You’ll often collaborate with IT teams or clients via video calls and chat platforms to discuss scope, methodologies, and results. In addition to hands-on testing, you may spend time updating your knowledge on the latest security threats and tools. The role offers autonomy and flexibility but also requires strong self-management skills to meet project deadlines and maintain clear communication with distributed teams. Over time, successful pen testers can progress to lead roles or broaden their expertise in specialized areas such as red teaming or security consulting.

Contractor

Re-posted 10 days ago

Job description

Location: Remote or NJ-based
Company: Peggnet Computers – Mendham, NJ
Compensation: Commission-Only (20–30% of GP)
Status: 1099 Independent Contractor


Overview:

Peggnet Computers is a battle-tested MSP with over 25 years of credibility in New Jersey’s municipal, education, and small business sectors.

We’re now launching Peggnet Secure360 — our comprehensive vulnerability scanning and security assessment platform — and we need a sales pro who can search out clients and close deals.

If you have experience in sales especially selling cybersecurity, managed services, or compliance-driven IT solutions, this is your opportunity to make real money selling a solution that solves a real problem.

About Peggnet Secure360:

Secure360 is our proprietary suite of quarterly security scans that uncover hidden vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and exploitable risks — before attackers do. It includes:

  • Network Detective Pro scans
  • Vonahi Penetration Testing (Internal & External)
  • VulScan vulnerability scans
  • Executive summaries, technical reports, and remediation roadmaps

Perfect for schools, municipalities, and businesses that require proof of compliance, a roadmap to risk mitigation, and audit readiness — with no long-term contract.

Responsibilities:

  • Prospect and close new clients needing security scans and compliance insight
  • Generate interest through outreach, cold calling, LinkedIn, and networking
  • Present the value of Secure360 via prepared presentations and demos
  • Own your pipeline and drive it to close with full autonomy
  • Utilize GoHighLevel Customer Relations Management (CRM)
  • Coordinate with our technical team to schedule and deliver scans

     Requirements:

    • 2+ years in B2B sales — preferably IT, cybersecurity, or compliance services
    • Proven success hunting and closing new accounts
    • Clear communicator, self-starter, and able to work without constant supervision
    • Familiarity with vulnerability scanning, pen testing, or MSP services is a strong plus
    • We have extensive support materials
    • Comfortable working 100% on commission (20–30% of gross profit)


    Why Join Peggnet:

    • Reputable, established MSP with school and municipal contracts in place
    • Backing from a technical team that delivers results
    • Fully prepared sales decks, pricing sheets, and demo support
    • A product every business needs but few truly understand — that’s where you come in
    • Potential to scale into recurring revenue sales for full MSP services


    Commission Structure (for Secure360):

    • Base scans (starting at $1,995): 20% commission
    • Deep scans or bundled annual plans (up to $6,000+): 30% commission
    • Bonuses for hitting sales milestones and recurring service contracts
