Job description

Hoyt Consulting is partnered with Trinity Nexus, a women-founded, executive-led firm focused on helping companies grow, strengthen their organizations, and achieve long-term success.

With leadership experience spanning business strategy, technology, operations, and organizational growth, Trinity Nexus partners with businesses navigating expansion, change, and new opportunities.

Their approach is collaborative, relationship-driven, and centered on understanding the unique challenges companies face as they evolve.

As Trinity Nexus continues expanding its presence in Austin, they are seeking a personable, ambitious, and entrepreneurial individual to help develop strategic relationships and create meaningful business opportunities.

The Opportunity

Great businesses grow through the right relationships, opportunities, and strategic partnerships.

Trinity Nexus is seeking a Strategic Growth & Partnerships Associate who enjoys connecting with people, discovering what makes businesses successful, and helping companies identify opportunities for growth.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who is naturally outgoing, curious about business, and motivated by the chance to make a meaningful impact.

The individual will work directly with the founding leadership team to identify growing companies, build relationships with key decision-makers, and initiate conversations about business challenges, organizational priorities, and future opportunities.

From emerging startups to established businesses preparing for their next phase of growth, the focus will be on creating connections that lead to valuable, long-term partnerships.

This is not a traditional closing-focused sales position. The primary responsibility is opening doors, developing relationships, and creating opportunities. Trinity Nexus leadership manages the sales process and finalizes engagements.

Key Responsibilities

Build Strategic Business Relationships

• Develop connections with founders, entrepreneurs, executives, and business leaders throughout Austin.

• Establish relationships with companies experiencing growth, expansion, or organizational change.

• Attend local networking events, business conferences, startup gatherings, and professional community functions.

• Represent Trinity Nexus and help strengthen its visibility within the Austin business community.

• Cultivate long-term relationships with prospective clients, referral partners, and strategic collaborators.

Identify Business Growth Opportunities

• Research companies, industries, and emerging businesses to identify potential partnerships.

• Learn about organizations' growth strategies, operational challenges, and evolving business needs.

• Identify key decision-makers and initiate meaningful conversations.

• Conduct thoughtful outreach through LinkedIn, email, professional networking, and referrals.

• Facilitate introductions and qualified business meetings with Trinity Nexus leadership.

Collaborate with the Leadership Team

• Work directly with the founders to support business expansion and partnership development.

• Share insights on market trends, emerging companies, and potential business opportunities.

• Contribute ideas for expanding Trinity Nexus's professional network and market presence.

• Help identify events, partnerships, and outreach strategies that create the greatest value.

• Participate in collaborative discussions focused on business growth and relationship development.

Maintain and Strengthen Connections

• Develop and maintain an organized network of business contacts and prospective partners.

• Follow up consistently to nurture relationships and maintain engagement.

• Track introductions, partnership opportunities, and ongoing conversations.

• Coordinate introductory meetings between prospective partners and the leadership team.

The Ideal Candidate

Trinity Nexus is looking for someone who brings energy, curiosity, confidence, and a genuine interest in helping businesses succeed.

The ideal candidate is a natural relationship-builder who enjoys meeting new people, understands the importance of strong professional connections, and takes initiative without needing constant direction.

This opportunity could be a great fit for someone who:

• Is outgoing, personable, and comfortable initiating conversations.

• Enjoys networking and connecting with entrepreneurs and business leaders.

• Has a genuine interest in business growth, strategy, and entrepreneurship.

• Communicates confidently and professionally with individuals at all levels.

• Understands how to build trust and develop meaningful, lasting relationships.

• Is proactive, resourceful, and comfortable working independently.

• Demonstrates strong organization and consistent follow-through.

• Enjoys collaborating with experienced leaders and contributing new ideas.

• Has an entrepreneurial mindset and is motivated by results.

• Wants to build a strong professional network while contributing to a growing organization.

Experience in business development, strategic partnerships, client relations, technology, professional services, hospitality, events, or community engagement is beneficial but not required.

Initiative, communication skills, relationship-building ability, and drive are valued just as highly as previous experience.

Why Join Trinity Nexus?

This is an opportunity to work alongside an experienced founding team and contribute directly to the expansion of a growing business.

Unlike traditional corporate environments, Trinity Nexus offers a collaborative, entrepreneurial setting where contributions are visible and new ideas are encouraged.

• Direct access to experienced founders: Collaborate with business leaders across strategy, technology, operations, and organizational growth.

Compensation & Engagement Details

• $17–$21 per hour, depending on experience.

• Additional performance-based commission tied to new business generated through the associate's efforts.

• Flexible, part-time independent contractor (1099) engagement.

• Up to 80 billable hours per month.

• Austin-based business networking and relationship-building opportunities.

The position focuses on identifying opportunities, building relationships, and facilitating qualified introductions. Trinity Nexus leadership will manage proposals, negotiations, and the closing process.
