About us
Captains Club Talent is a boutique retained executive search firm in Arizona. We place COOs, Presidents, and VPs at work truck upfitting, construction, and field services companies across the Western U.S. It's a one-person firm run with an AI-forward process — you'll work directly with the founder and see the entire business, not one narrow slice.
The role
This isn't a task-taking job. You'll own our business development research and outreach engine end to end.
Own the daily lead brief. Every morning: 3–4 new prospect companies and 2–3 follow-ups, research already done. Who they are, why they fit, who the decision-maker is, what the hook is. This lands every day without being chased.
Research companies and executives using LinkedIn, Apollo, and public sources — hiring activity, leadership changes, ownership changes, growth signals.
Draft outreach in the founder's voice. Connection notes, follow-up sequences,
Own the pipeline. Track outreach, flag replies, make sure nothing goes cold.
Support conference prep — target lists and meeting confirmations ahead of industry events.
Within your first month, the goal isn't just executing tasks. It's building real context on our market — knowing which companies matter and why — so your judgment gets better every week.
Requirements
Prior business development experience. Non-negotiable. You understand what makes a lead worth pursuing and what makes outreach get ignored.
Strong LinkedIn skills as a research and outreach tool. Sales Navigator a plus.
Hands-on Claude experience. You use it daily as a work tool. We'll keep investing in your AI skills, but you need to be past the learning curve.
Excellent written English. Your writing represents the firm.
Available for this role only. We're not looking for someone splitting time across several clients. If you're juggling multiple gigs, this isn't the fit.
Self-directed. The brief lands on time without reminders.

Recruiting, staffing, or executive search background
Experience researching U.S. construction, trades, or industrial companies
