Business Development Manager

Resourcing Edge • Reno, NV

18d • $80,000

About The Position

We are recruiting on behalf of a profitable, relationship-driven commercial printing company based in Reno, NV with $2.4M in annual revenue and a loyal B2B customer base built over years of consistent, quality service.
This is not a traditional job. The owner of this business is looking for a partner, someone who wants to grow into leadership and, over time, take ownership of something real. If you are motivated by more than a paycheck and want to build, lead, and eventually own, we would like to start a conversation.
THE PATH: FOUR PHASES OF GROWTH
Phase 1 -- Build: Develop relationships with new and existing B2B customers, establish a repeatable sales pipeline, and generate sustainable top-line growth. You will work alongside the current owner to learn every dimension of the business; operations, production, finance, and client relationships.
Phase 2 -- Lead: Take on day-to-day operational responsibility, manage the team with a servant leadership mindset, drive process improvements, and participate in strategic decision-making. Trust is earned through integrity, accountability, and consistent follow-through.
Phase 3 -- Transition (Year 2+): Begin structured acquisition of partial ownership. Your equity stake will reflect your contribution, performance, and commitment, built on a transparent framework agreed upon from the start.
Phase 4 -- Own (Years 3-10): Gradually transition into majority or full ownership through a supported, structured purchasing process. The current owner remains involved as a resource and mentor throughout the transition.
