Business Development Operator - Path to Ownership

Resourcing Edge • Reno, NV

2d • $80,000

About The Position

ABOUT THE ROLE
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.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience in B2B business development, sales, or account management
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain long-term client relationships
• Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
• Comfortable operating in a small business environment where roles evolve
• Growth mindset: willing to learn operations, finance, and leadership -- not just sales
• Integrity: You do what you say. You are honest when it is hard.
• Accountability: You own your outcomes, not just your intentions.
• Servant Leadership: You are motivated to help others succeed, not just yourself.
• Curiosity: You ask good questions and want to understand how things work.
• Long-Term Thinking: You are not here for a quick win. You are building something.
• Initiative: You do not wait to be told. You see what needs to be done and do it.
