Join Our Team - Seeking a Business Development Apprentice - Work Remotely

We're hiring.

One of the best things about this blog is being able to come here from time to time and put out a call for help.

It's an exciting prospect. What new ideas and energy can an outsider bring to our business?

Over the years we've written more job ads than I can remember, although I was recently reminded of our very first when reading Alasdair's blog. Of working with us he wrote:

My freedom at work grew with my responsibilities. I had my own team. I set my own schedule. I took time off to travel when I wanted. I set company policy and introduced new initiatives. I built a business I wanted to be a part of and I was paid well to do it.

Whenever I got good at my work I stopped doing it. I delegated it, hired someone to do it or automated it. Each time I put myself out of a job it terrified me. 

Does that sound like something you'd like to say about your work? Are you willing to challenge yourself - to do emotionally difficult work - to grow a meaningful business? Do you love community, dealmaking, and working directly with entrepreneurs to help make their goals a reality?

We're seeking someone with an exceptional work ethic and ambition to grow through the quality of their work.

This position is full-time and remote (i.e. work from home). Some travel will be required.

If you know anyone that would be good for this position, I'd love for you to forward this blog post to them. Thank you!
