Former Athlete? Competitor? Future Owner? Get Paid to Compete Again. Team Leader | Junk King Path to Ownership Opportunity You didn’t train for years just to end up sitting behind a desk, watching the clock, and wondering where the competition went. You know what it means to show up early, push through fatigue, lead under pressure, hold teammates accountable, and find a way to win. Now bring that same mindset to a business where effort, leadership, toughness, and performance actually pay off. At Junk King, we’re building a team of former athletes, competitors, and high-output leaders who want more than a paycheck. This is a fast-paced, physical, customer-facing leadership role with a real path to growth - and for the right person, a path to ownership. This is not just a “junk removal job.” This is operations. Sales. Leadership. Customer service. Logistics. Problem-solving. Team execution. Revenue generation. Every day is different. Every job has a scoreboard. Every customer experience matters. Every team member has the opportunity to separate themselves. If you miss being part of a team, competing for results, and being held to a high standard, this may be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
Why Former Athletes and Competitors Thrive Here You’ll Compete Again You’ll be measured on performance, customer experience, reviews, efficiency, teamwork, and results. High performers earn more, grow faster, and get more responsibility.
You’ll Stay Active This is not a desk job. You’ll move, lift, drive, lead, hustle, and stay physically engaged throughout the day.
You’ll Lead a Team You’ll work side by side with people who value effort, accountability, communication, and toughness. The best team members don’t just do the job - they elevate the people around them.
You’ll Learn How Business Really Works We’ll train you in the skills that matter if you want to grow: Leadership Customer communication Sales and negotiation Logistics and operations Truck management Team accountability Problem-solving under pressure Revenue and performance tracking The same traits that made you successful in sports can help you move fast here: discipline, coachability, resilience, competitiveness, and leadership.
You’ll Have a Path Forward We are looking for people who want responsibility, not comfort. If you prove you can lead people, create great customer experiences, drive results, and operate with ownership, there is a path to bigger opportunities inside the business. For the right person, that can include a path to ownership.
