The posting

The Wilkinson Firm (TWF) is an enterprise workforce strategy and solutions company with two divisions: Hospitality Staffing and HR Advisory (behavioral health and HHS focus). Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and NC, respectively. Three active staffing contracts today; the next 24 months are about building and expanding a real book across the Hospitality Staffing industry.

About this role

TWF's Hospitality Staffing division is in 0-to-1 mode. You're not inheriting a book of business. You're building one from zero, with the founder, against three live contracts already in delivery as proof we can execute. If you're the right person, you become a partner in this division long-term.

The partner upside

  • TWF Earned Equity Ladder: Tier 2 (1-3% equity) eligible at month 6 against the 5-gate evaluation
  • Tier 3 (3-8% equity) progression by month 18 if you continue performing and take on strategic ownership
  • Tier 4 (8-15% equity, true partner level) by month 36 for the right person
  • Recurring revenue share: 1-5% of net profit on staffing fees from accounts you signed, paid quarterly, residual for the life of the account
  • The math: 8-12 signed properties in Y1 at $50,000 to $80,000 average annualized recurring puts you in Tier 2 equity range by month 6 and creates a residual stream that compounds for years

The pay

  • Base: $1,500/month during first 90 days while your book builds, then scales with performance
  • Commission: 12% of first-year contract value, 8% Y2+ on the same account
  • Recurring revenue share: 1-5% of net profit on recurring staffing fees from accounts you signed
  • Bonus stack: $2,500 per signed property over 4 in any 90-day window
  • Realistic Y1 total comp at target performance: $50,000 to $120,000 plus residual stream that compounds
  • Equity: see "The partner upside" above

What this is and isn't

This is:

  • Employee-level-1 on the closing side of a relationship-led hospitality staffing firm
  • Founder-led with hands-on weekly support during ramp
  • Equity-bearing with a real path to partner-level ownership
  • Book-of-business work. You're hired for your network, your close rate, and your ability to keep accounts after they sign

This isn't:

  • Closing against an inherited book or established marketing engine. The book is yours to build
  • A transactional vendor pitch. Hotel GMs buy on trust and delivery quality, not on slides
  • A hand-holding environment. People who need a defined system to operate inside will struggle here

What you'll do

  • Run Discovery Calls with hotel GMs, Directors of F&B, Banquet Directors, and Catering Directors
  • Build proposals using TWF's capability stack: Gold Shield Certified standards, captain-led delivery, multi-state coverage
  • Negotiate and sign Master Service Agreements
  • Manage the 30-day trial conversion in partnership with the Director of Hospitality Operations
  • Expand accounts into second venues and multi-property contracts
  • Forecast pipeline weekly in HubSpot

Why this role exists

TWF has three active hospitality staffing contracts, operational leadership in seat, and a clear path to $5M across the Southeast over the next 24 months. There is no dedicated closer building the book. You're it. Without you, the division stays at three contracts. With you, it becomes the firm's revenue engine.

What success looks like

  • Day 30: pipeline of 8-12 qualified Discovery Calls in flight, first 1-2 trial agreements signed
  • Day 60: first Master Service Agreement signed
  • Day 90: 2-4 signed MSAs, 70% trial-to-recurring conversion rate sustained
  • Day 180: 4-6 signed MSAs cumulative, Tier 2 equity grant landed, recurring revenue share starting to compound
  • Day 365: $300,000 to $1M+ annualized recurring contribution traceable, Tier 3 equity progression on the table

Who you are

  • 5-10 years in hospitality sales, hospitality staffing, or hotel F&B leadership
  • Comfortable across hotel chains, independent properties, and event venues
  • You have a network of hotel GMs and F&B Directors across the Southeast, or willingness to build one in 90 days
  • Operator-grade. You've closed events AND you've run them
  • You've worked in a startup or early-stage environment before, or you know that's the environment you want
  • Located in a Southeast market with hotel density
  • Comfortable with up to 25% regional travel

Bonus points

  • Prior role at Hilton, Marriott, IHG, full-service convention property, or premium independent
  • Existing relationships with regional chambers, NCRLA, GHLA, AAHOA
  • HubSpot Sales Hub fluency

How we work

  • Remote primary, with regional travel up to 25%
  • In-person at TWF Greenville-NC HQ quarterly for planning and alignment
  • Tech stack ready on Day 1: HubSpot, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, DocuSign, Slack
  • Pipeline reviews biweekly with founder
  • You'll partner with the SDR (Hospitality Staffing) on top-of-funnel hand-offs and the Director of Hospitality Operations on trial conversions

What we believe

Trust before revenue. Mission before money. Long game. We earn the right to the next contract by over-delivering on this one. We build durable relationships, not flashy logos. We pay people in real upside, not in pizza parties.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
