Head of AI Transformation & Business Development at Checkfirst | Revolutionizing TIC workflows with AI

Job Type:

Commission-Based | Independent Contractor | Remote

Seniority Level: Director / Senior Manager / Industry Consultant

Function: Business Development, Strategy, Partnerships

Industry: Testing, Inspection & Certification (TIC), Compliance, Auditing, Quality Management

About Checkfirst.ai

Checkfirst.ai is an AI-native platform driving automation and transformation in the Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) industry. Our product suite - ScheduleAI, VerifyAI, and InspectAI - enables leading TIC firms to plan audits faster, verify documents more accurately, and reduce operational waste across global compliance workflows.

Our clients are numerous national and regional certification bodies across Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

Job Description

We are expanding our global footprint through a select network of senior-level strategic partners who can help us open doors, make warm introductions, and share contextual insights with decision-makers in the TIC ecosystem.

This role is not a traditional sales or employment opportunity. It is designed for independent, experienced professionals with deep networks who are looking to stay at the forefront of industry innovation with full flexibility and long-term earning potential.

What You’ll Do

As a Strategic Industry Partner, your core contribution will be to bridge Checkfirst.ai with high-impact opportunities within your professional network. You’ll play an advisory and facilitative role not a transactional one.

Specifically, you will:

• Identify organizations or leaders who would benefit from AI-powered audit scheduling, document verification, or inspection automation
• Make warm introductions to Checkfirst’s commercial team, supported by contextual insights on the client’s structure, workflows, or pain points
• Offer strategic guidance during early engagements (e.g., help shape solution fit, join discovery or demo calls where useful)
• Contribute industry intelligence, including feedback on common operational blockers, budget sensitivities, or emerging trends in compliance and certification workflows
• Maintain relationship ownership where desired, staying connected to client progress without needing to handle closing or implementation
• Optionally collaborate on content such as joint webinars, partner case studies, or roundtable events to position Checkfirst within your market
• Your level of involvement can vary deal-by-deal. Some introductions may be simple referrals, while others may benefit from a more engaged partnership role all structured to suit your availability and interest.

Who This Role Is For

We’re looking for:

• Directors, consultants, or former executives in the TIC, regulatory compliance, or certification space
• Individuals with strong relationships across QA, inspection, or audit functions
• Professionals who understand operational inefficiencies in audit scheduling, document review, or reporting workflows
• People seeking an independent, high-trust, and flexible opportunity to make strategic referrals and shape the future of compliance automation

What We Offer

Checkfirst.ai is committed to equipping our Strategic Partners with the tools, resources, and brand alignment needed to succeed. We recognize that credibility, trust, and timing are critical so we’ve designed a framework that respects your independence while empowering high-value engagement.

As a Strategic Partner, you’ll gain access to:

• Dedicated Enablement Kit: Custom pitch decks, one-pagers, explainer videos, email scripts, ROI calculators, and product walkthroughs tailored for audit and certification buyers
• Full Commercial Support: Our team will handle demos, pricing, technical discussions, onboarding, and integration - ensuring you never need to "sell," just open the right doors
• Exclusive Product Access: Early previews of upcoming features, product roadmap sessions, and strategic input opportunities (including beta testing if desired)
• Brand Association & Visibility: Opportunities for co-branded webinars, referral spotlights, and industry recognition alongside a fast-scaling, AI-first compliance brand
• Referral Tracking Tools: CRM access with real-time visibility into your introductions, deal statuses, and engagement history
• Flexible Engagement Terms: No quotas, no fixed hours operate fully remotely, with the freedom to contribute where and how you add the most value
• Tailored Earning Framework: Commercial rewards are structured based on your level of involvement in each opportunity. These are designed to reflect real impact and are discussed individually during onboarding.

Location:

Remote | Global (with priority interest in Europe, MENA, North America)
