JOB OVERVIEW

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, email. You draft, he approves and sends.
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.

Nice to have

Recruiting, staffing, or executive search background
---------- or similar sales intelligence tools
Experience researching U.S. construction, trades, or industrial companies

Details

20+ hours/week to start, with room to grow into full-time
$8–9 USD/hour depending on experience
Work asynchronously on your own schedule — as long as the daily brief lands on time
One live call per week with the founder
Structured onboarding: first two weeks include daily check-ins so you build context fast, then we move to weekly
Long-term role. We're building this position to last, not filling a gap.

How to apply

Send a short note covering:

A business development role you've held and one specific result you drove
How you currently use Claude in your work — be specific about the task, not the tool
Pick any construction or work truck company in the Western U.S., find who runs operations there, and write the LinkedIn message you'd send them. Three to four sentences.

Start your application with the word "Anchor" so I know you read the full post.
