What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tech Career Pivot: AI Consultant Trainee (Boulder-Denver) position at Refer.io?
Ready to Pivot? Your New Career in AI Starts Here.
Are you an exceptional communicator who has mastered the art of service, relationship-building, or sales in a fast-paced environment like retail, hospitality, or teaching? Do you feel ready to apply your natural people skills to a more lucrative, future-proof career in the B2B technology sector?
We are looking for motivated individuals ready to make a successful career pivot into the booming world of Artificial Intelligence. As an AI Consultant Trainee, your background is your strength-you already know how to connect with people. We will provide the comprehensive training, mentorship, and structured on-ramp you need to become the most visible, helpful, and connected AI expert in the Boulder-Denver business community. Your job is to be a relationship builder, a community organizer, and a guided consultant. You are the essential link between local businesses and our expert team that delivers AI solutions.
This is a unique, supportive opportunity designed specifically for those transitioning into tech, offering a clear, structured path to success and uncapped, recurring income.
The Structured Path to Tech Success
This is a mentorship-driven, educational sales role. We don't expect you to be an AI expert on day one. We pay you to learn and build relationships. Your daily work involves engaging with business owners in the Boulder-Denver area, using our proven conversation frameworks to understand their operations and identify where AI can help. You succeed by being curious, coachable, and consistently present in the community. We will train you to be a business journalist, an interviewer, and a process consultant all in one. You find the stories, identify the pain, and introduce the solution-which our team then delivers.
This is not a high-pressure, transactional sales job. It is about building trust, creating value, and establishing a long-term, sustainable career.
Your Supported On-Ramp: Learn, Build, Earn
- Morning: You start your day with the "Core Loop": having 5 conversations about AI with local business owners, guided by your mentor. You then post your insights on LinkedIn, building your personal brand with our provided content templates.
- Afternoon: You attend a local networking event, like a chamber of commerce meeting or a tech meetup, with a senior consultant. You learn our "Event-to-Gamma" strategy for turning casual conversations into qualified leads.
- Evening: You assist in hosting the casual Weekly AI Meetup, gaining hands-on experience in community building and lead generation.
What We're Looking For: Transferable Skills
We are looking for the right attitude, not the perfect resume. If you have a background in customer-facing roles-sales, service, teaching, or management-you have the core skills we value. What matters most is your ability to connect, your professional curiosity, and your drive to help people articulate their challenges.
You have a genuine interest in AI and are hungry to learn the landscape. You want to build a meaningful career and get in early on a fast-growing, supportive motion.
The Support System: Everything You Need to Succeed
We provide a comprehensive support system to ensure your pivot is successful:
- A 6-Month On-Ramp with Financial Stability: A $2,000/month guaranteed base salary for the first 3 months, followed by a $2,000/month draw against commission for months 4-6. This structure provides stability and peace of mind as you build your new pipeline.
- Uncapped Earning Potential: After the on-ramp, you move to a straight commission model with 50% commission on upfront projects (average $10k, so $5k commission) and 25% recurring commission on monthly retainers. Your earning potential is limitless.
- Comprehensive Training: Access to our full library of pre-recorded AI and Business training modules, designed for the non-technical professional.
- A Full Tech Stack: We provide paid accounts for Otter.ai, Zoom, Manus, and our proprietary knowledge base platform.
- Marketing & Branding Assets: Your own website, email address, and swag to establish your brand in the Boulder-Denver market.
- Direct Mentorship: Weekly coaching calls to review your pipeline, role-play sales calls, and co-host your first roundtables, ensuring you are never alone in your journey.
The Bottom Line: Make the Leap
If you are ready to leverage your exceptional people skills for a high-growth career in tech, and you want a structured, supportive environment to make that leap, we want to talk to you.
This is a conversation-led, curiosity-fueled, and relationship-first role with a clear path to success.
