Professional Development Consultant | Remote & Flexible (Durham, NC)

• Salary 120K+ (This is an independent, performance-based role and not a salaried/W-2 position.)
• State/Province North Carolina
• Country United States

Job Description

You’ve built valuable experience. Now you're looking for a way to use it that gives you greater flexibility, meaningful work, and room to keep growing personally and professionally.

LiveHappy Initiative is seeking experienced professionals who are driven, motivated, and ready for a new chapter. This Professional Development Consultant role offers remote work, a flexible schedule, and the opportunity to apply your existing strengths in new ways while creating greater control over when and where you work.

At LiveHappy Initiative, we offer access to world-class leadership and personal development programs, structured systems for long-term professional achievement, and the support of a global organization operating in more than 120 countries.

What the Role Involves

This role centers around communication, relationship development, and meaningful conversations with professionals who are exploring change and considering what they want next.

Using a structured, consultative process, you’ll:

• Connect with professionals who have expressed interest in exploring a different path
• Conduct discovery conversations to understand their goals, priorities, and alignment
• Introduce qualified individuals to established personal and professional development programs
• Build and nurture professional relationships through thoughtful follow-up
• Use established marketing strategies and shared best practices to generate warm interest and develop prospective client relationships
• Manage conversations, activity, and follow-up using CRM and digital communication tools
• Participate in ongoing leadership and professional development training

Step-by-step systems, comprehensive training, and ongoing support are provided. You’ll work independently while benefiting from an established framework and supportive global community.

Who This Tends to Fit

This role tends to appeal to experienced professionals who want to keep using the skills, judgment, and perspective they’ve developed throughout their careers, but in a structure that offers greater flexibility and ownership over what comes next.

You may be a strong fit if you have 10+ years of professional experience, particularly in marketing, communications, consulting, business development, client success, leadership, learning and development, or a related field.

You’re likely someone who:

• Communicates confidently and enjoys consultative, one-to-one conversations
• Builds trust and professional relationships naturally
• Is comfortable generating interest and following a structured process
• Works well independently and takes ownership of activity and results
• Values continued learning, leadership development, and personal growth
• Wants meaningful professional challenge without being tied to a traditional work structure
• Is open to performance-based income rather than a traditional salaried position

Prior experience in the personal development industry is not required. Full training and ongoing support are provided.

Flexibility & Income

This is a remote, self-directed role with the flexibility to work from home or wherever you choose and structure your schedule around your priorities.

Some people begin alongside an existing career or other commitments, while others choose to devote more time as they progress.

Income is performance-based rather than a traditional salary, allowing results to reflect individual effort and outcomes. There are no predetermined advancement timelines or earnings caps.

You’ll also have access to established marketing approaches and shared best practices for generating warm interest.
