Job description

What's the next ten years of your career worth in real ownership?

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

Partnership structure (LLC member with profit distributions)

This is a partnership role, not an employment role. You join as an LLC member with a defined membership interest. Cross‑division CRO membership lives either at the holding‑co level or pro‑rata across division LLCs, negotiable based on revenue allocation.

The membership interest tiers are the headline. Tier 3 (3‑8%) grants at hire if you clear a 6‑month trial against the 5‑gate evaluation. Tier 4 (8‑15%, true partner level) progresses at month 18‑24 with sustained firm‑wide revenue performance. Vesting runs four years with a one‑year cliff. Zero institutional debt means no forced dilution from future investor rounds, so your membership stays your membership.

Profit distributions flow quarterly, proportional to membership. Direct attribution adds 3‑5% override on total firm revenue and 5‑10% on revenue you directly sourced. Bonus stack: $25,000 at first $1M ARR milestone, $50,000 at $2.5M ARR, $100,000 at $5M ARR.

Guaranteed monthly distributions are the honest read on cash. We’re a startup. Day 1‑90 is $0 while you ramp on revenue attribution + membership vesting. Months 3‑4, $3,000‑$5,000/month activates once first division‑wide revenue uplift is measurable. Months 6‑12, $5,000‑$10,000/month at $750K+ firm‑wide attributable revenue. Year 1 OTE at target performance: $100,000‑$250,000 cash + membership vesting.

Tax structure is K‑1, not W‑2. Self‑employment tax applies. Talk to your CPA before signing. The founder takes no guaranteed monthly distributions today either. We share the upside as members.

About this role

You own revenue across all three lines: HR Advisory (mental health industry), Premium Hospitality Staffing, and the emerging GovCon vertical. You orchestrate the SDR + AE teams in both divisions, manage the VP of Sales (Hospitality) and VP of Business Development (cross‑division), partner with division Founding Team leads on go‑to‑market strategy, and own the firm‑wide pipeline + forecast.
