Why you might be excited:
We’re tackling a big problem with even bigger potential.
To start, you’ll be able to work remotely.
Empire was a remote-first team even before COVID, so we know what makes for a great remote environment.
You’ll have a lot of flexibility in your role, and will be able to help define our culture and operations infrastructure going forward.
Why you might *not* be excited:
We’re small (~20 people in the company now), so if you like more established companies, this role isn’t for you.
You’ll help create our company’s culture.
We’re an early stage startup.
Projects and priorities are likely to shift.
Everyone on the team is extremely mission-driven, and works incredibly hard to push towards our lofty ambitions.
Most people won’t be cut out for it.
You should be comfortable with just a dash of chaos.
This is not the kind of job where you show up and we tell you exactly what to do every day.
Empire is an unabashedly pro-startup, pro-tech organization.
If that’s not your thing, this isn’t the place for you.
Compensation
This role is that of a contractor with a commission structure paid on personal revenue.
We believe you should have no problem closing 30 clients within your first 6 months and then 10 clients per month after that.
Our efforts, consisting of only leveraging our personal networks, have produced up to 50 clients closed per month.
Our commission structure is as follows: Your first 1-15 clients will earn you $5,000 for each successful close
– a purchased Ecommerce automation store.
Your next 16-30 clients will earn you $7,000 for each successful close.
Your next 31-45 clients will earn you $8500 for each successful close.
From your 46 client onwards, you will earn $10,000 for each successful close
– resetting after a 12-month period marked by your contract anniversary.

Our team works in beautiful and sunny San Diego and are currently looking for a remote-based individuals to represent us in various metropolitan markets.
If you were to join Empire, we’d want you to really love it.
We also know that it can be hard to tell from the outside looking in whether that would be the case for you.
So, we challenged ourselves to come up with an honest set of reasons someone wouldn’t and maybe shouldn’t want to join our company.
We hope the list below helps you make an informed decision about whether Empire is a place you’d love to work.
• Another company’s mission would get you way more fired up
• You want a 9-5 job
• You do your best work in highly-structured, steady-paced, meticulously-planned environments
• You like finding and poking holes more than you like filling them
• You see differences as divisions
• You’re too cool for what’s mainstream
If the above list isn’t you, we can’t wait to hear from you.
Best,
The Empire Team
