The posting

Year 2 since launch. Three signed properties. Healthy valuation already on the table. Ground-floor seat to take the hospitality sales engine from $425K to $5M and win together.

The Wilkinson Firm (TWF) is a workforce strategy and staffing firm. Two divisions: Premium Hospitality Staffing and HR Advisory for the mental health industry. Headquartered in Atlanta and NC. We launched in April 2025 and we are now in Year 2 of operations. Three active hospitality contracts in delivery (Hilton, Convention Center, Holiday Inn). FY26 trajectory $425-525K. Zero loans, zero institutional debt. A healthy valuation already established. Defined path to $5M+ over the next 24 months. This is a true ground-floor seat for the right partner who wants to win together and build something great with us.

Partnership structure (LLC member with profit distributions)

  • Membership interest: Tier 2 (1-3%) at month 6 if 5-gate evaluation met. Tier 3 (3-8%) at month 18. Tier 4 (8-15%) at month 36 for the right operator.
  • Vesting: 4-year vest, 1-year cliff.
  • LLC split: Membership converts to Hospitality Staffing LLC membership if divisions split (planned).
  • Profit distributions: Quarterly proportional to membership. Direct attribution: 8% on every signed property account, Y1-3. Recurring revenue share: 1-5% of net profit on staffing fees from accounts you closed.
  • Bonus stack: $5,000 per enterprise hotel chain agreement signed.
  • Guaranteed monthly distributions: $0 Day 1-90. $2-4K/mo Month 3-4. $4-6K/mo Month 6-12 at $300K+ attributable revenue.
  • Y1 OTE at target: $80,000-$180,000 cash + membership vesting + recurring residual.
  • Tax: K-1, not W-2. Self-employment tax applies.
  • Founder's deal: Founder takes no guaranteed monthly distributions today either.

This role

You own the entire sales motion for the Hospitality Staffing division. AE team leadership (Hospitality SDR + AE roles already live), enterprise account strategy (hotel chains: Marriott regional offices, Hilton enterprise, IHG cluster deals), pipeline architecture, sales ops, and the trajectory from three signed properties to fifty.

What's already built

  • The hospitality operating system: 35+ documented processes, Five-Lane Command Structure, Traffic Light Exception System, Event Mode Selector, Captain School Pipeline, Gold Shield Certified standards, the TWF Make-It-Right Guarantee
  • Three signed property contracts in delivery as proof of execution
  • hospitality.thewilkinsonfirm.com live
  • MBE-certified, SAM.gov-registered, Hartford-insured, ASA + NAPEO member, TWF Team Portal in production
  • Bench: former EEOC Administrative Law Judge, employment attorneys, Chief Legal & Senior Counsel (hospitality contracts), Director of Operations enforcing standards. 32-year enterprise operations specialist

What you own

  • The Hospitality Staffing sales motion: SDR + AE team management, pipeline strategy
  • Enterprise account strategy: hotel chains, multi-property contracts, regional clusters
  • Pipeline forecast and sales operations
  • Industry presence: NCRLA, GRA, GHLA, AAHOA chapter relationships and event presence
  • Sales team hiring and management as the division grows
  • Coordination with the Founding Partner of Hospitality Operations on delivery + trial conversion

What success looks like

  • Day 60: SDR + AE motion fully operational, pipeline of 30+ qualified properties in active conversation
  • Day 90: 3-5 new property contracts signed, first enterprise chain conversation advanced
  • Day 180: 10-15 new properties signed cumulatively, Tier 2 membership grant landed
  • Day 365: $1.5M-$2.5M annualized revenue contribution, first enterprise chain deal signed, Tier 3 progression on the table

Who you are

  • 10-15 years in hospitality staffing sales, hotel BD, or hospitality services sales
  • Track record managing AEs and growing a sales motion from $1M to $5M+ in services revenue
  • Senior network of hotel GMs, Directors of F&B, Catering Directors, regional VPs across the Southeast
  • Familiar with enterprise hotel chain procurement (Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt regional offices)
  • You've sold hospitality long enough to know the difference between body-shop staffing and trained-team staffing
  • You've made enough money to take a member-grade swing, or you're early enough to bet on yourself
  • Comfortable with up to 25% regional travel

Bonus points

  • Former VP or Director of Sales at a hospitality staffing firm doing $5M+ revenue
  • Existing relationships with regional VPs at Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt
  • Active leadership in NCRLA, GRA, GHLA, AAHOA
  • HubSpot Sales Hub fluency at admin-level

Selection process

4 steps. We move at the pace of the right partner.

  1. Founder conversation (45 min)
  2. Strategic exercise: outline the first enterprise hotel chain you'd target and your close strategy
  3. Reference checks + work history + background + credit verification (standard for partner-level membership)
  4. Membership terms negotiation + LLC operating agreement review

What we believe

Trust before revenue. Premium under pressure. Ground-floor seat. Real ownership. People deserve to be developed, not discarded. We close because we earn trust, not because we have a slick deck. We win together. We pay people in real upside, not in pizza parties. We are building something great and we want partners who feel the same way.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • 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.
