decision-makers. VPs of Marketing, CMOs, or CEOs at 50–200+ person companies. You speak their language.

You've sold services, not just software. Agency retainers, consulting, managed services and you understand the consultative motion that comes with recurring spend.

You thrive on volume. 8 deals at $6-8K beats one whale at $40-50K. A packed Zoom calendar excites you.

You qualify hard. You've walked away from closable deals because the client was a bad fit. We pay retention bonuses because we want closers who care about what happens after the signature.

PR knowledge is not required. We teach the domain in 30 days. What we can't teach is how to close at $8K/month. Bring the skill. We handle the rest.

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF

Enterprise seller stepping down — if your average deal was $500K+ with 6–12 month cycles, this is a different motion.

You want to manage a team — this is IC. If you're here as a stepping stone to VP, we're not the right fit.

Relationship-first seller — if you need 6–9 months before asking for the business, our 2-call close will feel uncomfortable.

Previous deals under $3K/month — the $8K conversation requires executive presence that smaller deals don't demand.

HOW TO APPLY

Send your resume and a short note with three things:

  1. Your average deal size (MRR or ACV) and how many you closed per month at your most recent role.
  2. Your target total compensation and how you'd expect base vs. variable to split.
  3. One sentence on why you want to close instead of manage.

No cover letter essays. Just the numbers and the reason. If the numbers are right, we'll be on a Zoom within 48 hours. We move fast, we don't ghost, and we'll tell you directly whether it's a fit.
