Accountability Coach (Malaysia)

About Commit Action:

Commit Action is a fast-growing, fully remote tech startup on a mission to help entrepreneurs double their productive output through evidence-based accountability coaching. We combine best-in-class productivity software with human-powered coaching from psychology professionals to keep entrepreneurs focused, accountable, and achieving their most important goals.

We are looking for a full time psychologist, based in Malaysia, to join our team.

The Role:

You will work one-on-one with your own roster of entrepreneurs, creatives and execs supporting them as a dedicated accountability coach. Your work will primarily consist of client consultations (via audio/phone) in which you will conduct a detailed check in and planning ritual for our client's goals and schedule. You will become a master of productivity and entrepreneurial psychology.

• Stimulating, fulfilling and varied work—talk to interesting people all day, never be bored!

• Encyclopedic on-the-job training to build valuable career skills—psychology, coaching and business/innovation.

• Immerse yourself in an evidence-based business + psychology philosophy (no woo-woo at this company, just research proven methodology)

• No selling! This is not a sales job but a chance to put your skills and experience to use in a new way.

• Master new skills to become a productivity coach and trusted advisor to creatives, entrepreneurs and execs.

• Join a team of talented, brilliant peers all conspiring for your success.

• Earn big bonuses based entirely on building relationships, using skills you learn on the job.

What You'll Do:

• Apply psychological principles to hold powerful weekly 30-minute coaching sessions with U.S.-based entrepreneurs

• Implement behavioral change techniques to help clients overcome execution barriers and productivity challenges

• Utilize your psychological training to identify cognitive biases, motivational issues, and behavioral patterns affecting client performance

• Collaborate one-on-one to optimize clients' task prioritization using psychological frameworks for decision-making

• Build genuine therapeutic-style rapport with diverse founders and executives (you're a trusted partner, not "just support")

• Apply behavior modification strategies through strategic follow-up communications and reinforcement

• Maintain consistent client engagement using principles of habit formation and commitment psychology

Detailed, in depth training in Commit Action’s proprietary methodology is provided—think of it as a PhD in Productivity Coaching. We make expert coaches out of people who bring the right raw potential to the job!

What We Offer:

• Salary: USD $1,200–$1,800, paid in MYR

• 4 Weeks Paid Time Off each year

• Performance bonuses tied to KPIs to increase your earnings from base rate.

• Paid Skills Trial: Top applicants invited to an 8-hour, USD$100 test project to check for mutual fit

• Work-Life Balance: Remote work with fixed hours aligned to U.S. time zones

• Growth Opportunity: Join a rapidly scaling company helping high-performing entrepreneurs

Required Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology, Industrial-Organizational Psychology, or related field

• Strong understanding of cognitive-behavioral principles, motivation theory, and habit formation

• Native-level English with neutral accent (audio sample required)

• Reliable technology setup: desktop/laptop, >50Mbps internet, consistent connection, noise-cancelling headset, quiet workspace

• Availability during U.S. business hours (typically 8 am–5 pm EST)

• Experience applying psychological principles in coaching, counseling, or organizational settings
