Business Development Associate (Part-time, Commission)
First seen by Alion on Oct 12, 2026.
Most small businesses in Singapore run on Excel, WhatsApp, paper and a few apps that don't talk to each other. We fix that. cmdtempo builds one custom app that runs a business's admin, like invoices, payments, attendance and customer messages, all in one place.
Our first client, a tuition centre, went from 6 tools to 1 app. Now we're looking for someone to help us bring that to many more businesses.
We're starting with Singapore. One day, we want to be the app every small business runs on. (Big dreams, we know!)
Let's be upfront
We're early. There's no fixed salary at the start.
But here's what there is: a real product, a paying client, and a clear plan for how your pay grows as we grow.
As our founding sales partner, we genuinely want you to succeed when we succeed.
We're looking for someone who gets excited by that, not scared by it.
What you'll do
- Find and reach out to small business owners, starting with tuition centres
- Sit down with them, understand how they run things, and show them what's possible
- Shape the solution with our team. Every app is custom, so you're part salesperson, part problem-solver
- Close the deal, then hand the client over to our team for the build
What you'll earn
- 18% to 25% of every build fee you sell. The more you close in a month, the higher your rate on all of them
- S$720 to S$3,000 per sale
- Hit S$55,000 in sales and you move to a part-time salary plus commission
- From there, your salary is reviewed regularly and grows with the company. As we grow, longer contracts follow
The deal
Your own hours, hybrid in Singapore, no quotas. We find around 8 hours a week works well, ideally with some weekday mornings/evenings free for meetings.
Stop anytime with 2 weeks' notice.
You'll be great at this if you
- Are driven and self-starting
- Enjoy talking to people, especially business owners who aren't techy
- Can explain things simply, without jargon
- Are curious about how businesses actually work
- Are comfortable with commission-only pay at the start, and motivated by building something
Nice to have
- You know people who own small businesses, especially tuition centres
- You speak Mandarin or a dialect. Many owners will appreciate it
- Some sales, business development or consulting experience. Not required, we'll train you
