Director, Partnerships and Growth

About the Role

This is not a traditional sales position.

We are looking for someone who thrives on building real relationships, connecting with business owners, and creating opportunities through trust and credibility. This role is highly relationship-driven and community-focused.

You will serve as the front door of HR-Rethought — representing our brand in the market, developing strategic partnerships, and helping drive company growth.

If you enjoy being out in the community, meeting leaders, and turning relationships into long-term business opportunities, we’d love to meet you.

What You’ll Do

• Spend the majority of your time networking, meeting business leaders, and building relationships in the community
• Identify and connect with business owners, executives, and referral partners
• Generate new opportunities for HR and Recruiting services
• Set meetings for yourself and other members of the leadership team when appropriate
• Close business opportunities independently and collaborate with the CEO on larger opportunities when needed
• Build and maintain a strong network of referral partners including attorneys, CPAs, private equity groups, consultants, and business leaders
• Stay informed on market trends and business challenges to identify where HR-Rethought can provide value
• Maintain consistent follow-up and relationship management with prospects and partners

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently bringing qualified opportunities into the business
• Building a strong and trusted professional network in Kansas City and surrounding markets
• Converting relationships into long-term clients
• Knowing when to lead opportunities independently and when to involve other team members
• Driving measurable business growth — not just staying busy networking

What We’re Looking For

• Strong relationship-building and networking skills
• Comfortable engaging with business owners and executive leaders
• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently
• Consistent follow-through and strong communication skills
• Ability to ask for business professionally and confidently without being overly transactional
• High integrity and a long-term relationship mindset
• Experience in business development, partnerships, staffing, HR services, recruiting, consulting, or B2B sales is preferred

What This Role Is Not

• An inside sales position
• A marketing or social media role
• Simply attending networking events and handing out business cards
• A structured, behind-the-desk corporate role

This is a growth-focused position built around relationships, visibility, and business development.

Compensation & Growth

• Competitive base salary
• Commission structure tied to revenue generated
• Significant growth opportunity as the company continues to expand
