About the role
Engagement: 1099 affiliate. Percentage of referred revenue. Location: Remote.
A note from the founder
The Wilkinson Firm grows by referral. That is not a slogan. It is the operating model.
Industry insiders who know the workforce problem already know who else needs a firm like ours. CMHC executives talk to other CMHC executives. Hotel GMs know other hotel GMs. MBE founders know other MBE founders. The referral is the highest-trust acquisition channel TWF has.
We are formalizing the Affiliate Partner Program. If you can refer client conversations that turn into TWF engagements, you earn a percentage of the contract.
This is a performance role with a clear climb. Lower starter percentage to prove the model. Real upside as your referral track record builds.
What you would do
Refer qualified prospects into TWF across HR Advisory, PHES, and GovCon
Make the warm intro (email, LinkedIn, or call) and let TWF handle from there
